Description
Summary:All agree that moral issues are difficult issues mired in philosophical, political, social, and spiritual values. It's no wonder that the process of calculating moral positions has been likened to ``eating broth with a fork.''

This paper suggests one way the use of decision modeling may reach to moral objectivists in a classroom setting.
