Morality and Ethics Quotes in The Walking Dead

No one but Lori, that is. She doesn't think it's right for her son to carry a gun. She's of the opinion that things are too dangerous with the gun, while Rick thinks it would be too dangerous without it. It's an ethical dilemma, one that's debated constantly today.

When someone dies, it's up to the living to decide what to do with the body. Burial? Cremation? There's an added dilemma when zombies are involved: the dead might come back as a zombie. Andrea knows her sister wouldn't want that, so she puts a bullet through her head. Again, the moral world is turned on its head here.

On the opposite side of the coming-back-as-a-zombie moral spectrum is Jim. He wants to come back as a zombie, so he has everyone take him far far away from camp so he can transform. That's a real act of compassion on everyone's part, including Jim, who wants to minimize the danger to the others.
