Question for @AnnaSalamon and maybe others. What’s the folk ethics analysis behind the sinking of the SF Hydro, which killed 14 civilians but destroyed heavy water to be used in the Nazi nuclear weapons program? Eliezer used this as a classic example of ethical injunctions once.

I like the question; thanks. I don’t have anything smart to say about at the moment, but it seems like a cool thread.
