10/25/2013 Zombies

by Nicholas Palladino

If you eat our brains, do we not die?

     Friday we're going to talk about zombies. Not the concept of "philosophical zombies," but good ol' fashioned brain eating zombies. First I'll set up background information on zombie mythology, and provide modern media examples.We will then confront how these entities are treated, and whether it is truly ethical.
     I'll be addressing questions about the nature of zombies. Are zombies people? If so, are they the same people as they were before undeath? And what is the moral status of zombies? After we've discussed these questions I'll provide specific examples in media that we can dissect for moral problems.
