Imagine You Have a Time Machine That Was Built for One

question 31

Essay

Imagine you have a time machine that was built for one purpose: to kill Adolf Hitler in the cradle. In the time machine are two other men from history: Jeremy Bentham and Immanuel Kant. Bentham has the gun, but Kant has the bullets. You need to convince each of them that what you are about to do is the ethical thing. What will you say to each of them? What will they say to you in return?
