The Infоrmed ClоneScenаriо Modificаtion:Suppose thаt Lunar Industries revises its protocol. Under the new arrangement, each clone is told the full truth immediately upon activation: that it is a clone of Sam Bell, that it has been created to perform a three-year mining contract, that its lifespan is biologically limited to approximately three years, and that it will not be returning to Earth. The clone is then given a genuine 48-hour window to refuse the assignment. If it refuses, it is painlessly euthanized and a new clone is activated. Sam Bell Prime has consented to this revised protocol.Your Task:Does the revised protocol make Lunar Industries' arrangement morally permissible? Write an essay in which you argue either that the informed-consent protocol resolves the moral problems with the original arrangement, or that significant moral problems remain despite the revision. Your argument must operate within the reductionist framework (observe the Forbidden Case Constraint) and engage substantively with at least two of our primary sources along with lectures and class discussion.
