As Woody Allen said when posing a similar question, I think in film 'Manhattan', " I can't swim so obviously the question doesn't apply to me". So I'd take the picture. In colour!

Are you as moral as you think you are?
(Please don't anybody go off on one because they have taken it literally )
This test has only one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally. The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Only you will know the results, so remember that your answer needs to be honest.
THE SITUATION:
You are in Florida; Miami, to be specific. There is chaos all around you, caused by a hurricane with severe flooding; in fact,a flood of Biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you are caught in the middle of this epic disaster. You are trying to shoot career-making photos.
The situation is nearly hopeless. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.
THE TEST:
Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken down with the debris.
You move closer. Somehow, the man looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is: Donald Trump.
At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him under forever.
YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:
You can save the life of Donald Trump,
or
You can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of the world's most powerful man, hell-bent on the destruction of the USA.
THE QUESTION:
Please give an honest answer.
Would you select high contrast color film,
or
Would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?
Haha
and re(a)d all over!
The old ones are the best
MawBroon thank you so much for this post. The whole thread has been so funny!
And use black and white
I do think some of you seem to be rather po-faced when faced with an alternative to the original question. Hey ho...
Wouldn't bother me Ana or black, Muslim, Scottish or any other group you may think of hmds - but then I have a fairly well developed sense of what is fantasy and what is reality.
Sorry mawbroom I really enjoyed your post but as always....... What can you do 
?
I'd shoot it in colour then Photoshop it into Black and White to see what it looked like. Is that enough sitting on the fence for you?
