When ethical view collide in the modern day.

The BBC News has created an interesting article looking at what happens when different peoples ethical views collide, and who's takes precedence.

It specifically looks at the example of a Christian couple refusing a Gay couple in a civil partnership a room at their B&B. This was ruled unlawful last week by Bristol County Court.

See how it is compared to different ethical theories including Bentham's Act Utilitarianism, Kantinian Ethics and even Mr Aristotle himself!
