The Morality Quiz

I took TIME Magazine’s Morality Quiz. It’s not what you think it might be. The quiz is a series of five questions and you choose between two options. There obviously are no right or wrong answers but you get to see your results compared to everyone else who has answered the quiz.

One of the questions:

It’s war time, and you’re hiding in a basement with a group of other people. Enemy soldiers are approaching outside and will be drawn to any sound. If you’re found, you’ll all be killed immediately. A baby hiding with you starts to cry loudly and cannot be stopped. Smothering it to death is the only way to silence it, saving the lives of everyone in the room. Assume that the parents of the baby are unknown and not present and there will be no penalty for killing the child. Could you be the one who smothered it if no one else would?
