I think for most of us here, the thought process isn't really there. If those who think they wouldn't run into the road to save animal, in the situation, might. I don't think the brain has time to process all the consequences...we see a life in danger, be it human, or animal, we are going to try to protect it. I don't know if I would same the same thing for humans in general, but knowing the value of lives to people here, I think it is the gut reaction.

And I guess I'm talking about cases where the driver of the car has time to see you and stop. I don't know if I would dive in at the last second, knowing I would be hit...but in the instant it happened, I might.
