Question 125 pts
In one or two paragraphs, compare and contrast how you believe TWO of the three theorists covered this week (Aristotle, Kant, Mill) would have to say about the following scenario:
Suppose that four people find themselves in a lifeboat with just enough food and water to keep three of the four people alive until they reach safety. Also suppose that the boat can support the weight of four people, but since the weight of the supplies is roughly equal to the weight of a person, the boat will quickly sink. If they do nothing, all four people will drown. If they sacrifice the supplies, all four people will starve to death. Unless someone goes overboard, there is no chance of survival. Morally speaking, what should they do?
