🙂 Good link! Fun times, I have answers to these!
Here’s some answers:
1. SHOULD WE KILL HEALTHY PEOPLE FOR THEIR ORGANS?
Yes. Although I wouldn’t feel bad if we didn’t. The consequences are, I think, what is important. That said, I think morality isn’t about thought so much as feeling. So when you choose something because it ‘feels’ right, then maybe you’ve gotten closer than most of us, however inconsistent it is with other things you determine to be ‘moral.’
2. ARE YOU THE SAME PERSON WHO STARTED READING THIS ARTICLE?
Meh, you’re smuggling in a lot of concepts when you say ‘person’ and ‘you.’ Also ‘same.’
3. IS THAT REALLY A COMPUTER SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU?
Insofar as anything is. I’m a realist, so I’ll have to say it is a collection of particles that really exists and we see as a computer screen. I can never see the thing-in-itself, but that doesn’t mean my senses don’t really give me a pretty good idea of what’s really there.
4. DID YOU REALLY CHOOSE TO READ THIS ARTICLE?
I don’t really see how this takes away choice. Moreover, I don’t see what makes choice so special that everyone wants to save it. See answer 2.
