listed below:-

1. A widow having 4 young children who are going to school.

She is the only earning person in the house .No other is
there to support her.
2. A young heart specialist who is world famous for his
knowledge for heart diseases and he is having that
knowledge that no other doctor has.
3. A great historian who has vast knowledge of history and has
discovered great facts of history which no one in the world
has discovered. He is preparing documents for his
discoveries to be given to the government.
4. A young boy who is born genius. His brain is having extra
ordinary powers. He can do any work allotted to him.
5. A great and pure politician who is having good hold on the
public and is ready to change the structure of the country by
his good deeds. He is a great leader always working for the
betterment of the general people.

The accident took place near a village which is having a small hospital. The
problem is that all the above listed are in need of oxygen and there is only 1
oxygen cylinder and only 1 from all the above 5 can be saved. The physical
condition of all the above 5 is equal. And whoever gets the cylinder will
survive and rest will die.

The matter is if you are the manager in-charge of the hospital and decision is
in your hands to whom you will give the oxygen bottle.

Give strong points to support your answer and justify why you have not
selected the other 4.
