      2 Groups:

      Group A - 10 people
      Group B - 100 people

      In 10 seconds both of these groups are going to be killed. You can save 1 group.

      You have 3 choices and 3 outcomes. You cannot exchange one group for yourself.

      1.) Save group A. You have saved 10 people and allowed 100 to die.
      2.) Save group B. You have saved 100 people and allowed 10 to die.
      3.) Refuse to make the call. You have allowed 110 people to die.

      Which option would you choose?

      I did this with my philosophy class a few years ago. It surprised me 1/18 chose option 1 and 4/18 choice option 3. Only 13/18 chose option 2. Just did it with a bunch of girls again kinda related to what we were discussing, again all but 1 chose option 3! Thought I'd post here as a bit of fun dont cry its not real just interested to see what people would do and I'm likely to get more numbers than 18 therefore a more representative percentage.

      Don't see why it would, unless you mention everyone in option 2 are Muslim lol.

      Disclaimer: I'm unbiased about religion, I don't care if you are Muslim, Catholic etc. just going off of previous threads about religion, I am not singling out the Muslim religion at all.

      What if the 100 were prisoners (you don't know their crimes) and the 10 were every day citizens.

      Would you make the same call?
