Case:
Case #3- 'Til Death Do My Part
Debate question:
Was Isaac's decision ethical?
Discussion questions:
When, if ever, is it permissible to deceive someone for their own good?
Isaac considers a couple "foundations of marriage." What do you make of his proposals of self-disclosure of selfless serving? What else might serve as the foundation of such a relationship?
When might duties to serve others override duties to broader ethical principles?
How might Isaac's duty to share the information with Ella change if his relationship to her changed (e.g., if he were a nurse or doctor as opposed to a husband?)
