An uncomfortable ethics question.
#5
RE: An uncomfortable ethics question.
What if you knew you were the person to be killed (in a 1-1 scenario)? What would you want the person making the decision to do? Would you want them to sacrifice themselves to save you, or kill you to save themselves? After I thought about this one for a while I think I decided I would save myself. I looked at it as, for whatever reason, this is now in my hands, but it could have been anyone else, and I could be in the other position just as easily, and from the other perspective, I think I would understand if the person saved himself/herself. I don't think I can expect myself to be so altruistic in the heat of the moment as to give up my own life.
My religion is the understanding of my world. My god is the energy that underlies it all. My worship is my constant endeavor to unravel the mysteries of my religion. Thinking
