[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
#57
RE: Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
I may be failing to properly communicate. I do think that killing is morally significant harm. There's no split there in the type of morality I try (and mostly fail) to practice.

You were asking about systems that considered the act of killing your father in an act of assisted suicide and killing someone else by accident are the same harm. Natural realism could (and does) do this. The natural realists case in either outcome could be that you did intend to do a thing, the same thing, considered to be a morally significant harm. It would be difficult to explain how it all happened otherwise.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
