There are so many things that run through the human mind. In this blog I try to explore some of the topics that you might have not given any further introspection to because of other priorities. The ikr moment is when you agree with what I have to say in such an excited state that you find yourself in the ultimate state of utopic satisfaction.

The Priority Dilemma
Let’s construct a situation.
There is a raging virus
which affects people with only a certain type of gene present. There aren’t many
people in the world whom this disease would affect.
This virus has no known cure
and the person who contracts it dies within 2 days, although there is a vaccine
for this disease.
You happen to be an infinitely rich(monetarily)
doctor with 2 such patients who match the genetic criteria for being able to contract
the virus.
Mr. A.
He is 60 years old and has
a perfect health. It is confirmed that unless the virus affects him, he will
live till the age of 100. He has no children or family and does not do charity
or social work. He has never harmed anyone or ever committed any crime. He is basically
a nobody.
Mr. B
He is 90 years old. He too
has a perfect health and unless the virus catches him, will live till the age
of 100. He has no children or family and
does not do charity or social work. He has never harmed anyone or ever committed
any crime. He too is a nobody.
You have only one such
vaccine at the moment and you will get the second one after a week.
This is the only information
that you get.
Who will you give the
vaccine to first and why?
