According to the Kantian Law of Autonomy, this portion of Lu’s decision would have been considered ethical. She was making a decision that was clear from any implicit or latent biases that would affect her ability to make a just judgement call. Although Lu came to the conclusion that she should kidnap Madison with good intention, it t would not pass Kant’s categorical imperative test. If everyone was to kidnap children from people, they feel are unfit to be parents it would not be ethical. It raises the question as to what it means to be a fit parent and who would determine who was fit or unfit. It also raises the question as to whether or not it would be ethical to make the same decision if a parent was sick, suffering from a disability, or not financially stable? This action would not be one that could be considered for universal law as it wouldn’t be appropriate in every situation. When looking at form 2 of the categorical imperative test, Lu’s actions would not align with Kant’s agent of dignity and respect. Lu failed to take into account the respect for all
