Another exceptional piece once again Anthony! I truly admire the way in which you are able to view everything through the lens of morality :) I wonder though what you think! If no moral framework can promise clean hands, then what distinguishes a better choice from a worse one? The amount of suffering? Would you identifiy yourself as an utilitarian? Anyway, interested to hear more of your thoughts!! Also, you've made me look at this movie from a different perspective, which is funny because as we've talked about, I was quite resigned to dislike it!
Thank you for the comment! I am definitely not a utilitarian. I don’t think that net results outweigh the harms accepted to get those results.
I think that the best decision is made in a bad scenario, but responsibility doesn’t stop when the decision is made. Why were people harmed in the decision? What can be done to prevent that in the future? Those are things that need addressing.
