The FEMA For Kids homepage. Oh man. There’s a lot of note here, but make sure you check out the logo atop Mike Brown’s bio page. A brown-skinned child being chased down by a terrifying tidal wave. Nice work, guys. Very reassuring.
A, while driving B, a child of three, in a sleigh, is pursued by a pack of wolves which are rapidly closing upon him. To gain time A throws B to the wolves. The time consumed by the wolves in devouring B enables A to reach shelter a few seconds before the pack can reach him. A is subject to liability under a wrongful death statute for the death of B.
Do you agree that A should be held liable? What are the damages in the wolf case if there is a liabilty? Should the wolf example be decided differently if A’s action were taken to save the lives of seven others as well as his own?
