You attend a community meeting at which people are discussing the possibility of approving a large-
scale wind power project that would allow developers to install six large wind turbines on the crest of a
hill in a rural, wooded part of the county, and this installation would be enough to supply the nearby
community with electricity. Answer the following questions based on this scenario.
A final speaker acknowledges that wind turbines have problems but suggests that the advantages
outweigh the disadvantages. The area suffers from acid rain and particulate air pollution that is linked to
a nearby coal-fired power plant. These wind turbines will decrease the amount of coal that must be
burned, and this will reduce air pollution. Though some animals may unfortunately be killed, the wind
instillation will help the ecosystem as a whole, he argues, making it healthier for the plants and animals
that live there. His argumen - ANS-both an anthropocentric and ecocentric

A new drug has been developed to inhibit the replication of HIV, the retrovirus that causes AIDS. In

humans, but it is unknown what possible side effects exist. As an FDA regulator, what would you see as
the pros and cons of applying the precautionary principle to this new drug? - ANS-As an FDA regulator, I
would want to see this drug go to drug trial prior to its widespread availability, applying the

this drug to be approved and the apparent benefits coming out of animal testing. This could take years,
and lives could be lost in the mean time.
