Based Ethics

numbers? Those possessing the
greatest rank and power?
2) One cannot know if one has done the right thing until the action is
completed.

about our
predictions and decisions. Do the ends justify the means?

importance, not the consequences.

Lying to save a life.
d. Very difficult way of life. Example: Choosing to tell a would-be

the location of the intended victim because being honest is
always the right thing to do.
