After reading the Case of the Speluncean Explorers (attached below), imagine your are the judge and decide whether the defendants should be:

1.) Sentenced to 6 months in jail

2.) Given the death penalty

or

3.) Set free

• please make sure there are 3 clear arguments that are supported by the case provided

• Paragraph 1- Introduce the case and provide a synopsis of your 3 arguments
• Paragraph 2, 3, & 4 - First Argument, Second Argument and Third Argument

A few things to keep in mind before choosing the appropriate punishment:

• In a life or death situation, do the same rules and laws apply, or are there exceptions?
• If someone was not killed and eaten, all men would have died, does this justify the act? (Killing out of necessity)
• Did Whetmore agree to being killed? If so, should it change the punishment if you allow someone to take your life?
