This isn't really a surprise - its programmed into us as part of the survival instinct. Not necessarily for ourselves but for our genes.
Its been termed 'the selfish gene' - if there's someone we love theres a good chance they carry some of the same genetic code as ourselves because we are related. Or, there's a chance that will happen in the future through children.
There's lots of research been done into the behaviour of people based on genetic relationships; the closer someone is related to you the more you will do or risk for that person, your children being the best example of survival of your gene line.
Its an impossible situation, there is no right answer and in the end instinct is likely to overcome rationalising the choice anyway.
Misschief. That's a harrowing nightmare, I've had similar ones involving my children too, they are extremely upsetting and disturbing :therethere:

Kill the 100 strangers ... it's one of those hypothetical questions you find in tests that have no right answer as both choices are pretty shitty, designed within the context of the test to try and get an indication of how you approach difficult situations.

I agree that it's no surprise. But at the end of the day it's not much good as a survival instinct, is it? It's the reason that wars start and take so long to fizzle out, and unless we evolve beyond it, its end result is the death of our species.

You may well be right, but I like to take a more positive view. The very fact that we have this discussion, and that we do wrestle with this sort of issue, is a sign of hope.
But the point I was making is that the selfish gene theory is about ensuring your own genes have a better chance of survival than someone elses. Survival instinct only really applies to the individual, its not a species imperative. For example, there are no real winners in war, there are survivors.
So though I don't disagree with you, I think that over-population is a greater threat to the species than war is. And often war is caused by the friction caused by a population's environment no longer being able to sustain the number of individuals in it.
