Today we watched a Justice video that was slightly different from the rest. It talked about the idea of putting the price on a person. A mother made an contractual agreement to be a surrogate mother but changed her mind when the baby was born. Some said she couldn't have possibly known what it would have felt like to be a mother and others said a contract is a contract.

Today we watched another video from the Justice series. Today's was about a group of men stranded on a boat in the middle of the ocean and deciding to eat the cabin boy aboard. It was pretty much a split decision between who thought this was just and who disagreed. Once again the same idea to kill one to save many.

Today we watched the first video on Justice by Michael Sandel. The video brought up the moral dilemma between the idea of killing one to save many. It explored the different "exceptions" to peoples beliefs about one or the other being the just choice.
