But 100 would die.
So, what do you propose then? Dilemmas like this are useless because there is no satisfying solution to be found. Furthermore, there is no realistic outcome which doesn't result in everybody dying.
I'm just commentating and I know that any outcome would end with alot of people dying.
But what is it you want us to learn from this? No amount of thinking will produce a true solution or enable us to draw any lessons from it, so what's the point? There is nothing to be gained from this dilemma.

Don't do drugs, fasten your seatbelt and don't call your boat Titanic and say it's unsinkable... There's probably an iceberg somewhere saying "Challenge accepted"
I would get off the boat and see how many people I could drown before I drowned myself

Speaking of alias, where is he? He hasn't been online for like...6 hours!
Fourth option. I'd rather die than somebody else.

Who said I was seeking a solution? I'm just trying to see how people would in theory act in a situation like this. How they would act morally.
I'd rather give up my seat than have to smash the heads and limbs on those trying to get aboard.

Enjoy being dead.

We need to think like Batman, he'd come up with an option that saved everyone.
Then we can be like Batman.
