Question

In 1842, a ship struck an iceberg and more than 30 survivors were crowded into a lifeboat

intended to hold 7. As a storm threatened, it became obvious that the lifeboat would have to

be lightened if anyone were to survive. The captain reasoned that the right thing to do in this

situation was to force some individuals to go over the side and drown. Such an action, he

reasoned, was not unjust to those thrown overboard, for they would have drowned anyway.

If he did nothing, however, he would be responsible for the deaths of those whom he could

have saved. Some people opposed the captain's decision. They claimed that if nothing were

done and everyone died as a result, no one would be responsible for these deaths. On the

other hand, if the captain attempted to save some, he could do so only by killing others and

their deaths would be his responsibility; this would be worse than doing nothing and letting

all die. The captain rejected this reasoning. Since the only possibility for rescue required great

efforts of rowing, the captain decided that the weakest would have to be sacrificed. In this

situation it would be absurd, he thought, to decide by drawing lots who should be thrown

overboard. As it turned out, after days of hard rowing, the survivors were rescued and the

captain was tried for his action.​
