You make some great points about having the moral intelligence to step up and do the right thing if/when necessary. The fact is, people are still determining how they will handle this kind of predicament if they were presented with such a tough choice. There are so many moving parts and so many individuals to consider. How will this difficult decision affect them? Is it ethical to sacrifice one to save many?
Dr. Wigan essentially sacrificed his career, status, and family to expose the horrors of the tobacco industry. I would love to ask him that if he had to do it over again, would he make the same decision?
