Assignment task:
Some helpful analysis here. In thinking about the two situations, I am wondering about a person who sees a sports star in a beer commercial one day, and then years later they are at a bar and are served 10-12 drinks by the bartender. He leaves the bar, attempts to drive home, and kills a teenager in a drunk driving accident.
Is the sports star equally at fault morally as the bartender? That might seem an apt analogy of the difference between a doctor appearing in a cigarette ad in the 50s with a doctor in the 90s over-prescribing opioids to their patient.
What works in this analogy? What is lacking?
