The Harvard Moral Sense Test

4.7 here, although I was not reading them very carefully at the end so I may have answered a few contrary to the logic I had applied in the first "block"

Uh oh, A, we might have a good debate brewing here /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

How could you feel better having 5 people die instead of 1? Regardless of whose fault is whose, point is you could have saved 5 people and instead chose to save 1.

I see your perspective, but who caused the death seems like you acting only in yourself instead of yourself as part of the universe, nahmean? It's like you are saying, "Well, as long as it's not on my Sin List, I'll save the majority" Forreal, I dunno man /sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

I can end this debate easy... /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

Quite simply, I don't want to play God...Well, not too much anyway... /:D" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt=":D" />

It's not a matter of how I feel about the deaths, it's just how it is...Of course, there are several other factors that would tie into a real life scenario, but the point is I wouldn't cause the death of a person, to save the life of another...

What if the guy I threw out of the window had 5 children at home to feed..? Maybe the 5 children I save develop pyromania from the trauma suffered in the fires, and set fire to many more buildings killing many more people..?

Ahaha, it comes to light that way then, yes..?
