On morality: Death vs extreme suffering
#12
RE: On morality: Death vs extreme suffering
Yeah. It's all very vague. And it depends on the person - and you can of course still be a very good person and give a different answer TO - another very good person.

Why? Well, I think - because these questions are so difficult. I think that's why. I mean even when you are very confident - you still have to accept you could be wrong - because how do you measure this?

And it's not good to be very confident over such decisions I think - because there is a great penalty if you are wrong - and the confidence would make you act out what would then turn out to be the wrong decision. Which wouldn't be good.

It's all very vague and messy. It's tough. Even if it was practically impossible to make such decisions (or unless you were a complete expert on the matter) - I still think it's something to think about. And interesting nonetheless.

Hmm.
