2. Egoism is based on the criteria of self-interest and personal happiness. An ethical egoist evaluates every moral decision on the basis of self-interest. Thus, egoism upholds that people are responsible for their own happiness and well-being. On the other hand, altruism is based on the moral criterion of the common good or the well-being of others. Hence, an ethical altruist places a value on personal sacrifice for the sake of others. With these being stated, answer the question below. The best way to end the pandemic is to get vaccinated. However, considering that there is not enough human trial to determine its efficacy, is getting COVID 19 vaccine worth the risk? Supposed you opted to take risk to be vaccinated, is it an egoistic or altruistic choice? Justify your moral position.
