Pleаse write essаys in respоnse tо TWO оf the following prompts. Answer AT LEAST one from Section B (both cаn be from section B if you want). Section A 1. How does Thomson argue that abortion is permissible when the life of the mother is at stake? Present, and evaluate, two objections to her argument. 2. Imagine that there is a world famous violinist, who is suffering from a rare and fatal blood disease. You are the only person who can save him, because your blood is the only match for his. The only way you can save him is by having your kidney attached to his by a tube for 9 months. Suppose you wake up one morning, having had sex with someone the previous night, and find that you are hooked up to the violinist, and this was somehow caused by you having sex. The tube is very long, flexible, and unintrusive, so for the first few months you can go about your normal life, with only moderate inconvenience, but as the months pass it will shorten and become less flexible, making the inconvenience ever greater until the last few weeks when you will just be longing for it to be removed. The violinist will be unconscious throughout the period, so he will not intrude on your privacy. It will merely be increasingly inconvenient and increasingly painful. Detaching the tube now will be relatively painless for you, but it will get more painful as time goes on, and after nine months it will be very painful (exactly as painful as childbirth), but will only involve a tiny risk of serious illness or death (in fact, exactly the same risk as childbirth under modern medical conditions). If you detach it before the 9 months are up the violinist will die, visibly and instantly. Is it morally permissible for you to detach yourself? Section B 3. How, precisely, does Marquis argue that abortion is seriously immoral? Present, and evaluate, two objections to his argument. 4. How does Schouten use the Dutchy case to argue against Thomson? Present and assess at least two objections to her argument. 5. Peter Singer argues that affluent individuals have a stringent obligation to donate as much money as they possibly can to charities which address poverty, disease and starvation in the developing world. Present his argument and consider at least two objections to it.
