About this listen

Sara, Ben, Mike and Logan embark on a broad discussion that goes to the heart of public policy making and comes back again.

We begin by taking a situational test designed to assess the social skills of prospective Veterinarians. And we continue by asking the hard questions that get to the marrow of the issue.

Should a veterinarian treat a patient with sub-standard care if their client (the owner) cannot afford better?

Should you help someone even if may cost you your job?

Should People have the right to own a pet? What would it cost to help pet owners with necessary care? Should people have a right to childcare? Under what conditions can a society give a right?

Are externalities a good way to assess public policy?
