    deontologists still get splattered, even if it’s the correct choice.

      but they have no responsibility for the circumstances.

        Didn’t say they did. People die none the less. If that’s acceptable that’s fine, but call it what it is: An acceptable loss.

          it is immoral to flip the switch and murder someone. that doesn’t make the situation acceptable

            I don’t disagree, it doesn’t change that you need to own the bodies as an acceptable loss.

                doesn’t make much difference to the bodies

                  except that you’re not locked in a booth, so there actually are things you can do besides pull a lever.

                    I’m done with this, but no, there was not. I respect and acknowledge anyone choosing a protest, I really do. I’m a registered libertarian for gods sakes. There we two choices, one was going to win, the other wasn’t. If the reason someone allowed people to die was because less people would die in the future so be it, when it came down to it, that was the only choice on the table. Would have loved if it was different, but it wasn’t. You don’t get to avoid the splatter.
