Re: Pick a Moral Rule
Why not? Why shouldn't I murder somebody if I profit by it and get away with it?
You shouldn't murder someone mostly because it is a very basic denial of their freedom to live. Thats a very broad reason why not to.
You shouldn't murder anyone unless you want to have the normal expectation that murder is common and normal standard of life. IOW for your own security murder is not an option because to set a trend of murder would deny you your security and it would deny you a reasonable expectation to not being murdered.
