T-Rex: Gosh but it's sometimes hard to know what the right thing to do is! If only there were a series of rules to tell me what to do in every situation!
Narrator: DEONTOLOGY COMIX
T-Rex: Deontology, Dromiceiomimus! It's where you follow rules to act ethically.
Dromiceiomimus: So like, "Thou shalt not kill?"
T-Rex: Exactly! Once I have the rules chosen, I no longer have to worry if a given act is ethical or not, I just have to make sure it follows the rules! This leaves me free to think about other stuff, like how cute would it be if cats and dogs had puppens?
T-Rex: Maybe they'd be called kuppies??
Utahraptor: So thou is totally not going to kill, right?
T-Rex: Yep!
Utahraptor: Okay, here's one dude who's going to go back in time and stop the Big Bang from exploding, and he's not going to kill a thousand dudes. He's going to kill ALL LIFE THAT HAS OR EVER WILL BE. The only way to stop him is to kill him. If you keep with your rule and let him go, everybody dies! T-REX, YOU ARE A MONSTER.
T-Rex: Oh, no bigs, I have another rule that says it's okay to kill if I really want to. More precisely, it says "harm may be done if it's an effect of a greater good"!
T-Rex: But come on, if you want to mess with the Big Bang I'ma shoot you in the head!!
