[quote]It isn't wrong. It's human nature.[/quote]I already addressed this. Your statement is a fallacy because you're brazenly implying that every aspect of "human nature" is automatically right. Obviously, that is absurd.
[quote]It's also an emotional dilemma, though. The logical response would be to save the human, the emotional response would be to save the pet. In high-stress situations, people will reflexively go for the emotional response. It's instinctive. Again, human nature.[/quote]I never said anything about it being a logical dilemma or an emotional one. I said it was an [i]ethical[/i] dilemma, and therefore must be assessed rationally, not emotionally, to reach the correct decision.
[quote]And you're trying to justify your opinion by saying 'it's only rational'.[/quote]...Yes, because either something makes sense ( rational ), or it doesn't ( irrational ). Please don't try these silly rhetorical games with me.
[quote]Saving your beloved pet's life in place of a stranger's is not an undesirable attribute. You can only save one, odds are it'll be the one you actually care about.[/quote] Again, that is empty rhetoric. You're placing irrational value in [i]your[/i] interests and devaluing the interests of others (namely, the stranger and their loved ones who will almost certainly accumulate a greater amount of suffering from their death than you would solely from losing your dog. ) If you think choosing an overall greater amount of suffering instead of a smaller amount is a [i]desirable[/i] human attribute, then I have little else to say.
