Best Answer

Many kids and women were not dead on Titanic because of an Edwardian code of chivalry.This code,which was not universal in the world at the time, gave preference to women-and-children.

But in the evacuation of Titanic, there were different degrees. Murdochs policy was 'women and children first'. Lightoller's was 'women and children ONLY'.
