I had business ethics so it was boring questions like "should we advertise to kids" or "do cigarette manufacturers have souls". But ya this seems to be pretty divisive so far.

    Yeah it really splits the crowd. There were three case studies from the course but I can't find my offering's outline and I forget the third case study. The first one was: "A woman signs a form saying that if she gets dementia she wants euthanasia in the late/developed stages of the illness. Later, she gets there, but this 'version' of her has a really high quality of life and is quite contented. Do you follow through?"

    In between there were discussions of frameworks like Aristotelian/Kantian/utilitarian ethics. There were also some medical specific stuff, like the biopsychosocial model of disability. Pretty neat overall, though tbh I wish I took an ethics class more relevant to my current academic pursuits (math)
