Joe/Health – Redleg has an interesting point. We know the Halacha when you have two people drowning, that you save one (Kohen, Talmid Chacham, male, etc.) first. It is logical that the dynamic/halachic considerations changes when looking at a much broader scale (ex. Inquisition) or when there is no Vadai that the unsaved will die. If the child will Vadai die without being saved, and there is a 25% chance that the male will survive without help, should you save the male anyway?
