A. The ‘Conservative Argument’ is based on two premises: it is wrong to kill an innocent human‚ and fetuses are innocent humans; therefore abortion is wrong (Singer‚ 1979‚ p.107). Whilst this argument is valid‚ there have been many attempts to show that the second premise is wrong. The primary method to show this has been to find the “moral dividing line” between fetus and human‚ most notably viability‚ when the fetus can exist independently (Singer‚ 1979‚ p.107-108). This main objection is flawed

reading and understanding each philosopher’s argument I agree with Thomson. Unlike Marquis who argues that most abortions are wrong because it deprives a fetus of its future‚ and Warren who states that abortions are permissible because a fetus is not a person; Thomson believes that abortions are permissible under normal circumstances because a woman has a right to stop something from using her body against her own will. We will look at Thomson’s argument compared to Marquis to prove that Thomson is

Hi everyone For this week discussion‚ I would like to discuss about the story by Hunter S. Thompson‚ fear and loathing in America. The story portrays about the 9/11 event and its possible consequence about to happen. The author speaks about the lost innocent lives in their own home land‚ by their own airplanes by mysterious enemy. The story also touches the incapability of the US leadership for not giving the public about the attack and the once responsible for that. Part of the story that kept

I do not think for one bit that her analogy of “unplugging the violinist” analogy works because everyone has a right to their own body and choices‚ unless in the case of rape. Her analogy about “unplugging the violinist” is off the chart and is not similar to pregnancy. In some cases‚ mothers have the choice to have intercourse with another human to make a child‚ while others do not have the choice because of rape. Mothers choose to have an abortion or to not have an abortion. Others might influence

does that compare to classic writing? Clive Thompson‚ author of Smarter Than You Think‚ continuously supports his mark that the Internet‚ regardless of its credibility‚ is progressively transforming today’s way of writing‚ allowing society to write more effectively and for longer lengths. Based on Thompson’s claims he makes in “Public Thinking”‚ it is apparent that appeals to logos‚ collaboration‚ and audience have helped immensely to express his argument of how technology is impacting modern writing

I believe the author’s message is that masculinity is a key factor in a young man’s life and masculinity shapes their life. The author heavily inflicts the importunacy of incorporating masculinity into his reading. The author‚ Copper Thompson‚ suggests that violence maintains the two most critical socializing forces in a boy’s life. He also suggests that society advocates violence. I agree society definitely enforces physical violence‚ to an extent. Sports‚ movies etc. promotes violence as competiveness

was browsing the posts when I came across a fascinating woman and I clicked on her photo. My Person was sitting next to me when he said‚ “who is that?!” So I clicked on her profile and viewed her photos with him. We looked through pictures of The Violinist. “Wow. She is absolutely stunning.” He said. I agreed. At the time‚ My Person and I were no longer in a relationship. I wanted space while he was desperately trying to cling onto what little of a relationship we had left. So‚ without his consent
