Lockdown: Did Government Do the Right Thing?
No Customer Reviews
Are lockdowns unethical? You're standing beside a train track, and feel the vibration of an oncoming train. Ahead of you, five innocent people are tied to the rails, screaming for your help. You can save them. But there's a catch... Pull a nearby lever, and the oncoming train will be diverted. But there's a woman tied to the other track. Are you willing to kill her to save the others? Government locked down to save vulnerable lives, while forcing businesses to close their doors. Did Government pull the right lever? Two philosophers use moral principles to debate whether the pandemic justifies a lockdown. If you enjoy Pop Philosophy that is easily accessible and makes you think, you'll love this book.
