The best option would probably be to try and go Chuck Norris with about 100 other fathers at the same time and rush the guards stealing their weapons. I would like to think I am brave enough for such a thing. However, it is likely i would be killed.
What a shitty thing to have to decide, we are monsters. This exact scenario has happened many times. I feel a big sick to think about people who have had to decide this in reality.  |
Well I think in regards to the original problem I posted, most parents would not want to be killed. But if forced with the choice of being killed versus their child being killed, vast majority of parents would choose to die...and they would be happy with that choice knowing that their child will live.
The far more devastating scenario IMHO is
Sophie's Choice, where the parent must choose which child is to be executed, and which one lives.
