Abstract
The award-winning film “Titanic” released in 1997 once again brought to our attention the problems associated with the lifeboat ethic. Stunned audiences everywhere witnessed the chaos on board as, by design, one-third fewer lifeboats were available than for the passenger list. Violence erupted in the competition for a disputed spot; heroism and altruism also abounded. Additionally, viewers of the movie witnessed efforts to cheat and the power of money in having a secret lifeboat for the rich. (A first-class cabin on that cruise cost the equivalent of $75,000 per person in today's money.)
