So I was watching some Whitest Kids You Know when I came across this old sketch, and it made me think a little bit.
To summarize: by altering time they manage to stop 9/11 from occurring, but in doing so accidentally end up erasing Sam's sister from existence.
So, under the assumption that doing so will bring his sister back, do you think it's morally justified for them to "save 9/11"? Or is Sam's sister an acceptable sacrifice for the greater good?
Or perhaps the more interesting question is, what would you do in Sam's situation?
It's a difficult question (especially if, like me, you actually have a sibling) but would you sacrifice a close family member to prevent the biggest terrorist attack on U.S. soil from having occurred?
Also, do you think the fact that 9/11 has already happened is relevant to this decision?
Just food for thought.
