Question

Joe is a pizza delivery worker. the pizza shop he works for has a 30 minutes or less delivery guarantee or else the customer does not have to pay. on joe's most recent delivery, he spots a woman bleeding on the street. there is no one else around and the woman seems to be unable to move by herself. however, joe knows that if he returns empty handed again, he will be fired from this job which he most desperately needs. what do you think joe should do? justify your solution in terms of practical and ethical considerations.

Answer 1

If Joe has good morals he would stop and help the women. He could have the money taken out of his pay check to possible keep his job but if he does not stop and help the women he will have live with his decision for the rest of his life, the guilt would eat him alive. He can always get another job but we only have one life to live and if he could help save someone else, he should do that.
