1. This case study involves James Rachels' story of the Inuit allowing their infant daughters and the elderly to die for the sake of the survival of the tribe. Imagine that this tribe is still following these practices today. As an outsider, do you think that there is anything wrong with intervening in this situation? Why or why not? If you think involvement is acceptable, what are some approaches from your future or present profession that might offer the Inuit another way to survive - without sacrificing the lives of certain loved ones?

2. We often hear the expression "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Is this is a valid expression in terms of morality? Why or why not? Defend your position.
