You are able to help some people, but unfortunately you can only do so by harming other people. The number of people harmed will always be 10 percent of those helped. When considering whether it is morally justified to help does the actual number of people involved make any difference? For example, does it make a difference if you are helping ten people by harming one person rather than helping 100,000 people by harming 10,000 people?

strictly utilitywise no. but eventually you do hit a hard cap on how many people exist. and trying to “help” any more of that while hurting more is strictly lower util than a worse option

bad question

the terms are far too broad to make na actual informed decision on whether it is moral
“help” could be like give them $10 and hurt could be like kill their family or smthn

it doesn’t matter in the sense that the answer is the same either way, but the more people are involved the worse it is to not help the people
