Abstract
- The article "RESCUE CASES, THE MAJORITY RULE, AND THE GREATEST NUMBER" by Jonas Werner discusses the use of the majority rule in rescue cases to determine which option saves the greatest number of people. The author presents cases where the majority rule may not always lead to saving the greatest number, highlighting the complexities and limitations of this decision-making process. The article explores various scenarios and considerations, ultimately questioning the close connection between numbers and majorities in rescue situations. [Extracted from the article]
