RE: Is it bad to kill people?

in #philosophy6 years ago

And don't get me wrong, I don't believe morale is absolute at all. I find the question of "is it bad to kill someone" extremely complex. Taking as an example the train paradox where you have to decide between killing one or three people. Or, should you shoot a plane full of people because it might crash into a building and kill many others?
These questions are incredibly difficult to answer and might not have a decent response at all.
But, morale has to be consistent. If I think it is right to kill the people in the plain, I must be okay with it when I am in the plain as well. Else, it's just being selfish.
