You seem to be following an utilitarian moral theory, others may propose a consequentialist or hedonistic or religious assessments of human value. The one thing to remember about ethics is there are no absolute moral rules.
- EzGraphs 14y agoThe one thing to remember about ethics is there are no absolute moral rules. Is that an absolute? ;)

- confluence 14y agoAgreed. Didn't know there was a name to it :D. But I'm always careful with utilitarian theory - it's so easy to get wrong - if any one of your assumptions are wrong. That's why I try to make sure that the final result complies with other theories (empathy etc.). Playing with value theories is like playing with fire.
