Quote by: Alive  Life is worth a certain amount of money--that is, there is a certain amount of money that could almost absolutely be used to save a life somwhere on this planet. With that in mind, from a utilitarian point of view, sure, if it is enough money kill the person and donate it immediately to some life-saving charity.
How could you not justify killing someone for a few billion dollars when those dollars, placed in the right hands, could save the lives of potentially hundreds of thousands of people? One life is not worh more than thousands. |
Then, how do you decide whose life is worth less than those hundreds of thousands of people? Whose place is it to make that decision?
