Nuculear Fallout
As the human race we stand strong as individuals, together, and for survival. In most recent events my team and I have been tested to the fullest max of survival for the fittest and have been forced to make strong decisions that test our minds, morality, values, and ethics as a human being. We are trapped in a fallout shelter and it is not safe for us to leave. Therefore, we are trapped in this shelter for at least six months. Luckily, we do have enough food, water, and other facilities to help our group during this time. However, we are still faced with a very difficult decision that none of us were prepared for. There are nine people in another shelter close by who have survived their provisions but it has become apparent that there is only enough water to keep four of the members of that group alive for six months. The other group has realized they are unable to make the decision on which four members they should get rid of and have asked us for their help. Since push has come to shove and our world of survival has been challenged we must make these decisions promptly and without question. The other team is similar to ours and consists of nine individuals: 1. A male carpenter, 25 years of age. 2. A male biologist, 50 years of age. 3. A female attorney, 40 years of age. 4. A male minister, 40 years of age. 5. A pregnant college student, 28 years of age. 6. A female college student, 18 years of age. 7. A male mental patient, 48 years of age. 8. A female child, 6 years of age. 9. A male physician, 72 years of age. I will admit these decisions were not easy and were difficult to make but were made as a team. With our morals, values, and ethics challenged to the fullest extent our decision is as follows: 1. The 25 year old carpenter (he is young, healthy, strong, and would be able to rebuild our community if needed). 2. The 50 year old male biologist (the biologist would be able to help pin point contaminated
