WHO WILL SURVIVE?

THE WATER DILEMMA

• Imagine two hikers are hiking in the woods and they're parched
• They know that farther on there is a town that can help them
• One rabbi said that that both hikers should share the water and die
• Better that both die than have one person watch someone else die

MORE PROBLEMS WITH WATER

• Other rabbi says that one person should drink water and live
• Lets other person die
• Better to let one die and not both
• Letting both die is waste of human life
• Person who owns water decides who gets to drink it

ONE, OR EVERYONE?

• Group of people must give up one person or they will all die
• Person given up will be killed
• Do the needs of the few out weigh the needs of the many?

FEW VS. MANY CONTINUED

• Opinion 1: give up one person to save everyone
• Condition 1: person must Be guilty of capital crime
• Condition 2: person must be asked for specifically

MORE ONE OR NONE

• Opinion 2: give up no one and everyone dies
• Better that everyone dies than give up one person
• Letting one person die symbolically kills your humanity
• Better die human than to live as a monster
