Good points, but it all seems arbitrary. That is, I understand that you have to take a moral stand but when does that stand need a new solution? For example, let's look at 24 - there's a nuclear bomb and it may go off in a matter of hours unless we can get to it. We think this dude knows where it is - do we fill him full of drugs to find out? I'd say yes. On the other hand we can say that that's immoral and that if the terrorist chooses to detonate the bomb then it's on his head. For me, I can't live with that. If I can stop it, I'll stop it. The same goes for birth control. While it'd be nice for everyone to be perfect they're not and if my actions condemn millions to death then maybe I'm the immoral one despite my high moral ground. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few and all that. Granted all of this is philosophy, but it's interesting and something I haven't figured out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:154822 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
