Okay, okay, I know I've got zombies on the brain again, but here goes:

In a recent episode of The Walking Dead there was a kind of Heinz dilemma.
 I don't think you need to have watched the show.  It went like this:

A boy is dying of a gunshot wound and he needs medication to survive.

Two men get into a car and head off to get the medication.  The medication
is in area containing zombies.

They find the medication and are running back to the car, but zombies are
in pursuit and closing in on them.  It doesn't look like they'll make it
to the car in time.  Do you:

a) shoot the guy who is with you in the leg, take the medication from him
and let the zombies attack him while you make it to the car, or

b) keep running and hope you both make it to the car.

The character in the episode did letter a.  It was a powerful episode
which revealed a lot about the character of the guy who shot the other guy
in the leg.  It was a difficult decision, but he feels that it's about
survival.  Still, it made you wonder what you would do if you were in a
similar circumstance.  Although I suppose it's unlikely you would ever be
pursued by zombies...
