Starting a New Civilization

A new war has just taken place! Soon, most of the world will be destroyed
by radiation. However, the delegates of the United Nations have just
learned that due to unusual patterns one small, uninhabited island 300
miles off the coast of Australia will not be completely destroyed. Scientists
think that the island's plants will be damaged, but the soil will not be
ruined.
Unfortunately, there is only time for one small airplane at an Australian
airport to make it to the island. Aside from the pilot, the plane can carry
only six people. But there are 10 people at the airport who want to get on
the airplane. As delegates of the UN, you have one hour to decide which six
of the following people will live, and which must die
Remember, that the six people you choose will have to start a new civilization.
