In response to Osa - full post here
You are saying that given the choice between saving person A's life or person B's life, you would choose to let both die? The possibility of being considered unpatriotic should not sufficiently deter you from saving someone's life. I think the label of playing favorites or being unpatriotic should be overlooked when a person's life hangs in the balance. Additionally, if you have the ability to save a person at little cost to yourself and chose not to do it, it is essentially akin to murder; meaning that if you chose to save neither, you have effectively murdered one of them.
I, personally, would save one person trying to base it off of chance or something else. I could blindly run towards one, or make an instinctual choice, or I could even choose on the basis of country of origin (I would likely choose the non-American and receive that unpatriotic title), anything is better than letting one of them die when I could have saved them.
