missroseroseMoral question, inspired by my dreams last night:
If one had the ability to literally turn back time for the world, and erase all events that happened after a certain point in time, would it still be wrong for this person to torture, hurt or even kill other people at random, so long as they undid the actions and allowed the timeline to continue on as normal? This is, of course, assuming that the people inhabiting said timeline retained no "future memories" of the erstwhile future...
Let the discussion of moral rightness (or perhaps just the awesome evil possibilities available to someone with this power) commence. =)
