Group 3 Discussion
Our group went ahead a little and talked about the life boat scenario. We discussed who we thought would have the best chance of survival. We discussed if it would be killing someone to push someone off into the water and other ways to make the rest survive. It was posed that perhaps someone could make a sacrifice for the others to survive by jumping into the water. We all discussed the implications of a society that had the capabilities to genetically modify itself and what parts of society might get these enhancements. It was later posed that there be a non transferable lottery to possibly make the whole thing fair instead of just the rich getting every enhancement.
