Body autonomy is great and all, but it doesn't excuse murder.
Like I said: I'm not required to save you, but I also can't kill you.

- ars 4y agoChanging the scenario midway does not help anyone. Unless you are implying you agree with me, and wish to discuss a new scenario. To me the lines are clear: You don't have to take action to save his life, but you also can not kill him by your actions. i.e. if everyone froze at this moment and did nothing - would he live, or die?
- dsego 4y agoI wasn't changing the scenario.
