Danielle who has been in a series of bad relationships up until this point finds herself infatuated with her boss. After several months of long work days and nights, Danielle has an affair with Michael. Some weeks later, Danielle discovers that she has contracted a sexually transmitted disease. She tells Michael and he gets tested but finds out that he is negative. Since he is negative he does not plan to tell his wife about the affair, but he has decided to end the relationship with Danielle. You are the nurse at the hospital. Michael is relieved that he has not contracted the disease and tells you about his situation. You tell him that you are in this ethics course; he wants you to explain: 1) what Epicurean would have to say about his conduct; 2) what Augustine would have to say about his conduct; 3) what Maimonides would have to say about his conduct; 4) what you think about his conduct based on what you have learned and your personal experiences.
