Taken to its logical extreme, you could argue that sometimes it is advantageous for a society to harvest the organs of a healthy person, so that multiple people can have their lives extended through transplantation. Eugenics can also be argued for by saying that there's a net benefit to society.
One argument against this is based on the philosophical concept of a Veil of Ignorance[1]. We should create the rules of society as if we don't already know what our position in society will be. No one wants to live in a society where they could be randomly selected for organ harvesting, for example.
Jack-of-all-trades iOS app developer. My most popular app, a music composition tool, was featured on www.apple.com/education and was the #87 highest grossing iPad app in the U.S. on launch day. I'm hyper-focused on not wasting time, communicating effectively, and being honest about time, scope, and costs.
I'm a recent graduate, and I have not done freelancing since high school. So I'm offering my services for $45/hr for up to 50 hr/wk in order to build up my resume quickly.
Skills:
* Objective-C, C, JavaScript (familiar with AngularJS, Node.js, and Backbone.js), Java, Ruby, Haskell, HTML, CSS, MySQL
