Would I save the Violinist/Star/Ross????

If i had a choice, i'd save the person, because if you think about it 9 months, through terribly inconvenient, isn't life threatening, and you can save him just by staying there and watching the t.v, playing video games, etc. You also get the excuse to not do any work for school or have any responsibilities except to make sure that they stay alive. Plus, in the end you can ask for money or benefits so that you get something out of it with the capitalistic idea in mind =D. And as for the ethical question of is one life ever more important than the other, the answer is no. Just because they have done something that benefit the entire society, he/she is ultimately no better, they are just as much vulnerable to death and emotions, and whatever else that makes us humans, as the rest of us.

Overall, I agree with your decision, however I think that we had to reason with this issue with less emotional appeal, but more reasoning behind it.

You’re a commie. Looking out for someone other than yourself will never pay back in the long run. You have lost 9 months of your life for someone you barely know. We can argue back and forth if it was worth it, but the most important question is, would a stranger do the same for you?
Sorry for being a duche
