I would choose my father.

Hold on though. I have to explain this. I love both of my parents incredibly, and I would not want either of them to die. If I said I would try to get both of them, I would be commiting suicide,and that is not okay. Why my father and not my mother? Simply because my father is in better shape. My mother is shorter than my father, but my father is plain in GREAT shape, it would be easier and more practical in my distressed state to bring him out. Also, the turmoil of my father's death would not allow my mother to provide for herself and me, but my father, though he would be quite devistated, has the emotional stability to keep himself and me in reasonable shape.

This question does bring about some other intersting ideas though. I don't know how many of you have seen/read Sophie's Choice, but in it a mother is made to choose which of her children (one son and one daughter) will live and which will die. The mother chooses the son because of the quality of life he would later have. Sometimes one has to make choices based on later circumstances. There was nothing wrong with either of the children, just as there is nothing terribly wrong with either of my parents.

But, oh gosh, where do you come up with these questions? Then again, maybe I don't want to know.
