I'd say they're a good basis for every-day life. Your examples are extreme and would have to be weighed up individually. I agree but that would be a persons individual morality overriding the societal morality (if they decided to murder or steal). I find it interesting where the line is drawn, my examples were extreme but there are everyday examples which wouldn't be extreme. A person stealing when they are starving for example?

I am a tad right-wing with morality. leave me in a locked room with a proven kiddy-fddler and morals would not be given a second thought. life in jail for some crimes is a total let-off. I'd happily pull the trigger on a lot of people. Others wouldn't. Personally, I would find it difficult to let a convicted rapist out of jail to re-offend.

Why does everyone want to kill Hitler? Churchill vetoed a plan to assassinate Hitler not on moral grounds but because he was making such a hash of the war. Churchill was afraid his successor would be harder to beat. I don't understand why the Far Right admire Hitler amongst his many obvious moral failings and faults he was also an incompetent leader.

You would not be able to predict the outcome of killing an individual. Over the course of history, a whole load of outcomes would result which would most likely be good and bad but potentially disastrous.

The murdering Hitler idea goes beyond just theory. Hitler claimed a British soldier showed him mercy in W.W.l and claimed he recignized him via a picture. The Tommy's name was Henry Tandy. How would you live with that in your mind?

The point of the thread was about morality. Therefore is it moral to kill one person to save thousands? Would it be moral to kill a known kiddie-fiddler who is about to molest a child? My personal morality (which I think guides me more than societal morality) would say yes. I'm sure some peoples morals would stop them killing under any circumstances.

It's a difficult thing to decide. I'm glad that I've never had to make the decision.
