Imagine you are the CEO for Ford. If you fixed the design flaw on the Ford Pinto the company might fail, thousands of jobs could be lost, and shareholder investments might be washed clean. What would you do?

1.Would you lose your job, and impact thousands of workers, for the sake of 10 lives saved (Utilitarian)? Or,

2.Would you correct the problem regardless of the consequences (Deontology)?

NOTE: Justify your ethical decision and state clearly why you are promoting the position you take.
