Ultimately, I think that the only, morally right, choice that Jim’s parents can make is too allow him to be prosecuted by society and their God for his actions. Why should Jim’s parents be moral?

Everything that exists today would not be present without ethics and morals; there would be no concept of good and bad. Morals and ethics make it possible for us to live in a society as a community with laws and regulations.The ethical principles of Mortimer and Mill raise many questions towards the morally problematic situation faced by the Smith’s. Although the Smith’s don’t want to lose their son, it seen through both of the principles that the only morally correct solution for the Smith’s situation is for them to turn their son over to the police. Morals make us who we are as an individual and as a society. In order to have a prosperous society we must do what is morally good, in any instance. If we did not follow what was morally good, then our society would be filled with anarchy due to the lack of laws....
