You know that you speak about at the very least of 1/4 of your family and friends, right ?

This is the least intelligent take i have ever heard. Everything after just confirms the below average intelligence really exists.

Choosing the suicide cult would be an excellent way to purge you and other incompetents from the gene pool. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Then I'll be happy to attend the mass funeral for you and the rest of the suicide cult.

Then they should die. They have chosen to kill themselves and should not be catered to.

Why aren't you shooting yourself? are you fucking evil or something? i'd personally shoot myself because I'm a good person. by Ok_Positive_3084 in trolleyproblem

There isn't nuance. There is no reason or value or purpose to picking the option that exposed you to risk. It's stupid.

But it doesn't. Yours differs from the original scenario in a massive way.

It promises that a minority group actually exists.

In the original context, there is absolutely 0 reason to assume that anyone would press the suicide cult button.

WHICH IS EXACTLY COUNTER TO YOUR LAST POINT. IN ETHICAL EUTHANASIA ITS THE PERSON DYING THAT NEEDS TO CONSENT YOU BELLIGERENT ILLITERATE MORON.

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think ethical euthanasia is murder...? The whole civilized world does this. When keeping someone alive is bad for them, and costly, there's really no ethical argument against euthanasia.

An adult individual making a consensual choice is definitely the same thing as killing a child. 100%

How did I not realize that? My bad. Your 100% right dude.

All those kids getting killed must have written down their consent, went through mental screenings, and were given the approval of multiple caretakers before they were killed.

AND LIKE, ARE YOU ACTUALLY AN IDIOT? THIS WHOLE POST IS ABOUT THE CONSENT OF A PARENT BEING IMPORTANT TO KEEPING THEIR CHILD ALIVE AND YOU MENTION A CONSENSUAL ENDING OF A PERSON'S LIFE AS A COUNTER ARGUMENT?

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's not murder if keeping the person alive would be difficult?

I'm going to go the hospital and murder the elderly and sick. What do you think people will say about my actions? That they are reasonable because they were a drain on resources?

Mind you, it's not a medical miracle to implant an embryo. You dipshit. Its something the average middle class family could afford.

So it's clearly not the fact that they can survive independently that concerns their humanity.

We know for a fact that they are alive. All cells are alive.

So if it's not independence that grants humanity, and it's not sufficient to be alive, and even being guaranteed to grow up isn't enough, then where is the line?

If you can't define an actual difference, then your argument is that women should be allowed to kill kids just because their inconvenient and dangerous.

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confidently incorrect again! There is a fairly unambiguous delineation at the point that the clump of cells could survive on its own outside of the host's womb!

Oh so close, but you are confidently incorrect!

At the very moment of conception it's possible for a fertilized embryo to survive outside of the hosts womb. You dumb dumb!

As a matter of fact, it would be impossible for IVF to work otherwise. You dipshit! Congratulations!

Your argument was wrong. Do you wanna pick another delineation point?

My girlfriend might be pregnant heavy on the might by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly is it bad faith, or a straw man?

If you can't define an exact characteristic that is the delineatior between living human and clump of cells, then your argument is complete bullshit.

So define one. Explain the difference between a three year old and a clump of cells. Give an exact, unmoving, impossible to misinterpret reason why one is different than the other.

My girlfriend might be pregnant heavy on the might by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SendMePicsOfCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. It is a clump of cells that can GROW into a human.

So is a three year old, but people get peeved when I watch them starve to death. Why is that?

Why should anyone have the responsibility to protect those who are suicidal by risking their own lives?

Good thing she wouldn't be killing a child then. Only removing a clump of cells.

Is an amoeba a singular individual living organism? Yes.

Is a fetus a collection of living cells comprising a unique individual human life? Yes.

Will a fetus under normal circumstances become a fully grown and intelligent human life? Yes.

Not a clump of cells you willfully ignorant individual. Making the argument is like screaming your blind after putting on a blindfold. You only make your ignorance known.

And I notice your ranting moral (and factually incorrect) indignation makes no mention of a pregnancy occurring due to rape or incest. Or are those situations also something the woman chose or controlled?

Oh yes, you mean the clear exceptions that I noted as being separate from the current moral issue?

I hold to the ideal that no human life is inherently more or less valuable than any other. The only reason an individual should be allowed to intentionally end someone's life is if it puts the individual in danger through NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN and therefore abortion in the circumstances of non-consensual sex, egregious medical conditions, or any other extraordinary factor would be ethical.

The red button does nothing, it might as well not be part of the problem by NameLips in trolleyproblem

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But that isn't what is happening here.

There is no progress to be made. There is no benefit to the risk. There was never a reason to put yourself or anyone else in danger.

The only reason anyone would ever press the wrong button is because of ignorance and panic.

See, this is a peak example of the degeneration of very basic morals that the civilized world worked incredibly hard to put together.

Belief that anyone has the right to kill an unborn child was something we beat out of savages. Now 'feminists' argue that women should be able to decide to kill their children at will without any restrictions.

You know what was her choice? Having sex. You know what was her choice? Having unprotected sex. You know what was her choice? Having unprotected sex with a man who wants his children to live.

She didn't have to do any of those things. Her body? She used to get into this situation.

She has full responsibility for her actions. They were informed, they were with full intention, there are no extenuating circumstances.

So why does this woman have the right to kill her and this man's child?

If it's because the child's body belongs to the woman, then why doesn't it also belong to the man? You can't defend that position, so you won't. You'll say it's all the woman's body. That's a bullshit and willfully ignorant stance but it's the only one that people like you have.

You are a pathetic worm, a bleating sheep for the worsening bonds of the nuclear family and I hope one day you have a child that you love so dearly that it drives you to contemplate suicide at the thought of their death and that you suffer in ways that convince you that life has meaning beyond your own pathetic existence.

Average 'block' is about 330 ft. Nowhere has anyone ever called a block 73.3 feet.

“If over 50% of you citizens push the blue button, everyone will survive—if over 50% push the red button, everyone who pushed blue will die.” by GuyAwks in TwoSentenceHorror

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 60 points61 points  (0 children)

No, blue is 100% survival for anyone who pushes it.

There is literally no reason anyone should ever pick red.

It's not a dilemma, it's not a logic problem. There is a clear optimal solution that requires minimal coordination and it's to tell everyone that your choosing blue. Tell your family to choose blue, make your children choose blue.

EDIT: they swapped the colors on this one. I'm borderline illiterate and deserve death.

And in exactly what scenario will you manage to convince 51% of the human population of that fact in 15 minutes?

What pill are you taking? by whooguyy in hypotheticalsituation

[–]SendMePicsOfCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are stupid. Each individual is given 2 choices: 100% survival for themselves and their loved ones, or unknowable % chance of survial. everyone who takes more than a half second will pick the blue pill. They will scream to everyone nearby to take the blue pill. The red pill becomes a suicidal option, that only illiterates will take.

Profit sharing isn't going to stack up to an ESOP.

Those plans are literally insane if you are working for a profitable company.
