Who would you save?

[buttons]

so i was reading this article about how a woman asks her husband "who would you throw out of a sinking hot air balloon to enable the other passengers to survive - me or the kids?"

basically i want to ask you guys the same question. say you've been with the love of your life for 20 years+ and you have a child or children, you could only save one - who would it be?
please vote in the poll i'm interested to see the female vs male differences

i guess everything depends on the situation etc but if you could only save one....
i guess i should have put a "i wouldn't save any" option

I'd say my kids.... they have their whole lives to live

[dirrty]

personally couldn't say whether i'd die for my partner, but i certainly would for my children.

Just realised... why isn't there an option to kill yourself to save them both?

[Eric]

i would save my partner cause i hate kids

Just realised... why isn't there an option to kill yourself to save them both?

cause that aint the question and i think a lot of people would choose that option.

also interesting cause from what i've read on other forums so far men have said wife ("can always have more kids" o.o) & women choose the children.
then there are some men saying "the kids as my wife wouldn't forgive me for not saving them"

i'd probably save my kids then kill myself lol and hope the kids are brought up well :/
kids are more vulnerable while an adult is more likely to save themselves so i dunno.. id probably go for kids but really couldn't say unless i was in the situation..

cant i chuck all of them out

Save my kids because they've got an entire life ahead of them. I wouldn't say my wife's life is completely invalid because that's untrue, but the kids have a future to look forward to so I'd guess I'd chuck my wife out?

I don't like this question Makes me seem horrid lol. Ofc, if I had the option to chuck myself out I would but that's not the main issue .

self/wife to save kids

[Inseriousity.]

same reason as kieran, save kids cos they have whole life ahead of them. i'll stay in heaven and hope they dont get hit by a bus or something.
