While on an Environmental Studies field trip, Jamie, Kirk, and Greg, three students from Crestview Secondary School, became trapped in a cave by a landslide. The three began to examine their situation. They noticed a trickle of water on the wall of the cave. Greg said that he learned in a science class that as long as there was water, they could live without food for about 30 days. They all noted that there was no animal or vegetable matter in the cave. However, Greg mentioned that if two of them reached a state of desperation and killed the third and ate his flesh, they could survive for nearly another two weeks. As Jamie had a calendar watch with a luminous dial, keeping track of time was no problem.
On the 27th day, Kirk suggested that they draw lots to determine who would be killed for the benefit of the other two. When lots were drawn later that day, Kirk lost. He pleaded with Jamie and Greg to reconsider, but they pointed out that he had proposed this arrangement and that they had all agreed on it. Just as they were about to strangle Kirk, a rescue team broke through to save them.
-What is a society composed of? Did the boys in the cave constitute a society?
-Were the boys still a part of the outside society they came from? Why or why not?
-Did the boys pass a law? Explain
-If Jamie and Greg had strangled Kirk, would they have been found guilty of any crime after their rescue? If so, what? If not, why not?
-Would there be any difference in your decision if:
-they could have escaped from the cave by exploring a few metres farther.
-they were stranded on a lifeboat in the ocean? Explain.
-Suppose Jamie and Greg were found guilty of killing Kirk, and their lawyer pleaded for mercy. What would your decision be if you were the judge?
