Ethical Emotivism

Your faux ethical dilemma regarding the organ transplant can only exist in a vaccum (Though you may be right that people do ENGAGE IN ethical emotivism). As I see it, your proposition isn't a singular linear line of reasoning. How you're thinking about it seems to be this: If you can -1 to +5 should you do that. But really your proposition is the intersection of several constituent elements regarding personal property rights (Does the person own their organs), consent (Is it ethical to take something from someone else without consent), authority (Is it ethical for a "We" to have authority over an individual). So, if yes (you ought to take the organs) do you have to reconcile with the constituent elements of the proposition? If it's ethical for "a group to take the organs from 1 to save 5 people" is it, then, also ethical for "a group to take the property of an individual without their consent" (in a broader sense)? Or are you just making a 1 time exception for this guy? Or is whether or not it's ethical contingent on what you're taking and whether or not you're saving lives? You see the distinction I'm trying to make, right? Maybe I'm not understanding it properly.

Hym "To me it just sounds like a repackaging of the trolley problem. And I don't see how it's incompatible with utilitarianism because if you aim to maximize pleasure then it's either a total of 1 unit of pleasure (1 person who continues to live so they can experience pleasure) or 5 units... Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying... I guess the distinction between the trolly problem and your thing IS the intersection of constituent elements. Rather than just deciding whether or not to switch the tracks you're deliberately putting a guy ON THE TRACK. So it's a little more direct I guess... You're slightly more culpable in the outcome... That's a good one though. That aside, I think ethical emotivism is something people engage in rather than the default. I do still think you can create a mathematical ethical scale. Like my thing! I kill a kid (-2), you kill me (-1), I get my stuff back (+1). That's all I got for now. Bring it back up later maybe I'll come up with something else. Hopefully that isn't too incoherent to understand."

Ethical Fumble

The botching of a romantic pursuit, usually purposefully, on ethical grounds, such as to prevent cheating on ones partner, or taking advantage of someone under the influence. It is typically done in secret without the potential romantic partner's knowledge.

Person 1: I nearly got with a baddie last night, but I knew I couldnt betray my Girlfriend like that.

Person 2: That is understandable, its an ethical fumble.

Workplace ethics

A paragraph of ethical policy that is mentioned in every offer letter that an individual signs to become an employee and is never taken notice of.

When asked about the workplace ethics of an organization, an employee appeared to be oblivious of the fact.

Ethical community engagement

Too work with a community side by side while still being ethical, understanding, conscious of who and what you are working with. Not simply following the rules that are laid out but to do actual good in someone else's home.

Harriet practices ethical community engagement not by just being king and courteous but by really treating the lower eastside with respect and dignity. Understanding the people and their culture.
