[Minority Report] [Philosophy question] I need help with my Philosophy class about the movie Minority Report!

1. Our current criminal justice system fallible in the sense that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they didn’t commit. Also, our current system does not adequately deter would-be criminals. In the movie, there had not been a murder in 6 years. However, they cancelled the program over one incident of a supposed “fallibility” in the system. Further, they release thousands of people that were “going” to murder someone and were predicted to commit a crime. What is the right balance between fallibility and deterrence?

2. The plant lady says that the universal basic instinct is survival. “When the chips are down every creature is interested in one thing, and one thing only, its own survival.” Do you think she’s right? Do humans only “survive”, or do we strive for some other end? Explain your answer.
