and variations like the organ and fat man to be a matter of categorical vs. consequentialist thinking?
If I push a fat man off a bridge that's a freaking homicide, ain't it? That's a different consequence from pulling a lever to divert a trolley from a mass of bodies. That's why I don't push the fat man. It's a different consequence. Even if it wasn't illegal to be pushing perfectly innocent people off a bridge, that's a freaking different consequence, isn't it? Common sense, anybody?
I don't understand philosophers. Do they have a mental problem if they can't see these scenarios as having radically different outcomes? Utilitarians also have a mental problem as I see it if they evaluate outcomes strictly in terms of criteria as simple as Hedonic calculus.
