Now you've changed the question. These are two absolutely COMPLETELY different questions.
No, because the basic issue in the scenario was a pet owner who has a choice...save a beloved pet or a stranger. You say you would save your pet before a stranger, because you think human life has no special value. You also admit however, that you would save a human loved one of yours over your pet.
So I asked...if I were the pet owner and YOUR loved one was the stranger would you prefer I saved MY pet or YOUR loved one. The only thing I have changed in the scenario is the PERSPECTIVE. Everything else remains the same. Either you or your loved one is the "stranger." How relative is the value of human life then?
