I don't know what to make of that photo with the KKK guy and the black surgeons. It's so ironic it's almost funny.

At the risk of starting a 'heated' discussion, I don't think I would save the life of someone like him. Why should I? The world is a better place without him.

Great iconic photos from history: http://www.funbazaar...-these-pics.htm

Some cool photos. The Challenger didn't explode though, it broke apart. Whenever someone asks me about the worst way to die, I think of the people on board the Challenger. The part of the shuttle where the crew were housed survived the separation and remained intact for almost 3 minutes afterwards. In fact, the speed from lift-off was so great that it kept going upwards for another 30 seconds. They then fell helplessly to their deaths from 65, 000 feet for over 2 minutes. The whole story of the Challenger is fascinating-from the incompetence and shortsightedness of parts of NASA to the brilliance of Richard Feynman.

Morale high road. You are the better person, so why let someone die by proxy? In this scenario would the world be better with selfless doctors that will try their hardest no matter the patient or one extra KKK member? You don't save them because of who they are, you save then because of who you are.

No disrespect, but that sounds like you took it from some lame Hollywood movie :P

Seriously though, that statement is self contradictory. By the words of Nietzsche: "Moral is the daughter of selfishness". True selflessness (ie something you do that you don't benefit in any way from and no body knows about) is logically immoral, and in my honest opinion just plain naive.

I do not see the contradiction at all.

Niesztche also said that when you fight monsters soon you become one yourself. Let's say the doctors let the KKK member die as an act of defiance, to strike a blow against them. They would be as guilty of murder than those that lynched mobbed others.

Guilty of killing people in lunch mobs.

Guilty of betraying their hippocratic oath and allowing patients to die.

I'm also kind of offended that some mock my own personal philosophy.
