[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
#52
RE: Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
(May 8, 2021 at 11:18 am)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Isn't it possible for a person to want something very much and for that thing to be bad?  With respect to assisted suicide, the moral nature of the thing -in some systems- is not equivalent between the two moral agents in the relationship.  A person wanting to die may not be bad - but another person willing to kill them - or a society willing to do so, could be.  We could repeat the same for abortions or for environmental activism.

It wouldn't matter as the mitigating circumstance would still mitigate the moral conclusion in all those systems. I don't need for the morals to differ in a specific way. I only need there to be a difference because of a subjective element.
