I'd sacrifice myself for him. If he's exactly like me, we will probably argue about who gets to sacrifice themselves for whom.

Here is a tricky one I think. You wake up in a room with a stranger. They are also as much confused as you are. You talk for a bit and you both seem to be quite like-minded with also roughly the same amount of skill and goals. You both have the same clothes and a loaded pistol. However, an intercom comes online giving you the following message: Only one of you may escape, the other must die. If you both refuse to kill one another, a large group of armed men will arrive and shoot you both. You will have an incredibly small chance to stand against this wave, but it will be most unlikely. What shall you do? I'd try to kill him. If he really were "exactly" like me, he'd probably try the same Also, you added the chance of surviving the men as an option, but wouldn't that mean you'd kill way more people if you were to fend of the attack? I don't think anyone will pick the "Save a complete stranger who might become a close friend by killing a whole group of people" option. I mean , the group of people probably know what they were in for . Kidnapping two people and killing them is not exactly something a nice person would do imo .

Maybe they were told they should murder the two, or a bigger wave would come in and kill them... The rabbit hole gets deeper...

Hey I actually realised you're a big moral issue these days. No one is the rightful heir of the Malak. Malak are actually independent beings and you shouldn't chain them down to humans. The malak are spiritual beings. Actually, the revelation of large amounts of malak to the common people caused the great holy war and almost the apocalypse of all of Midgand, causing Malak to develop negative attitudes towards humans. So please reconsider.

Here's quite a controversial currently debated moral question. So...Technology in identifying risk factors in the human genome has expanded a lot in the past few decades and testing for chromosonal disorders like Down's Syndrome and Huntington's disease has slowly been moving into the mainstream provided to new parents. This has brought up the question of "If you know for a fact that your child will be born with an illness that may vex immensely for the rest of their natural life, and you have the option to abort the child before they are born with this disorder, should you let the live with the disorder and treat it as a fact of their life they may overcome or should you abort them so they will never suffer because they are never born?

I'd say you should abort it , but I see no problem with abortion in general so this situation isn't really tricky for me . I think it really depends on if you're pro-choice or pro-life

I think the problem arises when you make that line. How far should we go to prevent having children with ailments. Could you do the same with children susceptible to depression? autism? an eye color or race that we do not prefer?

The issue with abortion is all about population statistics too I think. Like of course people want to have babies but honestly birth is just biological reaction and people shouldnt be forced to have a baby when they dont want to. So many single mothers and things can happen and this just causes generations that are stuck in a capitalistic class system that forces them to be bottom feeders for a society that allows most of its wealth to be accumulated by 1% of the population. Basically the only thing stopping abortion is the crazy thing we shouldnt mention here but it starts with and R and ends with an N and lets not speak of that stuff again, lest we be called heathens.

I mean I was mostly thinking about terrible defects that shorten someone's life significantly and makes him/her live in pain. But there is nothing wrong with abortion because of the things you named, as long as nobody gets forced to do it. The only problematic thing I see is aborting because of race, but then again how do you even get pregnant from a person you think is inferior to you because of his race ?

I hope nobody here opposes abortion if the pregnant person is a rape victim. But, like omicron said, I doubt that the main reason for that woman to abort would be the ethnic background of the rapist.

I think thats exactly how the mainstream media wants the masses to think about it. There's underlying ethnicity issues that psychologists know but wont say because no one will believe I think personally. But if we just allow it eitherway, i think it should be fine, let the judgement be done by the mom. Better that than a baby growing up unloved.

I think that this would be acceptable,we can create life that could live on inhabitable planets just to give a little boost for other life forms or we could use it to know the origin of our species
