Benji Watson: A Case Study
From both a spiritual and an ethical perspective Benji Watson should not sign the contract being offered at New Gen Health Sciences.

God calls us to do good and live like Jesus. “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12 NIV) I feel another big reason why Benji shouldn’t sign the contract is because the true motivation for New Gen is corrupt.
