The document discusses which four survivors from a group would be chosen to remain after an outbreak that would cause the others to die. The author chose to keep a female doctor to help find a cure, treat injuries, and assist with childbirth. A married couple of hippies were selected to help with repopulation and growing food in a greenhouse. A male college professor was also chosen to share his knowledge and experiences with the others and future generations. These four survivors were picked because they would be most helpful in meeting the essential needs of the people in the short and long term.

Survivor
In the case of an outbreak of disease, where only four survivors of the group could be
kept while the others had to venture out and would eventually die, I chose to keep the doctor, the
hippies, and the college professor. The doctor would be female and would be useful with finding
a cure, helping with injuries, and aiding in birth. The hippies, husband and wife, could be helpful
with repopulation and gardening for growing food in the greenhouse. The college professor
would be male and would be helpful with sharing his experiences and talents with the others and
his knowledge with future people. The other people in the group would be helpful in any way to
this survival, but I chose the ones that would be most helpful with the essential needs of the
people then and years to come.
