The document summarizes an assignment where the author's group had to choose 4 people from a list of 13 that would help re-establish society after an avian flu pandemic wiped out most of the world's population. They chose a female scientist, a male doctor, a 5-year-old girl, and the husband from a married hippie couple. The author notes they did not have solid logic for picking the 5-year-old or hippie husband. They selected the scientist and doctor for obvious reasons like their ability to help recreate society, while the author initially wanted to choose one person from the hippie couple to help grow food in the greenhouse.
