If you were given and choice, but saving everyone was not an option, who would you save? 125 people from a plane wreck, Your five best friends in a car crash. A baby from a dog attack. All three events happen at the exact some moment and you may only choose one.

I'd save my 5 best friends from the car crash.
Sorry if that sounds heartless, but it's true.
I don't know any of the other people, I know there are MORE of them, plus a innocent baby, but there is no way I could ever not save my friends for alot of people I don't even know.

So for you the good of the many does not outweigh the good of the few or the one.

Yes.
I couldn't let my friends die knowing there was some way I could save them no matter what has to happen.

I think I would go with 125 people from a plane wreck. Answer is very simple as those 5 friends have some say 100 relatives in total. We assume 20 for each. So, 100 relatives of them will get really upset. May be their kids in total are say some 15, 3 per head. So 15 kids are really going to suffer. But when compared to data for 125 people these 5 people's trgedy is less. some 2500 relatives , some 375 kids and their widows. I think my decision will be saving 125 people.
