DISCUSSION ESSAY
Just some things to think about during your discussion:
Your dialogue should address the following ideas, points, and questions:
- Do the group’s recommendations minimize the harm while maximizing the good?
- Do they compromise fundamental principles? If so, how? Was it necessary? In other words, what factors guided the group’s decisions? Were they biased? Were they fair?
- Address ideas on justice and bias and who the recommendations favor
- Discuss urban vs rural populations, social and economic status, questions of age, race, and ethnicity, questions of health and pre-existing conditions – what took the highest priority?
- What covert biases did you see? How would you argue differently than your peers?
