ethics

The next class meeting will be next Sunday, April 26, on Zoom.

Last time, we began by briefly considering the article assigned for homework: "After Birth Abortion." This article argues that, logically, there is no difference between the value of an infant before and after birth. So far so good. The disturbing part is that instead of seeing that therefore unborn children should be protected, the authors argue that born infants also should not.

If you missed the class and want to catch up:

• The class recording is now up! Please see your email for the link.
• (Optional) Read pp. 61-73 (p 20-32 in the PDF) in "Ethics & Justice: Chp 4."

Homework:

The next class meeting will be next Sunday, April 19.
No class this Sunday (4/12).

Last time, we listened to and discussed Act 3 of the audio drama Robert & Emma. In this episode,"Emma's Dream," Emma has to choose a Supreme Court decision that she disagrees with, and argue the opposite before a mock panel of judges in order to win a scholarship to law school. Issues of ethics, justice, and academic freedom are addressed.
