During a nighttime flood evacuation, a barangay rescue team with a nurse on board has one remaining seat in the rescue boat. Rising waters are expected to fully submerge the area within minutes. The team must choose only one person to evacuate immediately: An infant (4 months old) with mild hypothermia, crying but responsive; An elderly woman (82 years old) with shortness of breath and limited mobility; Two adults who are physically able but insist that they should be rescued first.
