; Kantian Landmarks
: '''The 'Inquiring Murderer'''' → A famous (and controversial) example where Kant argued that even if a murderer asks where your friend is, you still shouldn't lie to save them, because lying is an absolute violation of moral duty.
: '''Human Rights''' → The concept that every human has "Inalienable Rights" (like life and liberty) is a direct descendant of Kant's idea that humans are "Ends in themselves."
: '''War Crimes''' → The idea that "Following orders" is not an excuse for evil; you have a duty to the moral law that is higher than the law of your country.
: '''Informed Consent''' → The medical rule that you can never perform an experiment on a person without their permission, no matter how much it helps science.
