  1. 0:00In Saving Private Ryan, a squad of
  2. 0:03American soldiers is sent deep into
  3. 0:05enemy territory. Their mission, bring
  4. 0:08home one man, Private James Ryan,
  5. 0:12because all his brothers were killed in
  6. 0:13combat. But here's the ethical question.
  7. 0:17Is it right to sacrifice many to save
  8. 0:20just one person? Some say no, it's too
  9. 0:23great a cost. Others say yes, because
  10. 0:27life isn't maths. It's also about duty.
  11. 0:30One by one, the rescuers fall. Captain
  12. 0:34Miller, their leader, is mortally
  13. 0:36wounded. His last words to Ryan was two
  14. 0:40words. Earn this. Each men gave
  15. 0:44everything so one man could live. Not
  16. 0:47because he was special, but because the
  17. 0:50mission said he mattered.
  18. 0:53So, was it justified? Was the mission
  19. 0:56moral or madness?
  20. 0:58A utilitarian would say no, the mat
  21. 1:01doesn't work. But a deonttologist might
  22. 1:03say yes because some duties can't be
  23. 1:06measured.
  24. 1:08What do you think? Would you make the
  25. 1:11call?
