Presentation Transcript

  1. 1. The mad bomber • A terrorist who has threatened to explode several bombs in New York has been apprehended. The bombs are timed to go off in a short time. It is possible that hundreds of people may die. The terrorist refuses to say anything and agent Jack Bauer suggests torture would be the right thing to do in this desperate situation. Do you agree? If you do, would it also be morally justifiable to torture the terrorist’s innocent wife if that is the only way to make him talk?

  2. 2. Concentration Camp • You are an inmate in a concentration camp. A sadistic guard is about to hang your son who tried to escape and wants you to pull the chair from underneath him. He says that if you don’t he will not only kill your son but some other innocent inmate as well. You don’t have any doubt that he means what he says. What should you do?

  3. 3. Woman stuck in cave • A pregnant woman leading a group of people out of a cave on a coast is stuck in the mouth of that cave. In a short time high tide will be upon them, and unless she is unstuck, they will all be drowned except the woman, whose head is out of the cave. Fortunately, (or unfortunately,) someone has with him a stick of dynamite. There seems no way to get the pregnant woman loose without using the dynamite which will inevitably kill her; but if they do not use it everyone will drown. What should they do?
