Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few?

Statisticians claim that this will allow them to do so if more people can benefit from not hurting them. In other words, you, personal, too small, not important. Individual groups are more important. However, this type of assertion can not bear a strict review.

Do you think that it is good for the state to kill your loved ones and to allow their organs to be harvested to save other lives? After all, the heart, the two kidneys, the liver, and various other body parts will benefit more lives than the lost lives.

The idea of ​​hurting some people and bringing benefits to many people does not go well. According to its logical conclusion, it has created a murder permission. Indeed, logic has been used millions of times in this conclusion. The number of people killed by the state exceeds the sum of all individual criminals.

"Does the logic clearly state that the needs of many people outweigh the needs of a few people?" Logic needs some evidence to support this claim - but Spock supports this I did not provide any evidence to do. He just insisted on that. Which is "plenty"? Which is "small"? Who is the "over" size? For what? Who is right for you? Why is he or their interest a legitimate benefit? Spock did not solve these problems; he insisted that logic clearly defined his conclusion. But it is not so

Should our ethics come from the Star Trek Thought School? As Spock said, "Is there a lot of people having more than a few or a few people," or is the individual most important? If a person is about to die in a crash accident, should they be allowed to die to survive? How about the two? 50? thousand? Does society exceed individuals or "one person" always dominates?

It is a good time to evaluate or reevaluate the frequent occurrence of Star Trek's claims now in "Star Trek" released in the DVD in the dark this week, "The needs of many people exceed the needs of several people "(Or" 1 "). This statement is made in various scenes of the movie including the latest scene. First consider some examples and related background. As the company (ship) is about to face the risk of injury, Spock enters a highly radioactive compartment to repair the ship's drive so that the crew can escape the danger. Spock immediately disappeared, and last breath, not sad, Admiral. This is logical. The needs of many people are more than that ... Kirk completed for him. "The needs of a few people." Spock replied, "That's it."
