ABSTRACT
Human beings can be morally evaluated as responsible agents who are free to choose how to act. Elsewhere1 I have argued that our concept of a person is a concept of an individual with inner thoughts and feelings controlling his or her actions. I also suggested that an appreciation of moral values and the desire to act in accordance with those values can transcend the desire for survival2 and that the view that we are, at least to some extent and in some situations, free agents is supported by the fact that human beings are moral agents. We all have moral values and we all make moral judgments.
