QUESTIONS
1. According to the writer, a change in our law—a new duty to rescue—might
change the way people think, heightening their awareness of one another as
members of a community, and leading them to be more responsive to one
another. Do you think law can have such power? Can you think of any examples
where a change in the law seemed to improve the moral climate of our society?
2. Do you think law should be used as a tool for shaping a shared moral climate?
Why or why not?
