A Moral Dilemma

This is an imaginary situation, but it may be interesting deciding what you would do.

The situation:

You are in the Northwest of WA, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes lost, water supplies compromised, and infrastructure destroyed.

Let's say you're a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, travelling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.

If you were to stumble across John Howard struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you had a choice of rescuing him or getting a Walkley prize-winning photograph of the death of a Prime Minister.
