There wouldn't be enough time to think it through and make a decision. So my instincts would take over.

Question is, which instinct would be stronger? My survival instinct to stay put, or my maternal instinct to save a child in danger?

Impossible to say...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
