I want your opinion on the following scenario.
Lets assume there was a completely disabled human being who needs major help through all daily activities.
This human being is under the following condition:
If you are an atheist, can you give me a reason (other than legal issues) of why this person should not be killed as to free more resources (money, time, hospital space, etc) for the rest of the community?
- He/she has no job whatsoever
- He/she has zero friends and zero family members
I don't know about the situation well enough to give you an answer. I could make some assumptions. They're completely disabled so I assume they can't think properly, they're on breathing apparatus, they're given fluids through a drip and so on, if this is permanent then maybe it's wise to turn the machines off supporting that person and they die.
If the person is not that disabled then keeping them alive would be great for the community. Communities thrive on empathy, good will, virtue. There's no reason to put someone through the trauma of killing someone who they don't even know that well.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
