What was Philippa Foot's purpose by the way ? I can't assume that the experiment was invented to show that you better kill one man than be responsible of the death of 4.
(I also guess there can be a difference between "what I would do" and "what I think is fair".)

This test annoyed me. I wanted to select several options on half of the questions. It's usually a mix of several things.

Just to mention the first question:
> MORAL STATEMENTS. Moral statements are primarily:
It is both:
>statements of the speaker's desire/emotion/opinion? (e.g. "Murder is wrong" means "I hate murder").
This is true on an individualist level, but these desires and opinions are informed by biological urges, the social zeitgeist, ideologies and social constructs, so
>statements of command (e.g. "Murder is wrong" means "I say: don't murder".
is also true.

I am not really making a judgement on it. That's just how I see morality getting constructed. At least in this point in time.

Morality evolves somewhat similar to hens, so that analogies is eerily accurate. Though people can also create completely new moral systems from scratch, to a varying degree of success, because what people accept is still limited by their biological urges, even if you somehow manage to scratch out the sociological factors.
