Dr. Puneet worried about the test results of his patient, Ms. Benita. Ms. Benita was an old rich widow with no dependents. The results indicate that Ms. Benita has the potentially fatal Lymphanigioleiomyomatosis (LAM) disease. LAM is rare and difficult to diagnose. People with LAM often need oxygen and lung transplants as the disease continues its course. According to the test results, Ms. Benita might have got it.

Dr. Puneet explained the situation to Ms. Benita carefully. Without naming the disease, he explained that the disease was progressive and would need treatment using drugs which were still at the experimental stage. Even then, the chance of success was not too bright. If the treatment was unsuccessful, then they would have to get ready for a lung transplant. The lung transplant itself was a risky course of treatment. Even if successful, she would require constant medical support and treatment.

Ms. Benita looked blank. She asks Dr. Puneet for his advice about the course of action. He nods gravely, "I'm afraid, Ms. Benita, I think there is only one course we can take."

What should be Dr. Puneet's advice?

Some environmentalists tired of waiting for 'green economics' to catch up with the society at large, have adopted their own strategies for tipping the financial calculation in favour of the land. In the forest surrounding Vancouver, where trees are being felled for paper to print philosophy books (well, may be one or two, but it's worth it), groups have used metal spikes hidden in trees to prevent the chainsaws from operating safely, pushing up the price of harvesting the trees. In Phoenix, Arizona, where mountain nature reserves have been encroached on by new houses, hooded vigilantes have burnt down the new residences. The arsonists, according to the local paper, pray before they burn down a house that no one will get hurt, thinking primarily of the fire- fighters : the new houses are burned while still empty. 'We don't pray for ourselves not to get caught ; that's God's will.' one is quoted as saying. As per the activists, all aforementioned activities seem clearly very principled. But is it ethical?
