Came to mind because Mortal Kombat 1 is one of the greediest fighting games I’ve ever seen, with the recent announcement of a $12 Halloween fatality plus all characters + DLC adding up to $118, so I’m assuming it’s because Warner Bros/Netherrealm Studios just wants more bonus money, so I’m genuinely curious how that whole thought process came to be, and if there’s any way for society as a whole to counteract that, or is it simply built into capitalism and we’re stuck with this forever.
Edit: I didn’t buy MK1, just know people who did because I go to tournaments
If you have the ability to save five people and chose not to, isn't that still murder?
Your Christian moral framing doesn't work here beacause Christianity will just teaches you to jump on the track yourself. I don't think self-sacrifice is a fundamental rule in business.
Not looking for holes just that I never like the train dilemma because its stupid and always required some moronic details to make it more complicated than it is. The answer is always to sacrifice one person to save five because that how we as a species survive. The old must be must be sacrificed to protect the young, the strong for the vulnerable (remember woman and children first?).
I'm sorry if I came across like some cringe atheist but I just don't think this is a good scenario to ask for some Christian perspective. Either option you choose, there will still be blood on your hand and I knew enough Christians in my life that would jump on the track to save as much people as they can even if it would cost their life.
So ask your business professor to came up with better moral dilemmas.
Does the men have a choice as they get drafted and forced to fight for their country? Does the men have a choice as they have to do hazardous jobs to keep their city functional? Does the men have a choice as they have to go to the woods and hunt for their family?
Men made sacrifices for the “greater good” all the time, the greater good of our family, of our society. It doesn’t matter if you’re not fine with it, you will do it since no one else would. Consent is nonsensical talk because men never have a choice to begin with.
So my answer is if that “greater good” is my family, yes I would because it is my duty as a husband and a father. If that “greater good” is this society, hell no.
