There is logic, emotion, "right", "wrong", and every other preconcieved notion out there.
I am posting an ordeal where one chooses between absolute logic and emotion. Stick to the story, make your choice, and explain why.

Let us say you and your mother were lost in the frozen barren woods. You had kindling, a lighter, a knife, rocks, and little hope. Your mother was slowly succumbing to the atmosphere and neither of you had food. (Here we go) Would you kill your mother and survie through cannibalism because absolute logic dictates that you must do so to survive? Or would you let her be because you love her and would rather starve?

That is all. I'm trying to illuminate why absolute logic cares not for morality or emotions. I am showing why emotions are an important and credible aspect in argumentation. There is no other alternatives in this story. It must be a hard choice with deep reasons.
What are your thoughts and, more importantly, what would you do?
