>>14137521This is just a domain specific fact. Is it murder if some forced draftee is shot in his first day of engagement? Ethically, it's very difficult to say "no". But obviously, we also regard this as a much less shocking form of murder than a cold blooded murder for the purpose of filming a snuff film so others can jack off to it.
Via this construction, it becomes evident that such topics are not just 1 or 2 dimensional, but multi-dimensional. There are at least the axes of:
- ethics as informed by whatever the providing context (e.g. ethics as unreflected adoption of wider social norms, ethics as unreflected adoption of judicial laws, ethics that were actually decided upon by the agent, etc.)
- situational appropriateness
- transgression (drafted soldier vs innocent child)
- degree of cultural-mores distortion (e.g. women's sexuality being extremely incorporated into such views outside pure ethical concerns)
- discourse giving the false impression rape is regarded as more urgent, when this might just be an artifact of more implicit understanding surrounding murder (not least of all what it even *is*)
- murder being the crime without any surviving victims
