A woman works as a supervisor in a medical supplies firm. The firm was doing a transaction with the government for the supply of 800 million worth of protective equipmement. But the said company is under investigation by the authorities for a possible fraud. There were insinuations that the supplies delivered to the government were substandard. Having known the actual situation in the firm, the woman was approached by investigators to become a state witness. She is afraid, however, to become a whistle-blower thinking that it might endanger the lives of her family. What is the right thing to do in this situation? Is the supervisor justifiable in terms of her reasoning? Or should she testify against her company and the government officials involved? Why? What are the moral issues in this case? What moral theory is applicable? Explain.
