| News flash! Emotion, character and reason are all valid in this discussion. Let me put it to you just a bit more directly: An aggrieved mother and father are there, facing you and their dead child. Now, having made this call to let their kid die, what do you say to them? I will wait... Actually, I won't. It is one thing to speak of optimal choices when one is seperated from, or above, disassociated. Real life, where the actual humans are plays out much differently. Above, when I asked, "Seriously?" it was this I was getting at. The claim of strange morals, based on some 100 to one, as if! I found the whole thing deeply disturbing. Not a negative to the participants. Not my intent. No, what I found disturbing was the detached nature of the whole thing. Maybe Liberal Arts education remains more relevant than I realize. Again, not a negative toward anyone. Context matters, that's all. I very seriously question the general wisdom in having some percentage of us so far isolated from people overall, and any sort of meaningful policy, moral debate being beneficial. You completely failed to make a meaningful rebuttal. Correct... ? Like I said, seriously? |
This wouldn't happen, since I'm a (non-sociopath) human.
You seem to have missed the point of the argument completely.
> Real life, where the actual humans are plays out much differently.
Nobody disagrees here.
