Religious Education: Ethics 101


In a typical GCSE ethics question you are asked to consider if "Is killing someone every morally right?"

Working in groups, I would like you to formulate arguments for and against a moral case for killing.

You should consider the following areas:

  • War
  • Self-Defence
  • Trespass
  • To prevent greater harm e.g. suicide bomber
  • To prevent further suffering e.g. terminally ill relative
  • Regime overthrow e.g. Iraq, Tunisia
