Kid dies for the greater good.

I see no problem with that.

I've seen enough movies to know that "the greater good" is no good

I think there are a lot of movies that endorse sacrifice for the greater good, but movies really shouldn't be determining your moral code.

If pressing a button that killed my entire immediate family, myself included, would unlock button #2 to end world suffering, I would do it. So obviously I would have no issues with killing this random barely cognizant infant I've never met for the same end.

I just can't justify killing a completely innocent person to create a utopia for others, 99% of whom don't even deserve it.

It almost sounds like you're more concerned about unjustified happiness than innocent death. That's spiteful of you. >.>
I mean you do sound like a monster if you're killing a baby, but I'd hope even Philosophy 101 students can see both sides.

There's a huge difference between 'heated discussion' and 'you're a monster'. Huuuge. The former may have actual academic benefit and the latter is name-calling to an absurd degree (in that I don't even think Hitler should be described as a 'monster').


You clearly have never been in a college philosophy class

90% of it is listening to stupid 18 year olds' opinions and 10% is zoning out while the professor tries to teach something

I took a University Philosophy class and in my experience 100% of it was sitting at the back playing Solitaire on my laptop

I can see both sides but I believe getting past suffering makes you a better person

I think this depends on the definition of "global suffering"

I don't wanna take the time to read the thread to see if this has been mentioned yet, but do the people in your class support a woman's right to choose?

I'd have to disagree. Sure, #firstworldproblems build character, but you're telling me someone starving in Africa is better off than the same guy doing peachy in Africa?

I'll let you know.

The other option was to split it into two high schools, because logistically / probably legally they couldn't fit 5500 kids in the old campus.
That said, it's a fairly depressing place, despite what all the funding says #firstworldpains

Forget the entire world.

I would literally do this for one other person in the world (my dad) and not regret it for a second.


But then you would only get your dad's suffering, so it's not nearly as big of a sacrifice

And if you got the whole WORLD'S suffering, you would get regret as just a mere sliver of that. So you WOULD regret it.
