How much would your moral compass slip in a life or death situation?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I am too honest to lie or sabotage, and too poor to resort to bribery, but spinning the truth isn’t exactly lying. I would make a case for the old couple staying off the chopper as they have already had more of a life than the others, and would toss either the the frat-boy and his SO or two of the employees a set of car keys and tell them to try and get the old couple away. In fact, employees may have a better chance at escape simply due to familiarity with the area. Regardless, I wouldn’t split the couple. That would keep all of the kids who haven’t had a chance to do much living yet with whatever parents they came to the island with while my wife and I also get seats.
