1) It is morally permissible to sacrifice the life of an innocent person to save the lives of many other innocent people.

2) The instance starting the thread is an instance of sacrificing the life of one innocent person to save the lives of many other innocent people.
----

3. It is morally permissible to sacrifice the life of the individual described in the opening passage of this thread.

I have defended my conclusion with an argument. I really don't understand what more anyone could want!

Unimpressed by the force of anonymousj's proof of his/her moral judgement? Wait till you see his/her Proof of the Existence of God!

If I have your argument/position correct , Strawberry ^^^^ your earlier post aloft, I agree w/ you that Earth will be a better place when humankind become extinct, under our own or other auspices; so that other organisms can have a turn. Although ,sadly, if we extinguish ourselves, we may take everything else w/ us. I'm counting on those Pacific oceanfloor hotvent tubeworms tho.

Hey! what is the point of living alone?

There is no morality if only one person is living, how much more if none exist? What is the use of being moral if only one exists, or nothing exists?
