Test V- CASE STUDY: Analyze the given case and classify the three elements of Morality
(Act itself, Purpose/End, Circumstances) (10pts.)
A woman died recently, after a short, unhappy life. She wanted her ashes to be scattered
in the ocean near a place she lived during one of the brief happy times of her adult life. Her
parents and immediate family had already passed away, so she discussed her wishes with her
mother-in-law, who said she would comply with her daughter-in-law's wishes. In her will, the
woman gave control of her estate to the mother-in-law. The will stated that the woman's ashes
should be scattered in the ocean, as described above. Instead, her mother-in-law buried the ashes
in a family plot near her home, because she wanted to keep the ashes close to her because of her
own grief.
Assume that the mother-in-law is legally required to follow the wishes stated in the will,
but that no one will check and it is very unlikely that the mother-in-law will have any problem
with the law. What are the issues of morality, ethics and law posed in the case study? What
options does the mother-in-law have, and what should she do and why?
