A small yacht carrying twelve passengers and a captain suddenly begins to sink far from the
shore of an uninhabited island. When it was discovered that the radio was dead, the captain
decided to have the passengers board the lifeboat for the distant island. A problem arose when
it was discovered that the lifeboat would hold only eight people; it would sink with nine. There
was only enough gas for the lifeboat to make one trip to this island. Therefore, four passengers
plus the captain had to remain behind for the sake of the survival of the others. Of the
passengers listed below, which four would you leave you behind and why? For all we know,
this party may never be rescued. Why did you choose to take the other eight?
a teenage girl a Black Lives Matter activist
a police officer a gay man
a 65-year old CEO a gymnast
a 55-year old female nurse a botanist
a pregnant woman a professional athlete
her husband a famous author
