Anybody read this column, by Randy Cohen? It is in the Sunday New York Times Magazine, every week. It is kind of an Ann Landers sort of advice column, that deals exclusively with moral dilemmas. Each week Randy prints 2 or 3 questions from people in ethical straights, and prints his replies.
My wife and I have a weekly tradition-slash-ritual. Every Saturday (we have a subsription so we get the Mag on Saturday) over breakfast, I read aloud a question, then before we read Randy's answer, we discuss the question, and we each give our opinion of what the correct approach should be. Then I read Randy's answer. Sometimes my wife and I agree, sometimes not. And sometimes we agree/disagree with Randy.
If anybody regularly reads this column, and would like to raise some of the issues treated in the column, I think it would be a fun/enlightening thing to do.
For example, this week someone wrote in asking whether she was morally obligated to donate part of her liver to her estranged and antagonistic sister who needed a transplant. Randy, my wife, and I were all in complete agreement with our opinion - which was HELL NO! Your opinion?
