I agree. The two senarios are different, for me personally. The second would be an easier call. I would owe that person the very best treatment possible. Even if he were a guaranteed match for all 6, I'd still have to save him. I think the interesting part is when do the numbers change your moral stance? 6 is not enough, but what if it were 60? Then I would toss my professional morals and save the 60.
Funny how right or wrong seem to change in my mind as the numbers change. At what point do the needs of one outweigh the needs of the many? (The Star Trek thing was just begging to be used)
This is headed toward an even bigger question that is pertinent to today's headlines, but I won't go there for fear of all hell breaking loose.
All the above represents only my personal views, not anyone elses.
