Default Re: Moral Hypothetical

[ QUOTE ]
I do acknowledge that the employees have consented, but this poses a problem in itself. At the very least, I would argue that if one were to volunteer their life, the potential tradeoff would have to provide a greater potential for saving lives. Otherwise, one does not have the moral right to dispose of themselves without the potential for a greater gain.

True I forgot to mention this in my initial answer. If you don't grant people the right to end their own life (including a bunch of assumptions like not harming others, not providing a greater gain, etc. etc.) then ya I agree A is obvious.
