Contemporary Ethics
Christoph Lengauer makes an analogy stating that cells should be treated with the same value as oil. He states, “Why not treat valuable cells like oil? When you find oil on somebody’s property, it doesn’t automatically belong to them, but they do get a portion of the profits” (p. 267). This excerpt from the novel raises some ethical issues to be examined in this reflection.
