In Scrubs, Dr. Elliot Reid tries to encourage a teenage patient to raise his heart rate. When her verbal attempts fail, she lifts her shirt to show her chest, which immediately triggers the heart monitor's alarm.

Like if I didnt know murder was a thing and my brother was being annoying I'd ALSO hit him in the head with a rock.

Edit: Gears of War 2

Tai Kaliso was known as the “Indestructible Tai”, a hopeful and powerful warrior who seemed to survive just about everything the Locust threw at him. After buying another soldier time to escape, he was captured, tortured, and “processed” resulting in the breaking of his spirit and body.

Our protagonist (Marcus Fenix) knows enemy reinforcements are close; they’re behind enemy lines in unfamiliar territory, so he turns away from Tai after handing him a shotgun and begins barking orders.

Tai is visibly mutilated, with gashes across his body and metal rings pierced through his skin. Marcus obviously didn’t have much time to asses the situation, as all of them were in danger.

This scene has weighed heavy on me since I played all those years ago. I don’t think there’s necessarily a clear reason to disparage Marcus, as the world they live in is brutal and Tai seemed to be the only one with any semblance of hopefulness; but, I also wonder if the situation could have been any different if Tai was given enough time to find his footing.

There is, of course, the likelihood that there was simply no hope for Tai, as their situation was dire even for people who hadn’t been subjected to such horrors. I’m curious as to the thoughts of others on the matter.

If I were in this situation and I hypothetically knew about the mother's socioeconomic status, I would personally turn a blind eye and go about my day like nothing happened. Stealing is wrong, but children going hungry is even worse.

Morality of whatever this is?

Edit so I don't have to keep replying to each comment

The kid is known to get extremely close before swerving away at the last second. He is literal inches before colliding before swerving

He is known to do this It is insane how close he gets. I have seen a lot of clips of him Like not even a foot away

Now and Then, Here and There is a 1999 13 episode show about Shuu a japanese preteen maybe 12/13 here who gets forced into a child soldier unit in another post apocalpytic earth and refuses to kill throughout the show. the very loud hopeful MC tries to convince sara a american fellow isekai victim who gets raped by a soldier to not kill herself because as long your alive good things will come to you. it's over when you die. and so blocks her rock bludgeons with his hand until she tired out and gave up. Do you think this boy should have let her kill herself and the baby. and not say stuff like all life is precious?

What is the morality of not saving someone in this situation but laughing.

Context:

Dorothy was a sheltered teenager and daughter of a politician, when the alien machine-like horror called Raptures attacked humanity. Conventional weaponry proved insufficient and the conscripted male population was depleting fast. She volunteered for an experimental supersoldier program that would inject her brain with nanomachines and then transplant it into an artifical body created by alien tech, turning her into a Nikke (cyborg). Being among the first successful conversions and showing promising capabilities, she would be designated as Grimm's Model 02.

Joining the Goddess Squad a.k.a. Mankind's last hope, she would fight on the frontline against the nemesis of mankind for years, bringing victory and giving hope to anyone who saw her figure. However, the war alone couldn't be won by her small group. Her leader and other core members died or vanished, making her the new acting leader.

Due humanity's impending doom, the United Forces of Humanity (now Central Government) decided that remaining humanity must flee underground. They would need the Goddess Squad to defend the gates until the Ark was sealed (Operation Ark Guardian). With no further support, Dorothy would lead her remaining Squad members and hundreds of more volunteering Nikke into a last stand.

Despair, death and destruction would become a daily sight. Not only did many millions of refugees fail to enter the Ark and die on their way, but Dorothy was entirely left to her own devices in executing the defense. With increasing casualties, no further orders or material support by the government, morale ran low and Dorothy's closest allies began losing hope.

But Dorothy remained always hopeful and persevering, believing in the government's promise, that she and her sister-in-arms were to be welcomed back, praised and rewarded for their efforts and achievements. She kept her squad from falling apart, and together with the other defending forces (who all died eventually) she would successfully defend the Ark. The last refuge of humanity was sealed and secured. But instead of fulfilling their promise, the government left Dorothy and her sister-in-arms to die on the surface. Betraying and abandoning them.

Initially keen on ripping the door of it's hinges and storming in, Dorothy would be persuaded by her squadmates to leave humanity alone. Her squad accepts their fate, disperses and tries to find a way in killing the Rapture Queen, thus ending the war and allowing humanity to someday return to the surface. But Dorothy is unable to move on and keep fighting for the sake of humanity. Deeply hurt, Dorothy vows for vengeance against humanity. She would create a new refuge called Eden. Make it stronger and better. Recruit both humans and Nikke who were wronged by the the government and society. She would exploit the Ark's weaknesses, make use of their inner political turmoil and incapacity to defend itself against the Raptures. And then, if they ever come crawling to her and beg for forgiveness, she would close the doors on them like they did on her.

TL/DR: Teenager gets groomed and exploited to save humanity, only to be betrayed and abandoned. She vows vengeance. Within a century, Humanity for the most part has also forgotten her and her sister-in-arms sacrifices, treating her existence as a mere legend/myth.

Bonus: Dorothy in the end, never acted on her vengeance. She schemed and planned for a century, but always hesitated in fully executing the plan. In the end, she reconciliated with humanity after attaining the truth for why she and her sister-in-arms were betrayed.

An American missionary illegally traveled to a protected, off-limits island, intending to convert an isolated, uncontacted tribe to Christianity. The island was closed to outsiders because contact could expose the tribe to deadly diseases and permanently disrupt their way of life. He knew about these risks, as well as the possibility that the tribe could respond violently to trespassers, but chose to go anyway. He was ultimately killed by the tribe.

In your own words, would you consider his actions morally good, morally evil, or somewhere in between?
