re: #73 Feline Fearless Leader

Are you referring to the John Taurek paper?

Aside: A 1977 philosophy paper based around a scenario where there is a limited supply of a drug and you can either save 5 people each getting 1/5 of the drug, or a single patient using all of it. I haven’t found a copy of it to read yet, but I have expectations of where it is going to go. And I also see from a limited googling that there are a lot of responses to it floating about as well, so I expect this one stirred the pot a bit when it came out.

Yes. It’s a very cool and interesting paper.
