I have no patience for these contrived dilemmas that few people will ever encounter. When humanity is done making war with one another then maybe we could ask these questions. But until then it is like treating someone's skin rash and ignoring that they are in cardiac arrest.
- ismarc 17y agoWhy do you think there are wars? It has to do with the moral standing and beliefs of the leaders who wage those wars. These types of tests are actually very appropriate for "treating" the problem of war. One life for one more important one, or one life for many, or a few lives for many are the foundations of war. Is the study and the results a fix for these things? No. But they can give a much greater understanding of the decisions people are willing to make, allowing for better judgement of reactions ot situations.
