A. Most adults view human life as especially precious
B Her research suggests this shift starts by the age of 10
C. Surprisingly, children were more likely to save a dog over a person.
D. For comparison, the researchers repeated this with 17s Polish adults aged 18 to 50
E. As a result, they don't show a strong preference for saving one over the other, she says
F. About 28 per cent of children aged 5 to 9 said they would save a dog over a person, compared
with 8 per cent of adults
Young children value the lives of aninals more than adults do
If you had to save the life of a person or an animal, which would you choose? Most adults
say they would pick the person, but almost half of young children would prefer to save the animal.
according to a study in Poland
"The finding really surprised us," says Matti Wilks at the University of Edinburgh, UK. (92)
For example, a survey of millions of people in 233 countries, most of them in
their 20s and 30s, found they largely agreed that self-driving cars should crash into dogs or cats
instead of people if they had to choose
However, growing evidence suggests many young children feel differently. Using a toy
railway and Lego figures: Wilks and her colleagues presented 170 children aged 6 to 9 in an urban
part of Poland with scenarios based on a thought experiment called the trolley problem. The
children had to decide whether to direct a runaway rail car down one of two tracks so that it
crashed into a Lego person or a Lego animal - either a dog or chimpanzee. (93)
About 42 per cent of the children wanted to save the dog and make the rail car collide with
the person, compared with just 17 per cent of adults. About 28 per cent of children also prioritised
the chimpanzee over the person, compared with 11 per cent of adults.
"Children learn from their parents, teachers and others that it's really important to care for
others. but it may be easier for them to learn this as a blanket rule that applies to both humans and
animals," says Karri Neldner at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in
Germany. (94)__
"However, as they get older, they might pick up on cultural
narratives that tel us it's really important to care for other people," says Neldner
95)
When she asked Australian children aged 4 to 10 to order pictures
of people, animals, plants and objects according to how much they cared about them, the
4-year-olds tended to care more about dogs, cats and dolphins than about classmates, police
officers and sick people, but this was reversed in the 10-year-olds
The reason children value dogs so highly is probably due to familiarity, says Wilks. He
studies have found that children who spent more time with dogs were more likely to say they
would save a dog over a person.
