TAO-07 rated 4 months ago- This is not so much a moral problem except on paper and thought process. When it comes down to you or someone else. Man has the instinct of self preservation. Part of the fight or flight syndrome. To analyze it intellectually Vs. actually being there and feeling the fear of your going to die is entirely different. There are 2 different processes going on here. Thinking about it and actually being in the situation.

- These questions are cornelian dilemmas impossible to resolve : killing someone to save 5 other people, you get the drift. Still, it's interesting as, as we read these dilemmas, we can assess how are minds process and what are our natural, instant reactions regardless of logic and calculation. What distinguishes a normal person with a conscience from a psychopath is that the psychopath wouldn't feel he's faced with any dilemma at all, he could just kill either 1 person or 5, according to what he could gain from it (even if it's just for the thrill) and not because it would save a life/lives.

- no, definately not my thing as most of them are are you going to kill one versus more type of deal. Ethics usually goes farther than that!

- From the page: "The deepest foundation on which morality is built is the phenomenon of empathy, the understanding that what hurts me would feel the same way to you. And human ego notwithstanding, it's a quality other species share. While it's impossible to directly measure empathy in animals, in humans it's another matter. Here are some of the dilemmas used to study human morality. Take this quiz to see how you compare to other TIME.com readers. Then read how scientists are using these dilemmas to study morality." The stumble comments are more illuminating to me. Seems most would rather question the realism of the scenarios (which are mention to be thought problems) than actually prob what they are capable of. Most of the others confront it by making jokes.

- two options? ---> binary system (two values (black & white? (THINK))) ---> computer (technology (artificial (PAGAN IS FIRST? chicken or egg))) ---> these are a phallusy. be free with natural options
