The engineer from Oberoi Hotel in Mumbai decided to take the bullet for the guest... why did he consider the guest's life more important than his (at that time)?
If the boat with your wife and mother is sinking, and you can only save one, who will you choose?
In a burning building, a firefighter only has time to save one life, how will he choose?
In a crisis situation where a hospital only has enough blood to save either a VIP or a commoner with similar condition, who will be saved?
Compensation for kidney donation...is one life worth less than another?
Euthanasia - can we choose to end the life of another who is suffering?
Tough questions... but no easy answers. Our answers will depend on which side we are on, our answers will put us in extreme ethical dilemma, our answers may make us sick, our answers may be right for the society but wrong for the individual, and our answers may make us live with regret for the rest of our lives.
... we hope we do not have to make these decisions, but sometimes they become the inevitable. Eventually, I guess we will step out of intellectualisation, into the domain of our gut and hopefully our faith.
How will you decide?
