here's some anthropological food for thought.

i have a question. we were having a pretty heated conversation in my anthropology class about a situation:

as an observer, and you were studying the use of heroine. one of the people you were observing left the needle in bleach for 20 seconds, but the needle needs to stay in there for 60 minutes to kill the virus (to prevent HIV AND AIDS). as a human, do you tell the participant to leave it in a little bit longer? or do you keep your mouth shut as an observer?

i know a lot of you guys might not know what i'm talking about.
but it's down to you as a human, or down to you as an observer.


tell me what you think.
