Well, in China they ask this trolley problem.
If you were a son, would you save your mother or your gf?
The "correct answer" is your mother.
"China's ministry of justice later posted the "correct" answer: exam writers are duty-bound to save their mothers. It would be a "crime of non-action" to choose romantic love over filial duty. "
