Dilemma 1/2/09

You have the magical power to stop one and only one of the following two scenarios. Which would you prevent?

  1. Your favorite movie star drives drunk and dies in a car accident that involves no other people.
  2. Your closest loved one breaks a leg and an arm.

This is an interesting one compared to yesterday's.

Today, I think I'm preventing the death. I know that my closest loved one has been through more than a double break. He could still work and those can heal. Plus there would be two of us to take care of the things we need to take care of.

I do have a strong feeling that this is going to be the fate of my favorite movie star though.

Same as previous. I would still prevent the death. Nothing to do w/ who the person is; the issue for me is that I've been given the power to prevent a death (albeit w/ some non-life-threatening consequences) and I'd feel terribly guilty if I didn't exercise that power.
