Lifeboat ethics: Who should be saved in the event of an asteroid impact?
Posted on 2/2/22 at 7:17 pm

Scenario: Asteroid on a collision course with Earth is discovered. World leaders have just enough lead time to build an underground bunker that will survive the impact and provide shelter long enough to survive the impact winter.
But since the space will be finite, it can only shelter 1,000,000 people.
A) Do you prioritize certain professionals over others?
B) Do you exclude the elderly and infirm from the shelter?
Or)
C) Do you do a completely randomized lottery?

I fish out my rifles that fell in to the lake in a tragic boating accident, and adjust accordingly.

I’m volunteering for the fireworks anyway. Should be a spectacular sight.

Why is it always an unsurvivable winter? What about impact summer?

It will come down to who is most willing and able to kill vast amounts of other people.

I can guarantee that 99.99% of the posters on this site would not be included.

Well, he’d be the only man alive within a day, so that goes without saying.

Honestly leave me here to get asteroided. Living with whatever million were chosen would probably be miserable.
