Who would you save?
You are in a small town. Ahead of you are two people.
One, and old man, near the end of his life.
The other, a young man, with his future ahead of him.
Both are caught on a rail road track, and there is a train headed towards them.
You are absolutely sure you could have one of them, and absolutely sure you could not save both of them.
Now, the old man lived a pious life. He is loved by all. But he will fade and die shortly of natural causes.
The young man is a juvinile delinquent. He vandalizes, bullies, and is generally a real git. But he has his whole life ahead of him.
Who would you save?

Please think about and answer the above question before looking at and answering the next question:
Spoiler: Now, what if it was Aug 06, 1945, the little town was Hiroshima, and it is 8:10 am, 5 minutes before the atomic bomb drops. Does your answer change?
