1. If I was the lead engineer and i had the decision to approve of the experiment, I would approve of the experiment. I have two reasons why i would approve.

Natural Law of Religion will look at the religious beliefs of the Native Amercan Pueblos. In this case they arr also morally right because it is their belief the land is sacred and should not be disturbed because it will cause unanticipated consequences on humankind.

At this crossroad where religion and science meet, they had to come to a compromise like the scenario did. 3 out of 4 Pueblos agreed with the scientist to use a viberous technique to proceed with there study. This compromise caused ultimate satisfaction for both sides because the land was not harmed and the experiment was a success .

Utilitarianism can also serve as a guideline in the situation. Utilitarianism can be a guideline because of the compromise they came to. Utilitarianism aims to maximize utility and utility can be defined as including as pleasure, economic well-being and the lack of suffering. Although a whole 4 out of 4 Pueblos did not agree on the compromise, 3 out of 4 did. 3 out of 4 is 75% which is a greater good thus causing the most satisfaction for the most people....
