In this hypothetical situation, you don't have enough time to stop. 65 mph down the hwy, 30 yards in front of you. One of you has to go. Who's it gonna be?

Or we can go back to the other example... You would let your child suffer and die from a heart condition instead of giving them a chance to survive, and all that's needed is the life of a single pig. Keep in mind, pigs live about 15-20 and people live generally 65+ years. So point blank, would you trade your kid's life for that of a pig's?
