The suggestion that it might be obvious is central to the question and what makes it interesting (to me).

Because, yes, it would seem obvious.

>It's the difference between negligence and pre-meditation/mens rea.

a) you're using legal definitions when the question is about morality and b) it's not negligence to actively choose one path over another. It's simply making a decision, and I was asking if that decision can be considered a moral one.

Started off as a philosophical question, but seems to have gone a bit literal. Oh well, it happens.

You don't think the legal differences between those two things were based on perceived immorality?
