10 vs 1 on the rail tracks...I'd send it on the way of the 1.

10 vs me, selfishly I'd save me.

1 vs me I'd save me.

Simply put im selfish and don't want to die. I'd love to be able to say I'd play the hero but I don't think I would be able to. Now if the people who are at risk of death are loved ones then that changes the whole thing.
