At first glance‚ moral relativism appears to be an appealing‚ well though out philosophical view. The truth of moral judgments is relative to the judging subject or community. The basic definition of moral relativism is that all moral points of view are equally valid; no single person’s morals are any more right or wrong than any other person’s.

The first dilemma I chose was the fat man and the impending doom. Without a
