An uncomfortable ethics question.
#15
RE: An uncomfortable ethics question.
unless I was having a really shitty day, I'd save myself.
if the situation was like on the train tracks and I was the 1 stuck, but could still control the direction, I think it would be difficult. It would seem more like I was directly responsible and I would be able to see them die. I'm not sure I'd be able to live with myself for that one. I'm not sure I'd be able to live with myself if I was indirectly responsible for 10 other people's deaths. with one I'd just have to tell myself that people die all the time and I had no way of knowing who would be more productive in life.
