What is your response to this ethics thought experiment?

I've heard this one before, but it was done with a man being connected to another accidentally after getting drunk and going to the wrong area of a hospital. It kind of puts things in a different light. \nPersonally I could never have an abortion and if someone asked me for advice I would have to urge them against it, but ultimately it is their life and body, so it is their life.

What an adolescent question, there is an obvious ethical choice here, I prefer to do it (assuming ‘it’ is a subliminal reference to what Dr Freud based his practice on regarding what we think about most often…and not something for sale on ebay or some other site) with whom I am attracted to….  Their experience is not something that would matter in the decision.

Is this a hypothetical, or a sarcastic question? :P

A father is explaining ethics to his son, who is about to go into business. "Suppose a woman comes in and orders a hundred dollars worth of material. You wrap it up, and you give it to her. She pays you with a $100 bill. But as she goes out the door you realize she’s given you two $100 bills. Now, here’s where the ethics come in: should you or should you not tell your partner?"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n I failed my driver’s test. The guy asked me "what do you do at a red light?" I said, I don’t know… look around, listen to the radio…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI was on the subway, sitting on a newspaper, and a guy comes over and asks ‘Are you reading that?" I didn’t know what to say. So I said yes. I stood up, turned the page, and sat down again. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nI have a large seashell collection, which I keep scattered on beaches all over the world \n\n\n\n\nA guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. Three years later, there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says ‘What the hell was that all about?"

Good question mate!\nI... don't know if I would, honestly. I'm not religious but I am spiritual, and if I lost that part of my life... It sounds terrible but it depends on who the person was. I'd save anyone I knew in a shot, but a stranger? \nFeel guilty saying this so I'm gonna stop!\nOne. x\n- ACTUALLY, the main part of my religion is morals and the rest is science and optimism, so I would have to say yes. It would be the right thing to do, and since I claim to care about morals I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't denounce my beliefs for them.

Yup. Because in the integrated definition of the afore mentioned appropriation that you collaborated and presented, the integral section of the multi-answerable response would be internationally and irreputably inconsistent with the immesaureable antecedent to the original propositional theoretical deliberation you asked us to focus on!!!!!

I would hope that I would stick to my moral values, however it is hard to say what I would honesty do until put into that situation.  I know there are some things that I would not compromise on..such as covering for a friend/family member for cheating on their spouse, etc.

"If pigs had wings, could they fly?"  The problem with both questions is that the premise is false.  Killing an innocent person will not, in fact, end world hunger.  \n\nSort of like "How many angels can fit on the head of a pin?" (although that one at least had some theological discussion behind it).  \n\nPseudo-philosophical questions like these generally don't yield fruitful answers (in the sense of real insights), but they can be a fun parlor-game or way to pass the time and get acquainted with friends.

You ask: <So is the sanctity of life just a human invention based on self interest to protect itself?>\n\nYes. Probably. It's odd, isn't it that life is sacred for the unborn, but once you're born, you're fit to kill, particularly if you're not American. So, the idea is not a human invention, but probably an American invention (of a particular political group) to advance it's own interests. Like all political principles, this principle is filled with contradictions. Instead of principle, I should have said "slogan".

Trust?   Well I might think their reasoning might be a little off. So I would weigh that in. \nAnd some just plain lie --maybe they believe it--I don't know.\n\nSo I would be careful.

Seen this one already.  What is your question to us?

Great idea.  What is your hypothesis?  What experiment will you do?  What data will you collect?  How will you interpret it?

Now there is a truly original thought!  How refreshing.  I will make that my question to ponder as I go to sleep tonight.\n\nThank you.

Morally not necessarily\n\nRealistically yes

i would try to think through the ethical concerns behind necrophilia

You could talk about the ethical and moral implications of abortion.
