Fantastic ethical conundrum presented from Reddit, I'm still thinking about it

[Malta]

The most immoral, unethical and repugnant act I can think of? ..................Well....if I'm being honest..........

I'm sorry.

......I'd do it. Right in the nose, too. Over and over until I got tired. Can't think of anything worse.

I can't imagine all my loved ones hating my guts for the rest of my life......having them hate me would just have me like ...even worse is knowing that it'll NEVER stop, either

The baby gotta take one for the team. I wouldn't enjoy it one bit either, for the record.

I'd make sure to turn hardcore Christian afterwards too......and hope God could forgive me and let me in heaven anyway

I'm not about to ruin a child's life to avoid having people think less of me

Basically a question of how your morality is defined. I personally don't believe in the biblical rules and shaming that morality is ultimately rooted from so answer A is easy for me to chose.

Once you look past the negative consequences, answer A has a more positive side to it. You come out a monster to yourself but also a hero to yourself at the same time because you know you've only done something heinous for the most noble of reasons(going with Meachs answer, which is the only justifiable reason any normal non-sociopathic, non-psychopathic person would choose A). You are sparing yourself from the equally heinous nature and acts that come from human judgement, but more importantly you spare your loved ones from going thru it while also preserving a normal way of life.

So even if it came out or I even admitted what I did, I think i can expect a better number of ppl to understand WHY I did it. With choice B a thought comes to mind...perception is reality. Of course your family and friends MIGHT forgive and forget over time but how long would u live as a pariah? Also I guess it matters how close you feel with your loved ones and which loved ones you have around...I personally have teenage kids and so I'd NEVER want them to view me as that kind of monster. My parents are dead but if they were alive I'd NEVER want them to view me as that kind of monster. I'd only pick B if I was batting a thousand when it came to being a morally perfect human being....yea good luck with that
