Discuss how this change would affect your required rate of return on the common stock of Gentry Company.

In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, please complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other posts by Day 7 (Monday).

What response might he have to your way of drawing the line between the types of beings that should get moral consideration and those that should not?
