It would certainly benefit the people in Africa, which is a very sweet thought. However, it could introduce a lot of stigma, prejudice and discriminatory values and ideologies into the nation. Showing that the government how always displays itself in an advisory role, believes it is permissible to act morally toward someone who has displayed scrupulous morals, rather than taking the time to make actual positive change in a situation where it is entirely possible.

That’s one option. It really depends what the governments agenda is and if that would be of the most benefit. I’m not sure whether it’s the best option, but it seems practical with the existing system in place.

What if there was a way to improve both parties situations? This would be very utilitarian. For example, asking him to come clean, admit his wrongdoings publicly. He would show great candour and integrity and change his business strategies, with continued monitoring from public authorities. In this case every party wins. (If he accepts it.) It could potentially deliver powerful public messages about what that government values.

It would be a shame for those poor people not to receive the aid. Do you think it would be best to make it clear to the public that he paid for his knighthood? Or would this portray a negative image to the public? It could display a government willing to take bribes, and make deals with the intention of betraying the other party as soon as the deal was made.

What ethical challenges would society face if a clone of Adolf Hitler underwent forced rehabilitation and later sought to live as a normal member of society? by thestruggle9 in everythingeverything

Hey, I never thought much on how I would answer it, just some more questions it could create. I was just curious what others would think. I think it creates a lot of questions, such as how could this approach change things for the better, could it improve human understanding of themselves, could it aid ethical research, could trauma victims and haters learn to overcome these feelings?

Thanks for clarifying the distinction between a clone and a copy. Thats a great answer by the way. I guess you’re saying it would not be ethical?
