Write a paper on one of the following topics.  For length and due date, consult the syllabus.

1) "Suicide is always wrong. But helping someone to do what's wrong should be illegal. Hence, no one should be allowed to help another to commit suicide."  Evaluate this argument and its conclusion.

2) "Autonomy consists in being able to do what one wants to do."  Do you agree with this statement? If so, why? If not, why not?

3) Carefully state what you take to be the best argument for the claim that animals do not intrinsically belong in the moral
sphere and evaluate it.  Then state and justify your own view on the subject.

4) Can one coherently maintain that abortion is morally permissible and at the same time hold that in developed countries
eating animals is immoral?  Discuss.
