Ethics Class, Monday, 2-4pm

Tara's face is tight and drawn as she addresses the class.

"For those of you who heard about Friday's class - we're not talking about that. If you wish to talk to me in my office hours you are very welcome to although they will be slowplayed liek woah, because I'm single parenting this week. However, I would appreciate it if we could keep in-class discussion today on the topic at hand.

"The topic, such as it is, will be chosen today by you, not by me. Here's what I want you to do:

"Raise an ethical issue. Give us your opinion on it. I don't mind what you choose - there are hundreds of issues we haven't touched on yet in class. Go wild. Have some fun with it, if you want to, just make sure there is an ethical question to be addressed. Respond to another person's raised issue with your opinion - beyond just 'I agree'. I'd love to see you all engage in some proper debates with one another, and I'm quite happy to give extra credit for people who engage in multiple debates."

"What if finding out would hurt them more?" Angel asked. "Some people like being in denial."

"But even if they like it, it's not good for them," Angela says, surprising herself by responding to Angel. "People deserve to know, no matter what. You just need to hope they don't blame the person who told them."

Allie nods at Angela's words.

"But I think I'd almost rather have someone I cared about be angry with me for telling them then getting hurt because I didn't."
