Unne, I agreed with just about everything you said in your last post (except for minor points which are either too small to be worth discussing further, or things we can agree to disagree on). Thank you for a refreshing and invigorating discussion. Having been raised in a liberal household, and having created one of my own when I was old enough to, it's a pleasant change to hear respectful disagreement of the ideals that I usually take for granted as "logical".
Ya know, the more I think about this, the more it bothers me. I originally interpreted it to mean "I would hesitate for a moment, in which I would be sad that the puppy was going to die, but then of course my brain would kick in and I would rush to save the human baby.". Is this not what you meant?I would not automatically save the baby first.
