Regarding the case of lying the murderer people would hold that they have a moral duty to protect the lives of others that the duty to truthfulness. It is considered for one to be in positions to draw their moral commitment depending on their circumstances. For the case of whether it is ethical to indulge in luxurious celebrations while others are suffering its universal that one needs to draw the line within which to act. The other problem with Kant theory is the lack of a clear definition of the action choosing criteria when confronted with two wrong things. Based on that it is wrong to lie and to assist in murder and in that circumstance one would not choose both Kant criterion cannot define what choices should be made. Also having the absoluteness of right and wrong would describe a system of rules that one has to follow instead of the moral obligation that propels one to act right. These lead to a conflict of laws and acts. The Kantian framework does not account for the happiness of those involved but on the action agreement to the categorical imperative.
