This is an often asked question. Supposing your wife, your son and your daughter are drowning and you can only save one of them. Who would you save?

logically, it would be my wife. because if i lost my wife and had to live with my child it would be hell for him

Flipped the question about, this relates to my husband, my son and my daughter instead (although all are complete fictional!) Although I don't think I'd stop after the first. So perhaps who first would be a more important question. I think I'd go for the furthest away from me, I'd save the last one quickest then because I wouldn't have to swim as far!

My son for sure. I'm single so that explains why it was so easy for me to answer. =)

This question is so heartwrenching. I just hope I never have to make this choice. But it would defintetly be one of my children. As for which one I can honestly say whichever one I can reach the fastest.

I would probably die trying to save them all because I could not possibly live knowing I let one of them die. But in reality I would try to save whoever is closest to me if I couldn't get to them all and then live a tortured life without the rest of my family (and cherish the one I did manage to save). The whole idea brings tears to my eyes, just thinking about it.
