Most likely you wouldn't whack another person in the back of a head with a shovel if you just saw him walking down the street. If you would… we'll make sure to never turn our back on you. But what if that person was a zombie? You probably wouldn't think twice about using a shovel or any other blunt instrument on the crumbling cranium of the shambling corpse… even though they used to be human. When zombies are on the loose, their decaying skin isn't the only gray area. Morals and ethics are constantly shifting in the post-infected world. It's hard to be judgmental about anything, really.
Questions About Morality and Ethics
- What previously taboo behaviors become socially acceptable in a world overrun by zombies?
