Person A is shooting the victim.| Person B is present, and knows what's happening. The "Objective Good" person is present to make You aware that Person A is notobjectively justified.
my answer is number one. in your diagram right next to his letter, it says 'kills.' he kills a person. enough for me. person 'b' could be considered 'accessory' since he could have prevented it but being accessory is not exactly the same as pulling the trigger. even if they were in cahoots.
Hm, that is hard...I think maybe Person A is the greater evil because he's actually doing the killing. Although Person B kind of sucks for being so apathetic. I think I would be more comfortable committing #1 (the killing). Because after the initial shock of "Holy crap, I just killed someone!"...Maybe I'll feel OKAY because I thought it was perfectly justified. (Maybe the person was going to go off and many other people and I was trying to stop them.) But I might feel more crap doing nothing, if I didn't feel the killing was justified. Because then later I'd be thinking "Crap...I could have saved this person! Whom, as far as I know, was a perfectly fine person who didn't deserve to be killed!" Maybe I'm just saying I'd rather think that the person being killed deserved to be killed...Or something. I think I have confused myself now.
Also, when are you coming home?

The correct answer is that determining worldviews based on isolated, extreme examples that we'd need to experience firsthand to know our reactions to is a dangerous, self-deceptive tactic.

Will is avoiding the question.
