Ethics test:

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one.
Please don't answer it without giving it some serious thought.
By giving an honest answer you will be able to test where you stand
morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation, where you
will have to make a decision one way or the other.

Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous.
Please scroll down slowly and consider each line - this is important for
the test to work accurately.

You're in Florida...In Miami, to be exact...

There is great chaos going on around you, caused by a hurricane and
severe floods. There are huge masses of water all over you. You are a 
CNN photographer and you are in the middle of this great disaster. The 
situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot very impressive 
photos. There are houses and people floating around you, disappearing 
into the water. Nature is showing all its destroying power and is 
ripping everything away with it. Suddenly you see a man in the water, he 
is fighting for his life, trying not to be taken away by the masses of 
water and mud. You move closer. Somehow the man looks familiar.

Suddenly you know who it is - it's George W. Bush!

At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take him
away, forever. You have two options: you can save him or you can take 
the best photo of your life.

So you can save the life of George W. Bush, or you can shoot a Pulitzer
prize winning photo, a unique photo displaying the death of one of the
world's most powerful man. And here's the question (please give an 
honest answer):

Would you select color film, or rather go with the simplicity of classic
black and white?
