Could I sacrifice myself for them both
SW-User
@TacoCat Bravo !

@TacoCat well deserved Best answer

You would need to decide which one had the best chance of living, there is no point trying to save the one that is hopeless. If your mom can't swim, she will drag you both down, same for your wife. If one of them is too far away, you save the closer one first, then try to get to the second. I don't think you would have to decide which one, you save the one you can and sorry for the other.

I am not planning to ever marry. But hypothetically I should choose the one who can give more to the society.
SW-User
@MasterofNone So if one's wife is an active member of a social organization ....choice has to be

@SW-User seems to be the case. Let's not let our emotions make us bad decisions. Everyone will die one day or the other. Whatever way humanity go forward faster and more efficiently is the way to go.

My wife of course, mother is 92 and had already lived a complete life.
SW-User
@SW-User But after all, she is the one who has given birth to you, invested practically all her life loving you, feeding you, taking care of you when ill, educating you, and making you the person you are today.
SW-User
@SW-User Yeah, so?
Does that mean it give's her more right to live than someone else? 🤔
SW-User
@SW-User definitely , it becomes your responsibility to save her .

Neither my mom is already gone and I have a husband. So if I had to choose it would be him.

if i could save one, that implies that they could both survive if i give up my life for them...
So, that would be my choice..

My mother would want me to save everyone else in the boat first, which is what would make we want to save her.

I read this questiomany times...its difficult....i think I wld just jump in the water and get drown...that wld be easier...
My mother because I’m not fucking married.
SW-User
@Stark What if you get married ?
@SW-User I would more than likely choose my mother but since I’m not married it’s easier to just say that.
