TED-Ed: Ethical dilemma: The burger murders | George Siedel and Christine Ladwig

The transcript discusses a crisis faced by a company that produces meatless burgers after a criminal poisoned their products, leading to deaths. The company must choose between three strategies: doing nothing, recalling products citywide, or recalling them worldwide. The ethical implications of each choice are examined using various tests. A case study of Johnson & Johnson's response to the Tylenol poisoning crisis is presented as a reference for decision-making.

What tests could be used to evaluate the ethicality of the decisions made in this scenario?

In what ways did Johnson & Johnson's response to the Tylenol crisis serve as a model for ethical decision-making?

Reflect on the dilemma faced by the company: was the decision made in the interest of the public or the company?
