Pig Autopsy Position Paper

We wanted to give you a heads up about an assignment that we gave the girls over the weekend. The assignment is to answer the bioethics question, "Should I use a real pig to conduct a forensic investigation to simulate a human autopsy?" Today in class, we introduced an ethical decision making framework that they will use as they justify their position, noting key facts, questions, stakeholders, possible solutions and their ultimate decision and the justification behind it. The opportunity to perform a pig autopsy will come at the end of February and we want girls to be thoughtful in their decision on how to take part in this experience. There are many possible solutions to their involvement and we are open to ideas. If you have any questions about this assignment, please direct them to Darin or Bert.
