After listening to Kenneth Feinberg: “What is the Value of a Human Life?”
Reponse those quesion Question1: Steven F. Goldstone, chairman, and CEO of RJR Nabisco (one of the four biggest U.S. cigarette manufacturers), said in a 1998 magazine interview, “I have no moral view of this business … I viewed it as a legal business. You shouldn’t be drawing a moral judgment about a business our country says is perfectly legal and is taxed like crazy by it.” Think about Goldstone’s statement in terms of ethical awareness. What might happen if he began thinking about his business in ethical, and not just legal, terms?Question 2:After listening to Kenneth Feinberg: “What is the Value of a Human Life?” (5 min), and viewing Milton Friedman – The value of a human life debate (7 min), where do you stand on their viewpoints? If you had Kenneth Feinberg’s responsibilities, what method would you choose?
