The rational for killing the cabin boy is morally impressible according to me because killing and murdering someone for the basic sustainable reason is not acceptable. The human beings have survived long journey to establish the civilization and now just out of surviving killing someone who is already ill is not justifiable ethically. Stephen and Dudley decided to murder the boy without his consent is offensive and the ultimate violation of the human rights (Sandel, 2009).
