Hypotheticals
aren't what we base our morality upon.
Take this example. We start by
asking, whether you would ever kill another person?
A:
I would never kill another person.
B:
How could you say that, think of a hypothetical situation X, whereby
the murder of another would not only necessary but potentially good.
A:
I'm not thinking of any future potential possibility, but my attitude
now. That is, who I am at the present and under these current
situations. How would I know how I would act in a situation I do not
know.
B:
Then think of a situation that you do know.
A:
That is possible, but it won't help your case. Think of these two
questions.
1 Would you like oranges if you were a dog?
2 Would you ever love another human being?
2b 'Specific human being'
How
could I answer these kinds of questions? Your hypothetical ethical
question is as unanswerable.
