Is this right, or is this wrong?

Ethics 101

Professor of Ethics Dr Julie Ponesse:

This is my first, and potentially last [chokes] lesson of the year. Ethics 101. In the spirit of Socrates, who was executed for asking questions, this lesson will consist of only one question. The answer is multiple choice. Please listen carefully. When a person has done the same job to the satisfaction of her employer for twenty years, is it right, or is it wrong, to suddenly demand that they submit to an unnecessary medical procedure in order to keep their job? In this case, the procedure is the injection of a substance that has not been fully tested for safety; it has not yet been shown to be effective; it is designed to prevent an illness that presents little threat to the employee. The employee is not allowed to ask questions. She is only allowed to submit to the procedure, or be fired. To my first year students: is this right, or is this wrong?

Dr. Ponesse — an authority on ethics — was dismissed from her position on September 7, 2021.
