The spectrum of worth...
    #14582014 - 06/08/11 09:21 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Of course most of us will agree that all life is sacred, but at what point, in a situation of life and death wherein you have the opportunity to save one out of two people from drowning, does one life become more valuable than the other?

If you have to choose between your best friend and a convicted rapist and murderer the choice is simple, right? But what about an good friend and a suspected rapist and murderer? Someone you remember from school and a rumored sex offender? Two complete strangers?

The same can be applied to young and old, male and female, fat and thin, good and evil etc... At what point along the spectrum of perceived worth does one human life become more valuable than anothers?

I guess I'm not most people then:satansmoking:  Yea for me.

Anyway you save whoever you want and be done with it. Why have regrets over someone who's going to die eventually anyway.

What about when the lines between positive and negative begin to blur?

This question was prompted after a dream I had the other night. My dog was drowning and so was a convicted murderer, the strange thing is I saved the murderer, despite loving my dog more than most human beings.

That's the only rational way of looking at this imo. :thumbup:
