The document presents a scenario where a group must choose which 10 people out of 12 candidates would be most beneficial to keep alive after being stranded in a cave. The group argues for keeping the doctor to care for medical needs, the university professor to educate future generations, the scientist to help with food production and testing environmental conditions, and the army officer for potential protection.

1. Bradley Harris
Explain who you think should live, and present your case to the rest of the group. Argue for their life
unless you want to sacrifice them for the others. Listen to the arguments from the rest of your group as
well, and challenge them to define their positions.
a. scientist
b. priest
c. married couple who are hippies and drug addicts
d. a single pregnant woman with a 5 year old girl
e. a army officer who has mental instability of some sort but is useful nonetheless
f. an elderly woman
g. a disabled person
h. lawyer
i. lazy welfare dependent
j. doctor
k. university professor
We kept the doctor in case there were future illnesses or accidents, the doctor could handle the
medical care. The university professor we chose to keep so that future generations could be educated.
We kept the scientist to help with the greenhouse and hopefully future endeavors to leave the cave, ie.,
testing the air and resources, The Army officer for protection, should it ever be needed.
