Ideally Everyone Is Equal...

...and no one person's life is anymore important than another?

Have any of you gone on a recruitment day or team building exercise where you have the one exercise regarding eight people all stuck down a mineshaft or something, all have good and bad points, and you can only rescue six?

Of course, having been all noble and said that we are all "equal", if someone gave me the choice of the lives of six of my friends, or six total strangers, then, if a decision really had to be made, then the six strangers would get the chop, no matter who they were, or where they came from.

If it was a choice between six strangers and my best friend-well, I think I'd still want to keep my best mate alive.

But thats an example of a faintly ludricous and unlikely scenario, but how many people would, in the same position, choose the same options?
