It's my lucky boat.Are ya feeling lucky, punk?

Here's another hypothetical.Thing is you dont know. You can only make decision based of what you can see and current knowledge.
The lady is pregnant. That's all you know about her.
The convict you can discern he is dangerous, or why else would he be in handcuffs?
If I am in the boat,It's my lucky boat.
If the idea is that human life starts at conception, then by the rules, the pregnant woman is two people and cannot be brought on board.Hypothetical situation.
You're airplane has crash landed in the ocean. Luckily the airline you used is one of the few that provides inflatable life rafts. You begin helping survivors onto the life raft. But it's almost full. You have only 1 spot left and the raft is at capacity. 2 survivors left asking for help.
One is a pregnant lady.
The other is a convicted killer in cuffs struggling to stay afloat.
Make your choice.

Well, I don't know. Assuming that the flight crew was acting professionally, they would be the ones to make the choice.
Just as long as they don't run out of coffee.
Think of other people as potential food.I am not, I repeat NOT, prepared to share a few feet of space with another human being for what could well be weeks on end. I don't even like eating in front of other people.
It is perfectly logical reasoning following the rules and using the idea that some claim about the start of human life. I am just exposing a loophole.that's ridiculous
That would favor bringing aboard the pregnant woman.Think of other people as potential food.

What if the felon is leaner & larger?That would favor bringing aboard the pregnant woman.
All starving people become savages.Do you take me for a savage?
You need a proper oven along with a well-stocked spice cabinet if you're going to make it a worthwhile meal.

I had to read this a few times - to convince myself that the last word wasn't 'sausage'...anyway, I chose the pregnant lady - 'cos it seems right and it seems to me that seeming right is the basis of moral decision-making.Do you take me for a savage?

Even Hillary would chow down on Donald when hunger calls.
Perhaps so, but far from ridiculous. Of course, she might take up more space than a woman of similar age and build or even a convicted killer. It would also depend on how close she was to giving birth. We were not given information on the size of the space or the size of the women or the convict, merely that there was space for one more.Not a loophole.
Because in the real situation a pregnant woman is not going to occupy the space of 2 people unlike in your loophole.
But baby is tender. Give me my baby back, baby back, baby back.What if the felon is leaner & larger?
How do you think she would serve him? What kind of sides go with trump roast?All starving people become savages.
