Would you save 10 million people?
Here is the conundrum: You have the ability to save 10 miilion people by giving up your own in that pursuit. The catch is no one will ever know it. Would you do it?
The second choice is, given the same set circumstances, would you still save them if it meant giving up your own life, and going down in history as being a mass murderer and traitor? |

What is the point of hypothetical questions like this one?

As long as I didn't know them, why would I save 10 million people for any reason? The world's overpopulated as it is.

I don't care that much about how I'm remembered, and while I do care about my life, I don't see anything special enough about it to sacrifice 10 million people. |
