You are a passenger an a ship sailing across the ocean. Suddenly, your ship was overtaken by a powerful storm. You escape to a lifeboat with 25 other passengers. You notice that four of the passengers are badly injured, and unlikely to survive for more than a week. You also know that the lifeboat has enough food and water to sustain 22 passengers only. Some of the passengers are considering throwing the four injured passengers overboard in order to save the other survivors. If you were a natural law theorist, how would you solve this ethical dilemma?
