Practical(and Logical) vs Ethical Decisions In 1842, a ship struck an iceberg, and more than 30 survivors were crowded into a lifeboat intended to hold seven. As a storm threatened, it became obvious that the lifeboat would have to be lightened if anyone were to survive. The captain reasoned that the right thing to do in this situation was to force some individuals to go over the side and drown. Such an action, he reasoned, was not unjust to those thrown overboard, for they would have drowned anyway. If he did nothing, however, he would be responsible for the deaths of whom he could have saved. They claimed that if nothing were done and everyone died as a result, no one would be responsible for these deaths. On the other hand, if the captain attempted to save some, he could only do so by killing others, and the deaths would be his responsibility; this would be worse than doing nothing and letting all die. The captain rejected this reasoning. Since the only possibility for rescue required great efforts of rowing, the captain decided the weakest would have to be sacrificed. In this situation, it would be absurd, he thought of drawing lots who should be thrown overboard. 1. Did the captain make the right decision? 2. What other choices could the captain have made?
