The Viper Pit
 
You, your closest friend and the parent you are closest to, are on vacation together, hiking in a remote jungle. Your two companions stumble into a nest of poisonous vipers and are bitten repeatedly. You know neither will live without an immediate shot of anti-venom, yet there is only a single dose of anti-venom and it is in your pocket.

What would you do?

I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that I didn't do something to try to save both lives, so somehow I'd try to "split" the antidote between the two, injecting my mom first, then my friend. Even if both ended up dying, I'd know that I would have done all I could to save both of them.

I really don't think that my mom would take the antidote. I love her and my boyfriend very much, so I too would want to split the amount that I had. However, my mom would probably want me to give it to my boyfriend since he is younger and hasn't yet lived most of his life. Maybe she'd go for the split idea, but she definitely wouldn't take it all.

*Question* Do you think that splitting the antidote would semi-perserve both people until help could be found, or do you think that it would be insufficient for either person? I don't know anything about poison, so I'm not sure if this would work or just kill both of them.

I hate to sound cold but if it came down to moms and a friend for the anti-venom, then friend is probably about to go "paws up" cause moms is getting the anti-venom. Now if it was mom and spouse, it's another matter. We're probably all about to check outta here cause I'd split it up, feed both of them the anti-venom, and use my last strength to carry both of them to safety.

...actually I'd figure everything would be ok if I could just make it to the commercial break; cause everthing's better when you get back from a commercial. :p

That's an easy one. My parent, the person who gave me life would get it.

Mom would get the venom. the best friend would understand.

Naw spliting it won't work. If you split it they both will succumb to the Viper's poison.

I'd give the anti-venom to my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Naw just kidding I'd give it to my Mom and if it were both parents I'd give it to my Mom, sorry Dad!
