Name of Reason for leaving or staying Raft or

individual staying
Woman who For this women, we mainly decided to keep her Raft
thinks she is sixbecause we felt it was wrong to kill her due to
weeks pregnant the fact that she was carrying a baby. We also
thought that we were saving two people for the
price of one. One of the problems we had with
taking her was that she would need more food
and water on the raft which would be bad.
Overall, my partner and I had about the same
opinion about her.
Lifeguard This decision wasnt very had to make because Raft
both my partner and I thought he was a good
candidate. They could especially help with
health issues or any other problems that may
occur on the raft. This person would also be
trained in emergencies if we ever needed them.
young woman My partner and i also agreed quite a lot with Staying
who recently this one. I thought that the woman and man (if
married they are a woman and man) should stay
together because they are probably very inlove
and would do anything for each other. We
decided to not let them live because there
weren’t enough spaces but also because we
thought they could at least die with the person
they love, which would be a happier death than
the rest of these people.
young man who We had pretty much the same ideas for the Staying
recently married man, he should stay with his wife and their love
can live on in spirit.
Senior citizen This person was someone who we couldn’t Raft
who has fifteen agree on. I wanted the school teacher to live
grandchildren and my partner wanted the senior citizen. The
reason i wanted her to not go on the raft was
because I said that she had already done
everything she needed to do on this planet and
we should give another person a chance to live
and survive. I also said that they need more
care because they are getting old and their
bodies stop to function as well. From
experience from my granny, i thought they
would need more food and complain and
anything could harm they deeply. We decided
 to keep her because we had to compromise and
come up with a decision.
Elementary I wanted to keep the elementary school teacher Staying
school teacher and my partner didn’t. I felt that she was a
better choice compared to the senior citizen
because she was probably younger and because
we would have a better future due to the fact
that she educates people. My partner also said
that she didn’t matter because she was a kids
teacher and not a young adults teacher but then
I said that these kids needed to be guided into
the right direction to become respectable young
adults and this teacher could also be a child’s
role model and guided them to the path of
success. I felt she was worth saving.
Thirteen year My partner and I decided that we wanted to Raft
old twin 1 and 2 keep both of the twins together and would not Raft
separate them just like the newly married
couple. We also said that these kids are still
very young and they should have a chance to
live life because they barely saw any of it. We
also thought about the factor that they were so
young and alone and we mostly felt bad for
them because all they had was each other.
Veteran nurse We felt that if they had done a good job in the Raft
past, then they would be able to help if anyone
is drowning or not well. I also thought about
how she had serves such good service before
and it would almost be unethical to let her die
because she had sacrificed her life for others in
the past. She was also just very useful and had
the skills that we would need to survive.
Captain of the This one was very hard but i decided that the Staying
ship captain of the ship would die. Even though he
would probably be helpful on the raft, with
navigation and other boat related skill i felt he
didn’t deserve it. As a captain of a ship he
would know the risks of sinking and it could
happen to anyone but he decided to take the
risk as his job. By taking this job he has then
become in charge of everyones lives on the
boat and he needs to think of his passengers
before himself. He needs to save and help theirs
lives even if the sinking wasn’t his fault. He
lives and dies with his boat and i think that is
the most responsible and ethical thing to do.
Even if he would save himself and let other
passengers die, he would be shamed upon by
society. For example, in norway there was a
shooting on an island not far from the mainland
and it was a camp for young politicians. A lot
of kids died but not all of them did, most were
scared and hiding and just didn’t know how to
get off the island. The leader of the camp just
took the nearest speed boat and left to save
himself while leaving his responsibilities and
fellow students to die. He is now shamed upon
society because he did not do his job in
ensuring these kids safety.
