Today we had an ethics discussion. At the end, we were encouraged to let our loved ones know about our advance directives for our end-of-life medical care. Basically, I think I don't want any extraordinary measures/artificial nutrition in the event that I have no chance of recovery. It's hard to think about my own mortality. I meant to sign up as an organ donor when I renewed my driver's license earlier this year. But I hesitated yet again.
Note to self: Try to sign up for the Ethics elective my senior year. It should be interesting to think about ethical dilemmas all month long.
The last time I took an Ethics class was my first semester of college. We read writings of dead, male, white philosophers sort of viewed through a feminist lens. I remember talking about the good life, phallic symbols, justice, etc. My final 20-page paper was on nature and female imagery.
