That's a false dichotomy. The way you phrase it, you would gladly kill a million people to give your grandma one extra day of life.

one extra day of life.
- dmitrygr 4y agoA million maybe not. But surely more than one. Now we’re just haggling over numbers.
- komali2 4y agoNormally one wouldn't "haggle lives" over hypothetical of how many you'd kill to save your grandma. Normal people would demand to know what kind of system is forcing them to sacrifice lives in order to save grandma, and why the solution isn't to instead dismantle that system.
- dmitrygr 4y agoExample: limited number of donor kidneys. What will you dismantle to solve this? Not everything can be solved by dismantling something. Some resources are truly limited.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoIf you'd give a donor kidney to grandma so she could live one extra day vs someone who could live years with it, I'm comfortable thinking of you as a terrible person and part of the reason the world is as shit as it is.
