The Game

For my project I am going to do a game board that is focused on the dilemma where, “some pharmacists have refused to fill birth-control prescriptions, arguing that dispensing the products violates their personal moral or religious beliefs. Can pharmacists ethically refuse to fill a prescription?”
Throughout the game the players will be challenged with different questions that will decide their fate. All the questions will have to do with the ethical dilemma above. I believe that this message matters because some people want to live their lives their own way, but others for some reason think that they can tell those people how to live their lives because of the way that they were brought up. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions, but there is a fine line that people should not cross, but for some reason it is crossed more than it should. When in reality they do not have the right, or do they? Everyone has a choice, and every choice that anyone makes affects at least one other person than themselves.
I would hope that my classmates will understand the meaning behind my game. I expect that they will get it because of how their choices in the game affect themselves. The questions are going to be rather straight forward and to the point with only two choices for the player to pick from. Whoever makes it to the finish obviously wins the game.

This seems like a fun and functional idea! I am really excited to see how you work the ethics into the game.
