Tough decision:A moral question for you to ponder. This is an imaginary situation, but it is fun to think about what you would do...
The situation:
You are in the midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and infrastructures destroyed. Let's say that you're a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.
You come across Bill Clinton, who has been swept away by the floodwaters.
He is barely hanging onto a tree limb and is about to go under.
You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb.
So, here's the dilemma, and think carefully before you answer.
