- Most recent journal questions:
- (#12) If you could choose the sex and physical appearance of your soon-to-be-born child, would you do it? Why or why not? Would it make a difference if we were talking about diseases like Parkinson’s? (#11): A close friend, Jane, asks – and genuinely wants – your opinion about something, but your opinion is one that she is likely to find quite painful. For example, Jane is an artist, and asks for your honest estimate of her chances of being successful. You think Jane is an atrocious artist who hasn’t the slightest chance of success. What would you do?
- (#10): You are the captain of a 20-crew submarine that’s lying on the seabed. Its engines are destroyed. Rescue is three days away. There’s only enough air for five people over that three-day span. What do you decide? What’s the rationale for your decision?
