What was the most interesting question?

two questions really stood out to me; 1. what are your views on affirmative action? how would you feel if your spot in medical school were given to someone less qualified than yourself, simply because he/she is a minority? 2. are double blinded, randomized clinically controlled trials for HIV/AIDS drugs in Africa ethical? what about the patients in the study who do not recieve the active drug? is it better not to do any studies at all? should there be a different standard for testing in Africa than there is here in the US?

What was the most difficult question?

the ethical question above
