Ethics Class - catch up session, 10am-4pm

Tara posts the class list on the door, as promised in her email, detailing the gaps in each student's participation. Penned at the bottom in a neat round hand is a note: Some of you may have discussed these with TAs out of class. Please inform me if this is the case.

She looks happy and well-rested as she sets up discussion stations around the room.

[ooc: I'll put names on the comment threads for the people who haven't completed them, rather than listing up here. Because I'm odd that way.]

Re: Duty of Care

"The helpless are owed enough for basic sustenance, and such items as to keep them comfortable; no less is owed to anyone. If it's a congenital thing, or something that alters an otherwise healthy person without the chance that they'll regain some sort of normalcy and compitency, then there is no expectation of repayment; if the effect is temporary (and by temporary, I mean a few months to a few years, with meds and rehab and such), then they have an obligation to pay back that expenditure, whether it be in cash or by helping those in similar situations."

"Of course, this is all in the ideal world. As things approach less ideal, then these peoples get shuffled further and further back onto the back burner to the point where no one bothers to care beause there's more important things to worry about. Like the robots"
