I think it’s just an honest answer. Most ppl kid themselves that they would not be concerned about their own self interests over others, but for the most part that is not true. Since we are considering the ridiculous unlikely scenario that I might be faced with saving my dog over a random stranger what about if you had to choose between a random stranger young person over your own elderly relative? Most ppl would choose their own relative. Understandably. I think what is wrong with the world (among other things) is ppl’s judgemental attitudes that the values they hold are the only values & no one else has a right to his/her set of values.[/QUOTE]I have pets, but I would never put them above a human life. To say that you would save your dog over another human being, I can't even imagine. I really can't.
I think this is one of the major things that is wrong with our world today. Some people don't value human life.
Yes, I love my cat, she is precious to me. But to save her before a human being? No, I couldn't do that. That other human being is someone's husband/wife, daughter/son, etc. I'm glad I value human life more than a pet's life. And I hope and pray most other people do the same.
