this link to a site designed to measure and quantify moral intuitions, and provide some interesting analysis of them. Check it out if you're interested. I just wanted to share one of the questions, because it amused me:
A man goes to his local grocery store once a week and buys a frozen chicken. But before cooking and eating the chicken, he has sexual intercourse with it. Then he cooks it and eats it. He never tells anyone about what he does, never regrets it and never shows any ill effects from behaving this way. He remains an upstanding member of his community.
a) Is anyone harmed by this man's sexual activities with a chicken (assume there are no ethical problems with meat eating)?
Philosophy is fun. Anyway, go check out the quiz.
You want a bonus picture?
Ok.
