I would save the child. The oldest has had the chance to live atleast half of a life and if I choose him then he would most likely fall into depression due to his family dying and there is a 50% chance he would commit suicide. The ten year old will most likely be traumatized and will have problems with their personality (or mental state) due to seeing their family die at such a young age and most likely wouldn't live a happy life completely because of the insident. The child will not go through either due to it not knowing the family so well and not being old enough to have grown attached to the family 100% or become traumatized,the baby will have more of a chance at a normal life than the rest of the kids.
That's just stupid; the 17 year old has not had the chance to live "atleast half of a life" and Plenty of people go through traumatic experiences, without killing themselves, so there's not "a 50% chance he would commit suicide."
You know what? It's a good question. Remove her/him from the equation - that leaves two. I save one, (s)he saves one. Everyone is saved. I like your thinking on this one. Mathematically, it's kind of beautiful. And I wish I'd thought of it myself. :P
Who would you save?

That's a good answer, by the way. I didn't think about that side of it.
