The Declaration of Independence or someone's life?

Asked by shrubbery (10326points) July 3rd, 2008

Ok so we see this in movies; a “priceless” artifact of history or someones life. Eg, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The girl or the Holy Grail? Or Indy’s own life for the holy grail? Apparently “it’s not worth it” and a human life is worth so much more. But if you were faced with the dilemma, of choosing between [insert artifact here you think is most valuable/important] or someones life, which would you choose? If it was a stranger? Or someone you knew/loved? Some examples of artifacts would be The Declaration of Independence, if there really was a Holy Grail, or the Ark of the Covenant, the teracotta soldiers, even something like the Ancient Pyramids of Giza. Choose the artifact that you think is worth the most in the world, and then see if you can decide. If you can’t, that’s fine, this is purely hypothetical, I’m just curious.
