Description
Write a letter to Hardin in response to his article Lifeboat Ethics: A Case Against Helping the Poor. Compare Hardin’s moral matrix to your own to gain a sense of his moral perspective as you write to him. Then, in your opinion, what are the strengths and weaknesses in Hardin’s argument? At this point you have not studied many theories of ethics and haven't learned the language of the principles, so you are not expected to incorporate these into your arguments. Instead, share your thoughts with Hardin based on your personal ethical and moral perspective.
