    生...或死...


    生,或死,这是个问题。

     

    5个探险家在洞穴探险时遇到山崩,岩石封住了洞口。探险家们携带的食物有限,洞内也没有可吃的动物或植物。在吃完所有的食物后,探险家们决定用一位同伴的身体来保全其他同伴的生命。他们用抓阄的方式选中了威特莫尔,然后吃掉他。32天后,营救获得成功,活下来的4位探险家被指控犯有谋杀罪。法官判定谋杀罪成立;4位被告不服,向最高法院提出上诉。

     

    这是1949年《哈佛法律评论》中虚拟的故事。

     

    是牺牲少数人而为大多数人带来幸福?还是尊重道德和生命,任何时候都不把他人当作工具?这是个问题。

     

    我们中国人是功利主义者。大饥荒中,人相食的情况很常见,大家不以为怪,也没人想合理不合理。不吃,大家都得死;吃,还有几个能活下来。都说中国人道德感强,我可不这么认为。

     

    人民赋予政府权力去判断牺牲与获得的界限。但政府是否尽到了义务?如果没有,人民是否可以收回权力?

     

    当然,独裁的政府是不需要人民赋予权利的。或者说,独裁下,人民没有权力。天赋人权,原本就是一种信仰,而不是一种存在。

     

    亚里士多德说:美德是在具体情境中作正确的事的习性,需要童年时的教育和成年后的练习。

     

    其实,美德,也是一种信仰。

    威特莫尔若先自殺就沒谋杀罪的問題,
    頂多是毀壞屍體的罪.
