			<link>http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/3622/t/Did-you-take-the-Moral-Sense-Test-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In Chapter 9, there is an example of a moral test.  The footnote refers to this link:  <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://moral.wjh.harvard.edu/">moral.wjh.harvard.edu/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br>
<br>
I thought it would be interesting for us to take the test and post our scores for the 'means' vs. 'ends' test that is given.  According to the authors, a 10 is a 'means' person and a 0 is an 'ends' person.  Personally, I didn't see that in the test, but......<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ An obvious question with a book like this ought to be, what was its impact on you?  Has Gazzaniga's analysis done much to change your ethical view?  Do you think it will have any effect on the decision making process you go through when trying to determine the most ethical approach to a given situation?  Or was it of more theoretical interest? ]]></description>

			<link>http://booktalk.yuku.com/topic/3630/t/Abortion.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Gazzaniga ties abortion to euthanasia and old age.  There is a point after which deterioration of an aging brain leaves nothing of the person it once was.  Gazzaniga finds that most cultures will agree that once the person is completely gone there is no ethical issue of keeping the empty body alive, although there is not agreement on when this point is reached.   Putting aside the truth or falsehood of this assumption I'd like to discuss its connection to abortion.  As I understand it the... ]]></description>
