Ethics [Tuesday, December 16, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

"Welcome to your Ethics final," Anakin said, pacing around the Danger Room. "I will provide you with a series of scenarios. Either pull up a seat, " --the simulation generously provided on--"and tell me which of the options you would pick, or choose to try the simulation as a live demonstration and see what kind of consequences your actions would have."

He pressed his lips together. "Try not to die if at all possible."

He consulted the notes in his hand. "Oh, before I forget. If any of you are interested in a service project during the break, I've been in contact with the chief of the Ewok village where the Woklings came from. They are still recovering from a major battle that happened above and on their moon a few years ago and would be very grateful for anyone who would like to go build tree houses for a few days. See me after class for more information."

Re: Scenario #2: Written/Oral Option

Same female voice, different options. Do you:

a) Make the most of the time you have left.
b) Look frantically for a cure. If this means doing unsavory things for slightly creepy people, so be it.
c) Like I'd ever get married. Here's how I see it going...
d) None of the above. If none of the above, explain your response.

B until ethical boundaries are risen that cannot be crossed in an advanced society blocked by rules and then A.

c) Like I'd ever get married. In a similar unmarried situation, though, I'd probably go with a).

That was not a lie.

He'd let Bruce handle b).

A.

Tahiri might have answered C if she was feeling in more of a smartass mood, but today was less smartass, more schmoopy sentimental.

"Again, first thing." Firekeeper shrugged. "Is no one that can be living forever."

Ender shrugged and penned in a c).

He didn't really see the point.

B.

And Lee couldn't really add anything to that. It was the only option in his eyes.

B) OMFG assbabies!

Toby thought it would be totes hot for a dude to get pregnant. He'd make such an awesome mom.

She was really starting to hope this wasn't a standard multiple choice test.

B, then A. D. Um, also, unless I'm in Massachusetts, I won't have a wife. If I'm the pregnant one, do I know what's happening? Because if I don't know, it won't matter. If I do know, and my husband doesn't, I don't think I would tell him, but I'd be very, very big into finding a cure, because hi, not big on death. If I do know and my husband does, there'll probably be a lot of A, followed by sitting on him so he doesn't do anything dumb.

B. I wouldn't want to do anything unsavory, but I would feel I owed it to her to do my best.

C) I've already turned down one proposal this year from my boyfriend, and managed to thwart my father's matchmaking attempts so far. I value my freedom too much to hand it over to anyone like that.

It wasn't that Dōjima hated children or anything. Yurika was actually adored kids. But this scenario was so much not-an-option that it was funny.

Jess figured A and B were more correct than the other responses, and he circled B since that was at least a little honest.

Well, given that I'm not likely to marry a woman or a guy who gets pregnant, it's all speculation, but... I'd go with B. Definitely.

"People die in childbirth," Agnes answered. "It happens, and if the midwife has done everything she can... well, that's that."

She frowned. "But what I'm more interested in is HOW you 'learned' that she'll die in childbirth. It's usually not something you can tell ahead of time." At least, as far as she knew. From the tiny handful of cows and goats she'd midwifed.
