What are your thoughts or concerns about Huxley’s life with the Stauffer’s? Cynics might say the child was nothing more than a prop or a convenient tool to increase the brand popularity of the Stauffer’s. Was he a sort of “human click bait”? Or, is there more going on here, a tragedy that turned out as well as it could? There is an ethical dimension to this you might explore. You might also talk about issues of privacy and consent e.g. could Huxley give his consent to be a part of the Stauffer brand? And, what do you think of this choice of words from Myka describing when they first met Huxley, “Huxley’s EMOTIONAL Adoption VIDEO!! GOTCHA DAY China Adoption”? Please share your well considered thoughts.
