# Apocalypse Group Discussion

**Summary:** \
A thought-provoking ethical decision-making exercise where participants must choose which 6 out of 13 astronauts should survive on the International Space Station after a catastrophic event on Earth.

**Purpose:** \
To stimulate critical thinking about ethical dilemmas, decision-making under pressure, and the complex factors involved in ensuring human survival and species continuation.

**How:** \
Participants are presented with detailed profiles of 13 individuals on the ISS and must collaboratively decide which 6 should survive based on limited resources. The decision must be made considering the potential for repopulating Earth.
