If a man was born without a conscience, and another man had a 3 kids a wife and was dying of cervical cancer with no chance of survival.

Would /sci/ want the dying man to take the body of the conscienceless body?


ethics test.

>a man
>dying of cervical cancer

test invalid due to faulty premises. discarded.

Everything has its time and everything ends. The dying man should accept his fate rather than try to survive at the expense of another.

Transgender man, adopted kids.

Test results: you are horrible people. Funny, we weren't even testing for that.

Seriously though, OP: I think you meant 'consciousness'.

Totally cool dawg, seems like you're just throwing away organs if he doesn't take the body.

But I would also work to invent the artificial lung to cure him then sell the rights to my patent to the tobacco companies so take my ethical conclusions for what they are.

So basically he's just a dude who doesn't act morally?

And you think people are going to advocate ripping out his brain and replacing it with someone else's, just because that other guy has kids?

>> No.3140059

Your thread ended before it even began.

>> No.3140060

Kids are irrelevant.

If the body doesn't have conciousness then it doesn't have life and is just a walking bag of organs to be made use of.

So you're asking if it's ok for the psychopath to be killed in order that the family man could live?
You don't happen to be taking an intro to ethics course right now?

No, I don't believe the dying man should take the body of the living man.

This is because of how I value a person's life; their purpose in life and their ability to improve mankind as a whole.

Even if the man does not have a conscience, what is to say that he will not influence mankind in a positive way.

Genius John mc asskick has just saved every person on the planet while solving many global problems beforehand. This ordeal has caused him to be completely paralyzed and have brain damage reducing his intelligence to average. There only exists enough resources to save him or a person that will slightly benefit the human race as a whole. Who do you save?
What if john will be a leech on society after he is saved, consuming considerable resources equivalent to the GDP of a small nation?

Slightly alternate scenario: Genius John mc asskick can live a normal life helping humanity again, but only by immediately taking the robot body of Evil Professor Hitler-Satan, the supervillian who attempted to destroy the earth. This will kill Evil Professor Hitler-Satan.

Morality and even ethics is arbitrary and subjective. It doesn't exist outside the minds of humans.

Anyone arguing otherwise needs a bullet to the skull.

I wouldn't make any intervention.
Every single one of us is grown up enough to take care of themselves. I'm tired of being asked to look up after others. I do NOT give a shit about others lives, it doesn't make me happier, it doesn't make me feel better, it only wastes my time.
You all agree with me, I know it. The only ones who will disagree are those hypocrits or those who are too much of faggots to be brainwashed by TV and all that stuff.
