A. I would save 100 people now by hurrying the waste as there are high chances that technology will be advanced after a decade and we might be able to save thousands of people in the future too. I will be working to save thousands of people in the future by contributing to research.
B. I’d still be excited as even if it’s about someone who isn’t born yet I’d still be able to save them.
The exercise purposefully asks us to ignore any “loopholes”, and focus on the dilemma of either saving 100 people now or saving >1000 in the future. What would you choose being these the only 2 choices? What you suggest opens the door to saving everyone, however, the exercise doesn´t include this third option.
Well then, it’s truly really hard to choose. Anyone who thinks rationally would go with the option which offers saving more lives but I personally think that the choice of saving 100 people now is still better. We should be open to all possibilities. What I’m going to say now might sound foolish but if we can’t find any good solutions by that time we can always dig that waste out (Which isn’t possible ik) 👀
