After the election, bioethics professor Peter Singer was approached by Quartz, an online news site, with the following question: If you disagree with Donald Trump’s positions, is it ethical to take a job in the Trump administration?
Take the job, said Singer, who specializes in applied ethics. “My view is that you ought ... to go in thinking you’ll be able to make a difference,” he told Quartz. “And if you get to the point where you think there’s nothing you can do, you should be prepared to leave.”
