Not disagreeing with you at all, but this has a parallel with the age old hypothetical questions that people regularly ask each other. Would you kill 1 person to save 100 people? I don't think theres even a correct answer, its all opinion.
Having no knowledge of the field of ethicists, i would imagine that these are the kinds of things they debate all day long, theres a million variations on the same question.
- Jabbles 6y agoSurely the general question doesn't matter though, and all the millions of variations are irrelevant, as there is a specific example that you want to consider.
- defen 6y agoIn this case it's more like "would you allow a group of 18-20 year olds to voluntarily deliberately expose themselves to the same risk of death presented by driving 7,500 miles in order to save the lives of a million people?"
