organs
Explanation
This comic tackles the ethics of organ donation and scale. A presenter poses a thought experiment: suppose there are a group of people who each need an organ to survive. Can you kill a healthy person to harvest their organs and save multiple lives? A person in the audience objects, saying "yes, but only if it's dozens -- not thousands" of lives at stake, and adds that these are "matters of scale, not law."
Another audience member calls the first one a "bastard," but the objector doubles down: "No! I can drink nearly as much as a middle-aged British man!" -- a complete non sequitur comparing their alcohol tolerance to British drinking culture. The comic satirizes how people engage with trolley-problem-style ethical dilemmas, making the observation that most people do actually have a number at which they'd sacrifice one person to save many, even if they claim the act is categorically wrong. The absurd pivot to alcohol tolerance in the final panel deflects from the uncomfortable moral ground the character has stumbled into.
