You accidentally discover an invention that can immediately help millions of people; but only if you act immediately. On the other hand, if you just wait three months, you can secure a patent and get rich. Which do you choose and why?

I would chose to act immediately. I could save thousands of lives in the time it would take to receive a patent. Wealth is much less important than saving lives. Waiting three months and

becoming rich would be a very selfish and greedy thing to do in my opinion. By choosing to waste three months, you are putting your greed over other people's lives, which is not acceptable. Acti

ng immediately would be the smart thing to do, and it would be better for all of society.
