Privacy/Compassion Dilemma

You're the sports editor of a major newspaper. You have a reliable "tip" that a world-famous sports figure has AIDS. Other journalists have protected the star's secret. But your newspaper does stories on the health of celebrities. Pursuing the story could rob the man of the ability to tell family and friends when he's ready. What do you do?

Once you choose your answer, you'll be able to see how other people responded — and how the real story went.

You will:

Get the sports figure to confirm the story. The AIDS epidemic is big news.
Drop it. His playing days are over. He poses no public health risk. His privacy comes first.
