What if they aren't? Are there criteria that can be met that make the decision to leave someone injured on the side of the road morally sound?

What if they aren't? Are there criteria that can be met that make the decision to leave someone injured on the side of the road morally sound?
- SamReidHughes 8y agoWe aren't on the side of any roads here.
- knieveltech 8y agoFine. Sidewalk, in the middle of a restaurant, in your livingroom, at the airport. Pick a location and then feel free to explain what selection criteria make ignoring the injuries of another moral.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoOkay. I pick any of the injuries of others that you're ignoring right now.
- knieveltech 8y agoI am not currently actively or passively ignoring anyone's injuries. I'm a trained first responder, registered organ donor, and actively lobby my local, state, and federal government for universal healthcare and robust international humanitarian aid. It is instructive to note that two attempts to shift goalposts and distract with trivia have been made while nobody seems willing to take a crack at what is a very simple question.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoYou haven't helped care for my injuries. Lobbying for international (paid for by others) is like calling a taxi when you've got an injured man by the road and telling the cabdriver to deal with it.
- knieveltech 8y agoYou intentionally confuse turning a blind eye with limited ability to render aid, further attempting to obfuscate the central question. Again I am not that easily distracted. Last time, for the cheap seats, what criteria make ignoring others' injuries a moral choice?
