This series of two lectures will challenge the students’ critical thinking skills.
Students will be given case studies from new disruptive technologies. They will
analyze the issue and answer the general question, “What should I do?”
The general “tools” they will use for analysis are:
1) stakeholder identification, 2) brainstorming rules
The personal dilemmas they will struggle with are:
1) Where should I stop on this “slippery slope”? 2) What is my “fudge factor”
(acceptable level of dishonesty)? 3) What is influencing my actions: feelings
(emotion) or thinking (intellect)


Who are the stakeholders?

If I am a man do I want to know if I have this gene?

If I am a woman do I want to know if my boyfriend / fiancé has this gene?

How does this knowledge effect my behavior?
