Test Omission bias and the doctrine of double effect
Agenda
QUESTION 1: What is "omission bias"?
The belief that we are equally responsible for action and inaction
The tendency to believe that we are less responsible for harm caused by our inaction
The doctrine that distinguishes between intended and unintended consequences
The need to use a person as a means to an end
QUESTION 2: What distinguishes the "doctrine of double effect"?
Damage caused by action, damage caused by inaction
Rational decisions from emotional ones
The omission bias of action bias
The intended and unintended consequences of an action (collateral damage)
QUESTION 3: In Scenario A (pulling the lever), how is the death of the worker who is alone considered according to the doctrine of double effect?
As an intended negative consequence, but not the direct intention (collateral damage)
As the necessary means to achieve the end
As a morally unacceptable action
As a consequence of inaction
QUESTION 4: Why is the situation in Scenario B (pushing the man) morally more problematic according to this doctrine?
Because more people die
Because the main intention is bad
Because the death of man is not collateral damage, but the necessary means to achieve the end
Because inaction is the only morally acceptable option
QUESTION 5: What does the doctrine of double effect hold to be morally more acceptable?
Performing an evil action to achieve a good end
Never act to avoid responsibility
Causing intentional harm to prevent unintentional harm
Performing a good action that has an unintended bad consequence
QUESTION 6: What ethical point of view opposes omission bias?
The idea that the decision not to act is also a decision with consequences for which we are responsible
The belief that inaction never has consequences
The doctrine of double effect
The idea that direct action is always worse than inaction
QUESTION 7: In Scenario B, the direct intention is
Save the five workers
Use the man's body to stop the train
