Document Summary
Options: there is a point when someone has done all that they are required to do, at this point someone has the option to either do more or decline that notion, people going above and beyond required morals and create extra sacrifice for themselves define supererogatory, and act consequentialism leaves no room for supererogatory, deontologist don"t deny that morality is demanding, since they may be obliged to make significant sacrifices in order to keep a promise or breach a serious constraint. Constraints: we have a duty to avoid harming anyone unless they are a threat or deserve to be punished, we should not lie, kill innocent people or torture, these constraints are not to be done even if they are in pursuit of good, also may be scene as absolute however all constraints may be breached based on exceptions such as catastrophe.
