I wouldnt do it, ppl dont deserve it

#18472

my answer is no and I still think that how much it helps and hurts does matter but ya I didnt realize it was a question of ā€œdoes the scale matterā€

#18473

im writing down yes

You own an unoccupied property. You are contacted by a refugee group which desperately needs somewhere to house a person seeking asylum who is being unjustly persecuted in a foreign country. Your anonymity is assured. You have every reason to believe that no harm will come to your property. Are you morally obliged to allow them to use your property?

Strongly Obliged
Weakly Obliged
Not Obliged

i mean. if the utility of curing a person is equal to the negative utility of preventing a person from walking. then you have a net positive and increasing the scale scales up that net positive and makes it better.

but if the negative utility was higher enough than the positive to make it a net negative then it would be scaling up a negative and making things worse.

bad question

then yes because once you do this alchemical transmutation you can take 100 people as sacrificial lambs to cure the 10000 sacrifices. then take 1 person to sacrifice for the 100. so in the end one person is sacrificed for any number of people, and not even permanently. they can just be first in the next list of people and be cured. they can have a social position of a martyr and receive lots of benefits

If you have a disability you need to spend a while being mad about having a disability at first. So if you change who is disabled all those people need to be mad about it for a while all at once. Very disruptive
