[QUOTE="Ken-1122, post: 77094173, member: 277047"] Knowing what the neighbor did is objective, but it isn't a moral situation. To be certain is not a moral situation The right thing to do is the moral situation. You have to do a bunch of objective stuff in order to determine the subjective decision to make Your response indicates the police are honest and fair. Suppose it was the year 1939 and the police were the Gestapo in Nazi Germany, and the friends asking you to hide them were a Jewish family that didn’t want to be taken to the Treblinka Concentration camp? If hiding from the law were objectively wrong, it doesn’t matter; you would be morally obligated to turn them in. The fact that you have to judge the facts of the situation before deciding if it is right or wrong to hide them indicates this is a subjective moral situation not an objective one. [/QUOTE]
