Consider the following scenario:
You are the President of HERVCO Industries, a multinational corporation having its headquarters in Bethpage, NY. Your company has developed and patented a new type of catheter which is capable of saving approximately one to two thousand lives a year, most of them children suffering from congenital heart defects. Its sales would also greatly increase your lagging profits.
Your research tells you that manufacturing the catheter product will create approximately 1,000 new jobs, most of them requiring no technical knowledge. However, the manufacturing process used to make the product is dangerous and controversial. First, the plastic making up the catheter is highly explosive and in fact, ten years earlier a plant owned by a rival company exploded in China killing over 200 workers and polluting a local river. Second, to make the plastic, it is necessary to create ozone gas. Ozone gas has been accused by some of causing global warming. Other scientists question the existence of such warming. You also know that manufacturers of similar products have faced media scrutiny and public protests.
HERVCO has manufacturing plants in Macon, Georgia; Tijuana, Mexico and Tan Duc City, Vietnam. Tijuana lies just across the U.S. border from San Diego. Tan Duc is a very poor industrial city of approximately 100,000 people located in a remote area of the country. You are familiar with Macon and its need to attract jobs to a high unemployment area.
What are you and HERVCO to do? Be sure to set forth and discuss the numerous ethic and moral issues that you and Hervco face in the above scenario, and the actions you take to get to your conclusion. Be sure to use the terms, theories and other information discussed in the text, the readings, and other sources. You may use the internet to research facts to support your arguments as well.
