Imagine you work in a hospital. you discover that a doctor is about to make an important decision. "dr.
x"is doing research that might save many hundreds of thousands, or even millions of lives. but to
complete that research, she needs to actively kill a perfectly healthy person to study how a recently-dead,
healthy heart works.
"dr. x" has decided to use a much older, homeless person with no friends or family. no one but you and
the doctor know this is about to happen. the homeless person will not experience any pain as a result of
the experiment. let's also say, for the purpose of this scenario, that "dr. x" won't get caught" unless you
say something to the authorities. you're wondering whether or not you should try to stop dr. x, perhaps
by publicizing what she's going to do and getting the law involved.
answer these questions:
(a) how would utilitarian ethics respond, and why? (b) how would kantian ethics respond, and why?
(c) and which side, if either, has the most rational and well-argued position--and why?

As you sit in the library with your friend studying for your weekly quiz on the integumentary system, you come upon an article about the hazards of prolonged exposure to the sun's rays. your curious nature leads you to research the subject further. you're fascinated to learn that minimal exposure to the sun allows you skin to manufacture vitamin d, which is important to maintain homeostasis. you also read that although sunscreen can protect you from the ultraviolet (uv) rays of the sun, some medications can actually increase a person's sensitivity to the sunlight.
