"Over the course of this term, we've looked a lot at your personal moral stance on things. Today we're going to be looking more generally - on how morals are taught to children, often insidiously.

"A good medium for this is fairy tales. Every culture has them - stories that are told to children, bearing little moral gems to shape and guide. The first thing I want you to do is a select a fairy tale. Don't worry if it's not one I'll know, just pick one you're familiar with."

"So long as he knows what he's doing and knows what will happen to him if he does it, and he accepts that, then yeah he should do it. It could save his wife. If he's willing to go to jail for that, then he should do it. Saving people you care about is more important than self-preservation. It might deprive the scientist of money, but if it's $4000 per dosage the scientist can afford to go without for this once."
