Summary
I was afraid that students could have whether a right answer or not. However, what's the right answer?
Is it right to kill five people if you could kill one person instead?
Is there a morally appropriate way when you kill someone?
And then, when you have to kill that one person, you wouldn't do, even if you could save five people.
However, you would do if there is someone's consent there. For example, someone is almost dead, is ill and doesn't have a family.
Moreover, if you have to be nineteen days without any food, you can think that it is okay to make a sacrifice of someone to survive.
They can be philosophically explained.
If the moral thing to do depends on the consequences that will result from your action, it's called consequentialist moral reasoning. ⑴ It locates in the consequences of an act that will result from the thing you do. However, people consider other causes they won't be so sure about consequentialist moral reasoning. They start to think that it is just wrong to kill a person, even for the sake of saving five lives. It's called categorical moral reasoning. ⑵ It locates morality in certain absolute moral requirements, certain categorical duties and rights, regardless of the consequences.
And then, in there, utilitarianism has an influential power.
However, in fact, the problems is clear, it carries certain risks. There's an irony with some moral dilemma there. People pursue an act of consent. ⑶ People think that an act of consent is morally permissible.
Is it right?.
We always seek what the right thing to do is. However, “Justice” has two different aspects. For us, it's right, it might not be right for opposite site. I think that no one know what is a right answer though we have to do better things.
It just turns out that it's necessary for us to read many books and to discuss problems more, because we can find new ideas but we might escape from it and ignore it.
