The real answer is that this has nothing to do with ethics... It's a litmus test. I took a class in Ethical Theory in college and on the first day the professor asks a similar question: You are in a lifeboat with 10 people. If you keep the 4 strongest rowers you have a 50/50 chance of survival. If you try to save everyone- everyone dies. What do you do? There is no ethical answer...the question is posed to find out about YOU.
