Let me pose a hypothetical scenario.
There are ten people on a desert island. There is sufficient food and water to keep eight of them alive until rescue.
If the food is shared equally then all will die.
The group consisted of a 40 year old male doctor, a mother of 29 and her two children, 6 and 3, one of the world's greatest scientists, a woman of 68, a very distinguished world famous musician of 51, a director of an effective humanitarian project, a philosopher of 30, and teenager with great intellectual promise.
What do you do?
