This Critical Thinking Assignment is designed to help you exercise in critical thinking skill of comparing and contrasting related cases to arrive at a more nuanced ethical view. For this purpose, you can appropriately apply general rules or principles to situations that differ in specific ways. Using a short list of these eight cases, I would like to have you address two main questions in class: (a) In looking at these cases, where would you draw the moral line between permissible and impermissible, and why? and (b) Would you draw the moral line in the same place as the legal line? Why or why not? I hope these two questions will get you to think beyond ideological slogans and entrenched cultural positions. It’s important that you grapple with distinctions between elective and therapeutic or quasi-therapeutic abortions, as well as between legality and morality.

It is time to start working on your three page papers. All papers

should include a “normative” claim in the first few sentences of the

firts paragraph. It is permitted to use the first person singular “I”

in philosophy papers. You may start a philosophy paper by stating your

normative claim, for example, “In this essay I will argue the Kant’s

deontological ethics are superior to Mill’s Utilitarianism when it comes

to ___________.” You would of course fil in the blank with one of the

topics we have gone over in our course. You might also begin your

essay, “In this essay I will argue that Aristotle’s virtue ethics should

be applied to issues of sexuality.” Just make sure you have a “should”

or “ought” in the claim of your paper. This will ensure that your

calim is a normative claim, which is appropriate for an ethics essay.

Your essays should be three full pages – not including the endnotes and

title page. If you want to start early and get my advice on a draft,

then feel free to send a draft to my email before you post your final

draft on blackboard.
