Yes you would and, therefore, yes it is.

Of course you know the building is about to collapse - it's listed right there in the question. It's what informed the answer of everyone answering this poll. If the question was "Your apartment is burning, which would you save first: baby or dog?" - that would imply a possibility of going back and saving the other, while still allowing for the risk that you might not have enough time to do both. In that case, going for the dog first is at least slightly more defensible.

Actually, it just said building collapses before you can run back in. But that doesnt mean we know its going to collapse.

Sure - and by the exact same logic the people going for their dog instead are basically saying that their own comfort takes precedence over the grief and anguish of a parent losing their child. Which is all kinds of fucked up.

The childs parents would also be dead... According to the question. Well, it says they are passed out. So, probably going to die in the fire. Well, very likely since the building is collapsing...

someone who is literally willing to put their own selfishness over one of the most helpless forms of human life there is,

If were still talking about this scenario, youd be risking your childs life to save this other child, as well...
