Stephens Arguments
How do you feel about contributing to the death of a fellow man?
Feels
They had not done the right thing by leaving the Sadhu in that condition
They had handled the problem in a typical effluent Westerners style
The fundamental problem was not addressed
The sadhu may have died
Alleges
That each one had just passed the buck to the other and then left
Willingness to help was till such time that it was not inconvenient to them
No one was willing to assume ultimate responsibility for the sadhu
I wonder what Sherpas would have done if sadhu was a well dressed
Nepali / westerner / Asian / woman.
Bowens defense
Argues that all of them had done their bit to help the Sadhu
Sherpa guides were unwilling to jeopardize more people for the lone
Sadhu
