A Moral Question

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Wild Wild West : One Thread

I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but I think it's fun to decide what one would do.

The situation: You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures destroyed.

Let's say that you're a photographer and getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.

You come across Osama Bin Laden who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under.

You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb.

So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the question below:






Which lens would you use?

I would go over and break the branch off just to be sure that he did get swept away, but then I wouldn't know for sure if he did die or not. Sorry if that is not the politically correct response, but you wanted the truth and the truth is, I am too angry to care for any arab or muslim right now.....
