Today we discussed Moral Philosophy. Moral Philosophy basically examines the rightness and wrongness of our behavior. Below is a Moral Dilemma that I would like you to answer. Determine which is best coure of action to take and explain why.
Hypothetical #1: You are stranded with thirty people on a lifeboat that is intended to hold only seven. No one can paddle this heavy boat and it is definitely going to sink, drowning everyone inside it. It occurs to you that you can save some of the people in the lifeboat by asking all but the strongest rowers to go overboard. Do you think it would be morally permissible to save some people by asking others to go overboard?
