what would you do?
This interesting question was asked to uni students, but i wanna see wot ur answer is...
ur a german concentration camp guard. u understand that wot ur doin is wrong and feel bad about it. Therefore u help 10 prisoners escape, these include men, women and children. u managed to pass all but one other guard. once u've pass the final guard u and the prisoners are free. however, before u pass the final guard a baby prisoner starts crying. so ur choices are either let the baby cry and u all get caught and shot or kill the baby, succesfully pass the final guard and u plus 9 prisoners are free.

Re: what would you do?
call the A-Team i hear they are pretty good when your desperate and no body to help you.
ps:
wouldnt the gunshot if you decided to quieten the baby attact attention anyway making the shooting of teh baby pointless ?
pretty sure scilencers wernt standard issue back then or if they even existed

Not applicable.
I'd be a prisoner.

Re: what would you do?
you take your coursework in late and teh teacher is just about to leave the room and refuses to let you hand it in
do you
a: accept this and learn to hand in on time
b: shoot him and place your course work halfway down the pile so it appears you wernt the last person to see him alive and sneak out the window

Re: what would you do?
Wouldn't the gunshot alert the prison guard anyway?

Could you put the baby in the boat, with the fox and the chicken?

First of all I would enroll at a university that taught English.

Re: what would you do?
It's easy, you steal Steve McQueen's Motorcycle and jump the fence, no matter how many times he tries, I have yet to see him succeed yet.
Why don't you enrol on a course that will teach you how to write English correctly, instead of this stupid Newspeak, with apologies to Orwell.

Re: what would you do?
Ok, sensible answer - this is a 'needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one' question. Is it better to let one person (baby) die for the good of the tribe?
Logically, the answer is 'yes' nine people plus the guard escaping and surviving is better than 10 people plus the guard being shot or imprisoned.
However, morally the answer is 'no' because to do that needs an intervention - i.e. killing the baby.
So your question is logic vs morals.
For me, personally, morals would win.
