Problem: Write an argument defending it.
Be sure to consider the counter arguments from the readings.
Where possible, use precise ethics vocabulary terms from the entire course.
You must quote the source material.
Remember: you are not arguing your own personal opinion! Rather, you are arguing on behalf of the readings.
Note that you must use specific readings from your topic area.
a. Abortion is an act of killing, but it is nevertheless morally permissible in many circumstances. (Must use Thomson and at least two others from the folder)
b. Society's prima facie moral positions on prostitution and monogamy are both irrational - and likely do more harm than good. (Must use Nussbaum and McMurtry, Anderson optional)
c. Torture may, in some cases, help save lives; however, it is never morally permissible. (Must use Shue and Bowen, Hill optional)
