You and a person you love deeply are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. You know that you will both be killed unless one of you presses your button before 60 minutes pass; furthermore, the first to press the button will save the other person, but will immediately be killed. What do you think you would do?
I'd press the button first, get it over with, there's no way I'd be able to live with myself if I didn't do everything I could to save the other, and I wouldn't know when or if they would press it, so as fast as possible is best. I'd be killed immediately so at least it wouldn't be a slow drawn out death, I could come to terms with that.
