Inconsistent Ethics are not Ethical at all

on 3/10/09

One thing that really bothers me is when people are inconsistent in their positions on issues.
Example: Being anti-abortion and being pro-war. Life is life.


A new one that is gaining popularity:
Being anti-stem cell research and being pro-questionable interrogation techniques.

If you are against harming a human life to help advance scientific research and possibly save lives, then you have to be against harming a human life to help advance defense intelligence and possibly save lives.

Simple. Consistent.
