I actually meant what I said,maybe I was speaking my belief as opposed to the popular view I disagree with?

For example, we can debate the ethics surrounding killing a person. Can I kill a useless member of society? How about a dangerous criminal? Someone trying to kill me? I can accept all of that as a question of ethics.

What I cannot accept is framing ethics with an end goal in mind such as "killing people will reduce the population" vs "killing is not the best way to reduce the population","Killing dangerous criminals will prevent future violent crimes" or "you shouldn't kill useless members of society because that won't guarantee a productice society". These questions are framed with the end goal beinf the reason the act is considered ethical or not.

My belief is that asking if an act is ethical relative to a desired end goal is in itself unethical. If the end goal is the deciding factor then we're discussing strategy not ethics.
