I don't know that the legal system necessarily cares about morality or moral responsibility. It seems like the only criteria that would matter would be legal responsibility, whatever that standard might be.
- QAPereo 9y agoIf you take actions which a reasonable person would expect to cause harm to others, there is a legal dimension there ranging from civil liability, to the extreme of 2nd degree murder via “depraved indifference” statutes.
- wavefunction 9y agoGood points.
- steveeq1 9y agoOr the criteria: "which moral stance makes me the most profit?"
- LeifCarrotson 9y agoIt isn't always about whether the legal system cares. They're asking whether or not moral people should care. Those can be very different.
