Cultural Bias?

"Save the women and children first" - Is this just a reflection of the test subjects chosen for the exercise? Do all peoples from all cultures express the same value judgements? Would people from India for instance choose to hit the person rather than the cow, given their reverence of the sacred animal?

This is a very tricky area for AI to navigate, research and discussion are important if we are going to trust these machines with our lives.
