SUMMARY:One Moral Good v. Another Moral Good: Six Legal Cases That Will Dri
 ve You Nuts
DESCRIPTION:This week:\nCannibalism at Sea: Necessity or Murder?\nRegina v.
  Dudley and Stephens\, and ‘the case of the Speluncean Explorers’\nMod
 erated by Larry Rosen. Co-sponsored by Castine Arts Association.\nDeciding
  between good and evil is easy: Deciding between one moral good and anothe
 r moral good is not. Should an American Indian tribe\, whose members are a
 lso US citizens\, be able to favor men over women to preserve its traditio
 ns and independence? May those starving on a life raft eat one of their nu
 mber to survive? Should a doctor be forced to let a patient die whose reli
 gion forbids a life-saving blood transfusion? May a foreigner who euthaniz
 ed his incurably malformed\, pain-ridden child be denied American citizens
 hip because he is guilty of “moral turpitude”? Collectively\, we will 
 discuss the issues involved\; individually\, each of us must decide what i
 s right.\nRosen is the Cromwell Professor Emeritus of Anthropology at Prin
 ceton University and Adjunct Professor of Law Emeritus at Columbia Univers
 ity. A member of the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court and named to the first 
 group of MacArthur Award recipients he has taught family law at various un
 iversities and is the author most recently of Legitimacy in Crisis and 
 The Rights of Groups. Last year he offered this discussion topic through t
 he Acadia Senior College at Mount Desert. He is now a full-time resident o
 f Castine.\nIn person + Zoom. No background in law is necessary to partici
 pate.\n\nGo to Suggested Readings.\nSpace is limited. Registration require
