Test Your Morality

I do question the bold statement (emphasis mine). Since this is a thread regarding morailty, would you like to expand upon the means that your "prospectors" might use to obtain those goods?

For instance, would they forcibly remove them from the possesion of another, not in your group, that also had the same need?

A great question NTM. The answer is "no" basically and I guess it actually has much to do with morals. Part of prospecting would be bartering, offering goods or possible services for items of need. But if their answer is "no deal", then the hunt for the needed items would continue. I'd have to consider that an encounter with said individual could be a boon in itself in the way of a new ally or possible trade connection even if a deal wasn't reached at that time.

Edit for expansion: If I were to come up upon a corpse with the necessary items there would be no qualms about taking things. But I'm not going to just kill someone for their goods, there's no point in being in executioner, life will work out everyone's end by its own means.

So you're ok with limits being placed on health care costs to extend the life of those with debatable quality of life in order to improve the economic conditions for the rest of us?

YES, I understand the dangers of cyber space.....I do NOT do face-book,twitter,texting,or any of the OTHER social media. My participation on PC and 285bound are the extent of my social media. I understand that EVERY google search is tracked and that privacy
is NON-existent.....

HUGE topic....my views are NOT main-stream.....I believe the body is just a vessel and YOU (soul) remain intact. The vessel should
be allowed to "go",for YOU are not the sum total of the lump in the hospital bed......in other words, YES.....healthcare costs would be
more manageable if the general populace, the doctors and specialists could come to an understanding that preserving life AT ALL COSTS is not prudent,nor wanted(in my case.).......probably TMI,huh?

It's a morality thread... no such thing as TMI, and nothing is off limits.

Besides, I agree with you.

If it cost me $100 k or more to preserve my life for even just a few hours, I would do it just to make sure my rotten kids don't get the money.

This clearly means I didn't make them a corpse, because I wouldn't leave anything of use.
