Abstract
A doctor must make a moral decision. He works in a hospital and has five deathly ill patients to look after. Each patient needs one organ to stay alive. A pizza delivery man enters the hospital. The delivery man is an organ match for all of the patients who are desperate and in need. The doctor considers using chloroform on the pizza delivery man, which is a toxic yet sweet-smelling liquid that changes into a vapor and causes unconsciousness when inhaled. The doctor could then cut the man up into parts in order to save the lives of his patients. There is a perceived low risk of being detected for murder. The doctor has a chance to take the life of one man in order to save five others, with little to no chance of being caught or incarcerated.
Should the doctor take a man's life in order to save the lives of five others- especially without consent and a low risk of allegations of crime, and punishment?
