Four Thought
The BBC has good radio series as with Four Thought and Moral Maze. They provoke controversy which is needful in a responsible-altruist society. But that is not the same as the alternative form of ‘free’ society, in which everyone is treated as entirely autonomous and morally responsible. The example being a lady who considered women have a right over their own bodies, such that they should have pregnancies and abortions at will according to their own unimpeachable moral views. In a responsible-altruist society the foetus and developing individual must have the protection of society, providing strict guidelines. If everyone is morally responsible – rather than responsible morally – then we need no police or courts.
