Nobody will expect that you'll risk your life in order to prevent that a building will burn down, if there's nobody in the building. But if you need to take only a bucket with water in order to extinguish a little fire and to save the building, you need to do so. Responsibility is also a matter of degree in this sense. This sounds quite economical, but I think that we have to look for a more or less objective measure of responsibility in this direction.<BR/>I think it will be very difficult to find objective rules for this problem. Something may have value in one culture and not in another one. Something may have less value than it had ten years ago. And so on. What is worth to risk your life for is changing from time to time, from place to place. But if we take the human rights as a starting point, maybe it will be possible to develop rules. Besides that, rules may be developed by discussing essential cases, a bit like it is done in the Anglosaxon juridical system.HbdWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358668804898517772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398699458159756321.post-4667856564235635102008-10-28T16:06:00.000+01:002008-10-28T16:06:00.000+01:00So, resuming we are morally responsible for allo...So, resuming we are morally responsible for allowing when we could prevent without risk, we have "“reasonable” possibility to intervene."<BR/>So the limit of responsibility is own (or another person) protection? Right?<BR/>Is that rule? Or maybe<BR/>we should just now clearly resume it and create general rules which should be obvious for evereyone-objective, clear and universally valid.We shoulld create short principle. we should too concretize the meaning of allowing by doing sens of it narrow.oldyrekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005513639154044332noreply@blogger.com
