Well-being. I stated this and asked you to consider for conversation sake that we agree that morality is concerned with well-being.

We can make evaluations about any scenario and determine objectively what is best for well-being. There are a finite number of responses to any situation and some set of those have to cause less harm than others. I agree morality doesn't stand on being reasonable, that's justification. Morality as I'm using it is concerned with well-being.

Well that's a false equivalency, the man isn't going to die. You can certainly make a case for justified, but definitely not moral.
I provided a video, did either of you bother to watch, or is the 10 or so minutes that I timestamped for you too long?
