[ QUOTE ]
to answer all of your questions:

no. it is never ok to choose to cause someone's death. even if inaction causes someone's death. i didn't choose to be in the situation where either 100 or 1000 people die. so i am not morally culpable for the 1000 if i choose inaction. but i am morally culpable for the 100 if i do act to save the 1000.

[/ QUOTE ] So then obviously you wouldn't kill hitler?

How can you say that you value human life?

What makes choosing to kill someone wrong? Surely you can't contend that it is the loss of human life, because you are saying that you don't care about human life. You only care about not choosing to kill.

Where's the logic? That is too much to ask probably, where is the morality?
