Well, I'd ask the blondes all to hand over their chewing gum and one credit card. Stick the chewing gum to the credit card and send the crew's best swimmer over the side to apply the patch to the outside of the hole in the hull. Then I'd put everyone to work bailing water with their shoes.

But for the moral decision, I'd ask for volunteers, then select a mutually agreeable method for random selection (short straws always work in the movies). I'd allow people to volunteer to replace any of the draw-ers of short straws.

No method of selection that isn't universally agreed upon would be moral.
