I would not hesitate to join the other rescue boat for many reasons. First off I am a very selfish person. I like to abide by the ideas of ‘survival of the fittest’ and ‘every man for himself’. In my everyday life I try to be as self sufficient as possible and rarely ask for help or give it. I have been told often that I am selfish but I do not see anything wrong with it.

Also drowning just doesn’t seem like a fun way to spend my afternoon. I’d rather take the option with 100% chance of survival over an option with a 99% chance of survival. You never know if you could be that
