Given both options leave capitalism intact I am not sure this can tell us anything much.

[Aella @Aella_Girl]

How do you feel about capitalism? || If you push the button, the avg wealth (and associated living standard) of everyone in the world decreases by 3%, BUT ALSO the top 0.1% wealthiest people in the world lose 99% of their net worth, it just vanishes. Do you press button?

Is there an analogy to be drawn between decriminalising women who end their own pregnancies and decriminalising suicide? In both cases assistance remains a criminalised. Significant differences is the act, motivation etc.

[Nathan Emmerich @BioethicsUK]

@garycox01 @Docstockk So, either not a criteria of personhood or pigs are also persons? All that is required for capacity to feel and suffer is sentience. Don’t need personhood for that. I don’t think Singer has much of to do with any particular concept of personhood. He recognises diff. capacities.

@daisyldixon Surely unethical. Should have put it on in solidarity.

If the same thinking applies to multi millionaires, say those with half a billion, then it would indeed seem there is something wrong with billionaires.

[Amanda Askell @AmandaAskell]

My take on the ethics of billionaires:

- Making billions of dollars: morally fine (sometimes bad, often good)
- Keeping billions of dollars: morally bad (children are dying yo)
- Giving away billions of dollars: morally awesome (you save many people, you deserve much praise)

How long do elevator ride commonly take? And how long does one ordinarily stay in a conference room?

[Maarten De Cock @mdc_martinus]

“…this study investigated the airborne transmission of respiratory diseases in the hospital elevator by comparison to the conference room.”

“The results showed that the infection probability in the elevator with 5 min was higher than that in the conference room with 50 min.”
