In terms of ethics, providing you think the hikers had a duty to rescue the monk, it becomes - is their responsibility ended by dumping the monk on the next climbing team? I remember a long debate on this topic in class. At the time I did not buy into the argument that the hikers had a duty as their own countrymen and government did not care. I'm now more of the opinion that yes - if I were the hiker, I would have a duty to get the monk to where he could be rescued by medical personal and not dump him off on the next group - not knowing if their level of care would match mine.

How unfortunate that this should be considered an irrelevant detail. It is no more ethical to drag him to the bottom of the mountain, then it would be to drag him to the top!
