Assignment 1 - Amendment: (Change of due date)

It took us a while to get started, and some students registered late, so the deadline for this assimgnent has changed a little bit:

Please answer the following questions:

1. Do you think that the defendants in this case are guilty of murder (see the penal code on p. 2) or were they justified in their action? (See definition on p. 2). Why or why not?
2. Do you think that the actions of the crew were morally right? Why or why not?

 

Please post your response (with the title “Life Boat”) to these two questions on your blog no later than Sunday, March 10, 2013.

1. 3.   What would a utilitarian philosopher argue, and what would a deontological philosopher, such as Kant, say? (For the ethical theories, see p. 7-14)

 

Please post your response to this question by Wednesday March 13. 

Of course you can post your answer to all three questions by Sunday.
