Reply To: Saving a Relative's Life First

Yes, I asked a posek if a Kohen should be saved before a Yisroel and he said a Kohen is not saved first because they are only safek kohanim. I believe we have already had this talk. And for women, it only applies when everything else is exactly equal. And things are never exactly equal. So its not lemeisa. The poskim will find a way out of these things.
