[Avodah] R Zilberstein

[Rich, Joel via Avodah]

I argued that this is different than the classical "choleh le-fanenu" and "safek and vadai" and that one must consider future consequences but R Zilberstein said again that halacha does not allow taking into account the consequences at the expense of a single life

(as an aside he discussed a CI about using a shield to deflect arrows to kill less people and claimed that it was not relevant to our case)

Again any opinions?

two general comments:
1. We often see these issues addressed in a microhalachic basis whereas it seems to me that "hilchot milchama" would be the applicable approach

2. the whole deflect the arrow (trolleyology) area of ethics seems underdeveloped in halacha.
