Re: Not good enough.
The majority would agree that it is better and more moral to kill or torture one to save many.
Do you agree?
Or should the many just be left to die?
So if many people needed to steal food from me, so they could live while my small family dies, that would be moral in your opinion.
Nonsense.

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison
