Moral Dilemma
According to philosophers, the morally upright course will be
the course that would be acceptable if everyone would act the
same and the outcome is valuable to all people. Therefore,
throwing fifteen people out of the boat will be wrong because
this will be like murder, but as the captain, murder is
inescapable. I do not believe that my way of handling the
situation would be best, but either way, a choice would have to
be made.
The best way that I would handle the situation would be, telling
the survivors the situation we have found ourselves in, and as
such asking them who would be willing to sacrifice themselves
for others, including myself in the 15 who will jump overboard.
I believe that individuals should never treat people as a means
to an end where the result is our only concern. (Piper 46).
Actions often have consequences, and they can be used from
various perspectives and respects. To consider an action morally
right or wrong, one must be aware of the ethical rules that
govern society. I choose to let the people make the decision,
whether to volunteer on the survival of 15, or not to. A morally
upright decision is the decision that is acceptable by all people
as a right. Therefore, in the case scenario involving the boat,
the best ethical and moral decision to take is to come up with a
decision that looks at everyone's common good.
The way I sow the situation was, living meant baring the pain of
allowing 15 people to die and that only if they all make the
decision of who should die and live, but as the captain, I don’t
think I had a choice but to die. Sacrificing myself first was so
that everyone would stay calm but also as a sign of the
seriousness of the situation. But also, Survival for me meant
going to jail for the death of 15 people, NOo!.
