I don't value people's life the same. It's as easy as that. Doing nothing (by not killing 1) is not taking the moral high ground. You can not absolve yourself by saying "it's not up to me to play god". Doing nothing is also an action. The statement of the moral question does not care, it is absolute. Say the question was stated such that you had to actively kill the 100 people. Would it change your answer? | ||

Ip Man wouldn't say yes or no, he'd go and kick ass and save the 100 through wing chun. Duh. | ||
