mistergoodnight: I would for old people children and the disabled.
You should have made this a poll. Would be interesting to see results. It is a difficult moral dilemma - who should survive and why? Rationally, the children and their mothers should go in the boat first, because children are the future and mothers are important to look after them, then men and then old and disabled. But if you are a relative of the old and disabled, you would not think so, would you?

I'd mug a disabled woman (she's hardly in a position to fight back) and steal her clothes and wheelchair to be sure of getting a place on the lifeboat!
