Suppose that one is working for an organization which is developing the pill-dispensing software. With the great advances in medicine the daily dosage is actually calculated based on the person's blood analysis of the day, the person's weight on a given day, the person's level of physical activity, and parameters that a doctor inputs remotely to the patient's record on a regular basis. The development team is several months behind on coding up the software, and the boss (Sally) is asking that the product be released immediately. One programmer (Louis) has been telling Sally about an error in the code which over calculates dosages in a few rare cases. In these instances, this over calculation results in a patient being told to consume at most one or two 'unnecessary' pills per day. The bug in the system cannot be tracked down but seems to be due to weird rounding errors in one of the many complex formulas that are included in the program. Sally decides that the product should be released.

a)Should you recommend release of the product immediately?

b)Who will benefit if the company follows your recommendation?

c)Who will be harmed if the company follows your recommendation?

d)Do you have an obligation to any group of people that may be affected by our decision?

What additional information, if any, would help you answer the previous questions?
