this is really for the married/parent types here, but you can all play along. nordgal and i have gone through the hypothetical, "If you were holding me and nordboy in each hand off the edge of a cliff, and you could only save one of us, who would it be?" nordgal and i both would easily choose our son...i mean, you can always get a new spouse, right?

but what if in one hand you had your spouse (who you love dearly), and in the other a young child you did not know?
who would you save?
