So you are saying that you think it's more about saving the greatest number of lives, than preventing the greatest amount of suffering? If I understand you correctly.
I don't think I'd ever be able to make these decisions though. Although I do find them to be interesting moral dilemmas to think about..and I'd HOPE to be able to make a right decision. I just don't think that I'd necessarily have any way of being even more LIKELY on the right track.
Because I just find the whole, as I phrased it above; 'saving the greatest number of lives' Vs 'preventing the greatest amount of suffering' to be extremely difficult.
Who am I to decide?
I just find it an interesting discussion over what I think to be an important (whether it's a decision possible to truly manage or not) moral dilemma(s), anyway.
Hmm.
Thoughts?
