Well... these scenarios are very.. cough I don't know. Any-who, I would save the child. Sure that means more people die, but they lived their life. Children are young and have so much they could do in the future. Besides, if I were the father, I don't know how I could go on knowing I practically killed my own child. Side: Save the child

What? Save the people. Why would you choose one child over an entire train full of people? Some may be good or bad, but I am assuming there is more good in an entire train fulk of people than one child. EDIT: I didn't read properly. I did not know it was his child. In that case, I can't say I would blame him for saving his child. I still think saving the people is the better option, but I, and many others, would understand. Side: Save the people in the train
