You're a lone explorer in an uncharted area of the Amazonian Jungle. While on a trek one day, you stumble upon a village of tribal natives. They speak english, and greet you in warmly. It just so happens that you've come across them during a tribal ritual, in which they choose 8 members of their tribe to be sacrificed to their diety, to assure bountiful crops for the year round.
However, they have a condition, in which if somebody not from their tribe arrives during the week that the ceremony takes place, that person is given the option to choose one of the 8 to kill by their own hands; the other 7 will be saved.
The 8 tribal people facing death are
You are given 5 minutes to pick who you will kill, and when you decide, you must kill them with a spear without the aide of anybody else. If you fail to choose somebody to die, they will all be killed.
Can you go through with killing somebody? If you do, who do you pick and why?
