If both your mother and daughter are drowning in river, who would you rescue?

Hypothetically speaking, if one day you find your mom and your daughter both drowning at the same time in the river, and you can only rescue one of them while the other will die, who would you save? Someone asked me this before and my answer was my mom of course. But then I haven't any children yet. I am sure women with children out there will answer differently. Who would you rescue and why?

And if you didnt drowned,how could you live with yourself knowing you could have saved one of them?.

I can't answer this question. I don't have any children... but i know i wouldn't be able to choose between the two.

But then that means you would be letting both of them drowned. why let one die when you can save 1?

I would have to rescue my daughter - only because I know that even if I were to try to rescue my Mother she would tell me to save my daughter first.

If I rescued my mother and not my daughter, my mother would never forgive me.
It's a mother's thing to want to save your child. Not that I love my mother less, but I know in her heart, she would want me to save my child. In fact, we have had that talk once and that's what she said.
I worked for this man once who was asked, "If your mother and your wife were drowning, and you could only save one, who would you save?"
He said, "My mother, of course. I could always get another wife but I can't get another mother."
I am glad I was not married to him!
