So today we talked about morality... what it is, where it's come from.  On AOL news, there was a headline- "Student Places Stone for Killer -of Virginia Tech Memorial - She calls it Morally Right" (http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/student-adds-memorial-stone-for-gunman/20070426115109990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001)..thought it was ironic that we were just talking about this today and here it is in the news..also, to further the trolley example of morality a little.. in high school, my english teacher posed this- is it better to save/affect more people rather than less? There are 4 people. 3 have families, and also are dying of organ failure. One person is perfectly healthy, but without a family or others really involved to him. Logically... should we kill that person and save the organs to save the other 3 people? That way, only one person dies and three survive..even though that one person was totally fine?
