Like this.

What is the neccesary amount of ends to justify a given amount of means?

What if its not .5%, what if its 5%? What if its 50%? What if its all of them, the RESULTS ARE STILL THE SAME. "The ends justify the means", you said it yourself, well guess what, the ends are the same, in fact, they would probably be better.

How many dead babies, exactly, is too many?

Ethics is not arithmetic.
