Consider case study 2, ‘John’ in terms of the concepts used in Macklin’s paper on moral autonomy. Which of the following statements is true about the situation of Claire the bank manager? (There may be more than one correct answer.)

Question 3 options:

a Throughout the case study Claire acts with complete moral autonomy. She is free to do whatever her conscience dictates and does not need to give any thought to commercial considerations about the bank’s financial success.

b Claire acts with relative moral autonomy. She has the authority to make special arrangements to help John during his treatment, but that authority has its limits – limits that become clearer near the end of the case study as the pressure from upper management intensifies.

c There are moral reasons not to disclose John’s mental illness to his co-workers. John told Claire this in confidence and he trusts her to keep that confidence.

d There are moral reasons to explain John’s situation and his special work arrangements to his co-workers. After all, it is unfair that others have not had the opportunity to apply for the special assignment that John is undertaking.
