Ethical question

[pericat]

You are driving along a road on a horrible wet and windy night and you see 3 people waiting at a bus stop 1 - an old lady who is dying 2 - an old friend who saved your life once and 3 - the man/woman of your dreams - you can only take one person who would you give a lift to ? There is a perfect answer to this!

[B00]

None of 'em, they can all bu88er off, the very least they'll do is drip all over your car, and the worst is that they are all mad axe men (or women).

[weeal]

ok at least one of them doesnt exist

[cazzz1975]

the ethics would suggest you tried to get help for the dying woman, you would say hi to your old friend and give the old friend and the person of your dreams your number

[Androcles]

Typical - and you a bus driver!

[eash]

How do you know the old lady is dying? Does she have a sign round her neck that says "I'm dying" or is she literally bleeding all over the place and that's how you know??

Hand the keys to your friend, ask him to take the old lady to the cemetery (or wherever), and walk off with the person of your dreams. Sorted.

[cazzz1975]

how do you know that you are the person of your dreams, person of their dreams?

[whifffey]

I was just going to ask that, it's a potential bummer.

[cazzz1975]

drive past all of them showering them in standing water would be a safe bet

[China Doll]

I can't drive, problem solved.

[stewey]

The person "of your dreams". Since your old friend is already into saving lifes, he/she will look after the old woman.

[hippyhoppy]

I think I know this... You give the car keys to your mate and ask him to take the oldlady to hospital.. then you ****** off with the person of your dreams... (who in my case would be Johnny Depp!!)

[pericat]

A tub of ice cream to jno for being the first to give the perfect solution and BOO go read your bible - (the section about the good Samaritan) LOL

[cazzz1975]

the old friend would not be insured to drive the car pericat....

[B00]

Hey now!

Least I wasn't going to shower them in a puddle like Cazzz!

sulks

[stewey]

But is you give the keys to someone else, YOU are not giving anybody a lift.

[stewey]

'If" not "is".

[pericat]

Ok I'll give you that one BOO - cazz read the bible and my old friend has insurance that covers him/her to drive all cars - now off and find that parable about the good Samaritan

[cazzz1975]

exactly stewey, lets continue to find fault with all of this..!

[pericat]

Stewey - I am now going to shoot myself in the head
