    Would the most moral way to kill someone I personally don’t like involve donating all their organs to hospitals? Would the most moral way to get a billion dollars be counterfeiting?

    I think your system fails to address that some things are always immoral.

      “until you can do what you need to do” adequately addresses both of your examples, nobody needs a billion dollars ever, you do not need to kill people who you personally find unlikable

      If you have to kill someone to get organs, that’s lower in the list than getting organs from someone who is already dead. Getting organs if the family gives consent causes less pain than the organs being donated, so it goes higher on the list. So the most humane way to get organ donations goes to the top of the list.

      If you counterfeit, you devalue the currency, and you cause harm to those who own that currency because they effectively lose wealth, so it’s lower in the list than earning the currency.
