What would you do?

You're swimming in a lake, and there is a kitten and a child drowning, and you can only rescue one of them. Somehow, you get a flash that the child will grow up to be a serial killer, or another Adolph Hitler. The kitten will be an ordinary kitten, who, if you rescue it, will live to be a great old age of 18 and will be a good companion for a single owner.

So....do you rescue the child, knowing its future, simply because rescuing a child is more important than rescuing an animal;

Do you rescue the child hoping that an intervention will prevent somehow the terrible future you saw;

Do you rescue the child because it's simply the right thing to do;

Do you rescue the child for some other reason;

Do you rescue the cat because you don't want that future to come true for the child;

Do you rescue the cat because it will be a better presence on the earth for its years;

Do you rescue the cat because you like animals better than children;

Do you rescue the cat simply because you feel there is no escaping destiny and the child must be stopped before all those terrible things happen;

Or do you make some other choice?

I put the panicked, wet, angry cat on the child's head.
