Re: Old Philosophical Question
I seriously had a college class that all we did for the entire semester was debate this question and 4 others (most invovling different train catastrophes).
There is no "correct" answer, obviously the most survivalistic answer is to smother the baby.

This isn't true. People do not always do the "right" thing even when their lives are on the line. I would hope everyone would, but it's just not a fact people get themselves killed by failure to act all the time in all sorts of situations.
Personally I hate questions like this because there are so many other options, consider you're captured but wiling to do anything to attempt an escape later or some such, or what if you all burst out of the floor and fight before they can react to the baby etc....
