Would you put the lives of the many over the lives of the few?

Why or why wouldn't you?

Yes/ It depends...

Side Score: 2
VS.

Never

Side Score: 2

Honestly? It would depend on who the few were.

If this is a purely academic question, and I don't have any ties with either the many or the few, I would tend to favor the many.

If the few would include those near and dear to me, well... call me selfish if you want, but I'd be willing to sacrifice many, many strangers for the sake of those close to me.

Side: Yes/ It depends...

Just to up the ante, what if it was the fate of the entire human race, vs maybe a sort of close relative that you get along well with?

In that case, I'd have to go with the entire human race. After all, survival is not the only concern- what sort of life is my relative going to have if he or she is completely alone?

Not if me or my family were among the few.

Side: Never

I don't believe in that principle. Every life is valuable and no life should ever be sacrificed.

Side: Never
