I think I did a slightly bad job of explaining it. Spriteling Send a noteboard - 16/04/2010 11:56:14 AM
Maybe they could put out the world's first job advertisement for a moral philosopher? Imagine the business card: "J Smith, Moral Dilemma Creator".


I mean, I mostly agree with what everyone is saying, but it was way better explained in the episode, and the debate kinda made more sense.

I'd torture more people for fun after saving the friend or family member. Tom - 16/04/2010 01:25:43 AM 511 Views

So, like... using medical research acquired by Nazi scientists during the Holocaust? *NM* Mad Cow Bomber - 16/04/2010 04:34:32 AM 358 Views
Yeah, like that, pretty much. *NM* Spriteling - 16/04/2010 09:37:25 AM 202 Views
I can't think of many ethical considerations of any sort that would trump dying family member. *NM* Aemon - 16/04/2010 05:12:43 AM 191 Views

This is a total no-brainer, as per above responses. Star Trek clearly needs better moral dilemmas. Tim - 16/04/2010 09:44:43 AM 458 Views

This question kind of raised it's head in a recent Bad Science column Mark - 16/04/2010 01:25:12 PM 601 Views
I think it would be unethical to let someone else die to protect your moral values *NM* random thoughts - 16/04/2010 02:16:54 PM 196 Views
Possibly not, but only if it would be immoral for your victims to refuse to cure your loved one. Burr - 16/04/2010 04:33:38 PM 496 Views
I have no ethics or morals or whatever. Kuke - 16/04/2010 05:47:56 PM 471 Views
I think I know the episode that prompted this. Dreaded Anomaly - 16/04/2010 09:28:55 PM 531 Views
That's a lot like a question I was asked recently. Dragonsoul - 16/04/2010 10:34:01 PM 495 Views
