If it turns оut thаt оur universe is just оne of а multiverse, whаt is White's response?
Accоrding tо Nаthаn Smith, "The humаnity fоrmulation focuses on how we ought to treat rational beings, whether oneself or others. Kant thought that every person possesses the same inherent value and worth because we are all rational beings." Immanuel Kant explains, “So act that you use humanity, in your own person as well as in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means” (Kant 1997a, 4:429). "The humanity formulation therefore asks us to consider whether our actions treat others and ourselves as ends, as entities valuable in themselves, or whether we seek to reduce rational beings to the status of a mere means, as valuable only in that they help us achieve our goal" (Introduction to Philosophy, Ch. 9.3). Directions: Apply the humanity formulation to the following scenario. A doctor in the ER is pronouncing a patient dead when he notices the patient is not an organ donor. The patient has viable organs that could help at least three other people in the hospital who have been waiting for transplants. According to the humanity formulation, is it ethical for the doctor to change this deceased patient's organ donation status? Why, or why not?
