Which dilemmas?

The dilemma from the mouseover text is easy: if you can save the lives of ten persons by harvesting the organs from one healthy person, it is ethically imperative to do so? I'm still struggling to understand the dilemma from the main panel. 181.214.218.51 (talk) 14:22, 14 November 2024‎ (EST)

The classic dilemma is "If you could save the Mona Lisa or an old man from a burning building, which would you save?" The SMBC version is "Would you set old men on fire to get new priceless paintings?", which of course, is frickin' awesome. TinyPonies (talk) 18:53, 14 November 2024 (EST)
