Personally, i am fascinated that the question was asked at all. The brain will never process a question like this logically... as reason only follows a strong flash of affect from emotional intuition and we then react accordingly.
It is moral question. Moral questions are processed very differently in the brain than other mundane questions.
The only way a person wouldn't process this question properly or not understand a parents instant, unwavering decision to save their child is if something is wired wrong in their brains emotional processing.... such as with a psychopath where there is no intense, internal emotional response to the loss of their child and every dilemma and every decision, no matter how disturbing to a normal person is basically a tie to them and they could go either way (i.e. kill this dog by bashing its head with a rock or pet it and give it a toy to play with).
The interesting thing in asking this question is that, though the answer seems painfully obvious to anyone, it likely isn't obvious to the person asking it, thus it suggests something is up with his brains emotional wiring... being that to a normal person the question could be likened to say, asking "if you are thirsty, would you drink something". You could only ask such a question if you weren't sure what thirst was, why people drink water etc etc etc, again, telling you that something is really wrong in this persons brain and impeding their ability to understand these things.
