Who has had the greatest influence in your life? Why? Who else? (This ''who else'' threw me for a second, because I had considered who I would say for my greatest influence, but not really beyond that.)

Report Response | I was asked this too

You are a pediatric surgeon, and you have just had two different babies born who both have life-threatening heart defects. If neither of them get a transplant, they are both expected to die in the next 36 hours. The only difference between the two is that one is completely normal, while the other has Down Syndrome. You get a call saying that a baby has been born with no brain, but his other organs are in perfect shape. Thus, you only have one heart to give. As the doctor, you must decide who receives the heart. Tell me about your thought process in making this decision.
