Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clifford argues that the shipowner is guilty regardless of whether or not the ship sinks, because he holds a belief without sufficient evidence and risks the lives of passengers and crew. The validity of his belief should have been investigated before setting sail, and his failure to do so makes him ethically responsible for any negative outcomes that could result.
