A hard choice

you have a bullet lodged in your cerebellum, it can be removed only by one man however if the bullet is removed 10 puppies will die. if it is not you will die. every one i ask lets the puppies die so how about this...
if the bullet is removed a baby will die. would you do it?

 

There is only one circumstance in which I would let someone else die to preserve my life. If I had knowledge that no one else had that would save more than 1 other person then I would sacrifice the baby. If I did not then I wouldn't ask to end another's life to preserve my own.

 

how in the hell, would that cause 10 puppies die, if i had a bullet removed from my brain?

same question about the baby.
your question is too openended and it is unsound too because, you leave too many facts out about the above question.
without more information on the situation the, only conclusion i could reach would be to save my own life.

 

I believe that the intended goal here was not a likely situation it was a moral dillema. Basically would you sacrifice a baby to save your own life.

 

that is still too openended to come to a dicission on without, more information about the sitiuation. the only conclusion from the information i have to date, with what i know in from this thread, is i would put my life first. with more information i could very well change that dicission and put others' before myself.

i just can't come to a judgment about if the above question is moral or, if it is not moral.
this in really about a question of moral relativity here. all any of us can do is act on the best of our knowledge at any time and place, and, update our knowledge as more information comes along.
this is just messy as all hell... just like life is!

 

i asked it in a survey once to find out whether puppies or babies are cuter. not alot of people kill the puppies.

 

This dilemma depends on how cute the baby is!

 

Why save anyone?

Including myself?

 

depends on if i know the baby. and if its family. only if its family and ive bonded. if not i see my life as more valuable than a babies. i like living

 

whats up with all the dead puppies in this section, i swear im getting depressed just reading these threads
