Your spouse/partner and your child are hanging over the side of a cliff, you can only save one?

Who would you save?

Your child? or your spouse?

As a 4 yr old i asked this question of my mother. I would like to know how other people respond to this question. Thank you for your time.

Update:

both is not an option....only one

    I would beyond any doubt save my child! I know neither my husband or myself could live with ourselves if we ever lost one of our children that way! I would expect for him to do the same! We are both parents and responsible for their safety and we are both willing to give up our lives without thinking twice to save our children!

    FYI: I would not jump after my husband after saving my child and leave him/her completely orphaned!

    That is a really hard question i would save both. Grab them at the same time. But only one would be the child. The child looks like the spouse and will grow up to mimic him and he has a long life ahead of him.

    best ans... i will save my child first cos as a parent i am responsible for his/her safety. then i will jump the cliff with my spouse if my spouse cannot be save. this is to fulfil my wedding vows. Till death do us part!

    it is a hard question.... i might might desire to accept as true with your mom, with the adaptation of i might perish with them. i like the two my little ones the two so i could no longer merely save one and not the different. yet i might might desire to pass with them.
