should ethics focus on problems?
in ethics moral dilemmas or problems are frequently the focus as seen in the previously discussed trolley problem. but does focusing on hypothetical problems or even moral dilemma case studies actually help us to live better lives?

Hypothetical questions are, to use a sports metaphor, like practise. By looking at problems we excercise our minds. Problems are the points of contention, otherwise its simply a matter of preference. However, If problems could be solved by hypotheticals we could be governed by computers. Hypotheticals, by design, rule out variables. What is interesting is how something becomes a problem. Or how do moral issues change and why?
