In principle, we are all morally obliged to be as virtuous as we can, to follow the good and avoid evil. But there are exceptions to this general rule? In most cases (not saying that at all), the answer, in my opinion, is no. However, many people say yes.
few days ago a man appeared on television (with his face hidden) proudly displaying weapons and drugs with which traficab
a. In addition, interviews with journalists had place on the stairs of the building where he lived, even from neighbors! Obviously, after the issuance of the images on television, police intervened and arrested office this "skull previlegiado" crime.
But I left the subject, what matters here is that, in the reporter's question on whether the offender intended to continue with their criminal activities, he responded: "of course, is what feeds me and my family" . In short, this guy was considered morally entitled to extend the suffering, violence and pain, with the excuse that he and his family must eat. Is it true that reasoning? I think absolutely not.
But there are more examples in which there is a similar reasoning. For example, when the paparazzi harass any person and they, rightly, protest, the "journalists" or "researchers today," defend themselves by saying they are doing their job ... I work as sad, disturbing the others!
That I do not excuse it. By the same token, we should stop doing the assassin who has been entrusted with our murder: it is their job.
I continue with other cases: the desperate do you have right to kill themselves, knowing the pain they cause? In this case, doubts are much higher, since in many cases their life is hell, unbearable. The Catholic Church speaks on this matter at its Catechism: suicide is always wrong, but the circumstances in which it occurs may be an important mitigating factor. That is, according to the Church, even in this case of extreme personal suffering are free to follow virtue. In the case of euthanasia, the Church's reasoning is similar. In these last two cases, my doubts are much higher. Complex
these issues in the consciousness of each one plays a role.
I am very interested to know what their views on the issue, So I welcome your comments.
