What if the burning building was an orphanage?I would save the baby and keep it as my own. Anyone who leaves a baby in a burning building does not deserve to be a parent.
What if the parent was already dead inside from trying to save the baby?

Sorry I should have clarified general you in my post. It wasn't directed at you specifically but people as a whole.It wasn't about them seeing our motivation to be parents, it was them seeing the value of life and courage. If you set an example that you don't care for others (as a parent) then the child will see that as the normal behavior. If the parent is seen as some kind of coward then the child will lose respect for them as a person. Children learn by example, not just words.
It was not about my needs or feeling. What possibly could I gain from running my ass into a burning building other than personal harm to myself.
Granted, that part of the post was really secondary, to actually helping a baby that was in need.
That's what I was saying.
We had to watch Watership down and write a report on it in elementary school. I never had the desire to read the book after that.Wait, so people don't read the books before seeing the screen versions?

Contact the proper authorities; I'm not qualified for this.A building is on fire and as you stand watching the flames engulf the building, you hear a baby crying. What would you do?
I might save ten babies from a burning building, or only six. Depends on my mood at that moment.

The fact everyone is overlooking the obvious is maddening.
The question poses two outcomes. You either save the baby or you do not. It's "would you." There's no suggestion of trying or failiing only "would you."
So either you do save the baby or you ignore the baby and let it die. In this scenario who would honestly let the baby die.
Make the question more interesting like, "A baby is crying and you have a 50 % chance of either saving the baby and yourself or a 50% chance of attempting to save the baby and dying with it in the process." Would you try.....
Stop it, you could get hurt.Yes, I would absolutely. Life is precious. I would regret it if I wouldn't do anything.
