What are ethics of theft for survival, and to what lengths do they extend?
For example, Let's say I have to waltz into into a 7/11 rob the store, terrify everyone in there, leaving them with awful PTSD and they all need extensive counseling and I pistol whip the cashier, giving him a concussion. And if I don't, then 5 children will starve for exactly one week. No way around it. Am I justified in victimizing everyone in the 7/11 and giving Bobby behind the counter a concussion? An interesting thought.
