Default Re: A Rape Hypothetical (silly, but also serious)

[ QUOTE ]
I really doubt there is going to be a nontrivial difference between the degree of damage infliced on the three people in OP, given they are being raped at gunpoint.

Well in the whole scheme of things, everything is irrelevant anyways. But if you look at the rape as something that has to occur, I think the next thing you care about is degree of harm between the 3 unique situations.

Consider yourself in the situation where you have to choose. I see myself thinking about it a little and making a decision based on the information available. I don't see many people just rolling a 3-sided die.

Like I said in the OP, I understand that the rape is so magnifying that it's tough to look past. But the hypothetical is meant mostly to provide some loose example for what I'm talking about in the end of the OP.
