Fourth Question SetProvide answers to the five essay questions below. (Note: on questions one through four you should not praise or criticize the authors you discuss. The point of those questions is to explain them, not to state whether you agree or disagree.) – 1. What is euthanasia? And what is the difference between active and passive euthanasia? Finally, give a description of Rachels’ bathtub example in your own words, and explain why he thinks it shows that active and passive euthanasia are morally equivalent.- 2. Why does Steinbock believe that the AMA doesn’t make the distinction between active and passive euthanasia? What distinction does she think it uses instead? And how does she justify cessation of extraordinary treatment?- 3. How does Brock justify voluntary active euthanasia? What restrictions would he place on it? And what does he think would be the consequences of permitting it?- 4. What is Hardwig’s “duty to die?” Under what sorts of circumstances does he think this idea would come into play? And what does he think would be its effects?- 5. Is euthanasia morally acceptable or not? Explain what you believe about when it is moral and/or immoral to perform euthanasia and explain why your views are correct on this issue.

1)8 experimentFor this week’s thought experiment, we need to refresh just a little on Moore. Ross was a student of Moore, and both use intuition as part of their arguments. Moore argued that, regardless of the production of pleasure, beauty was still good. Many of you preferred to be beautiful even as your happiness remained unchanged. Many more preferred truth over a little happiness. Ross makes a similar thought experiment. Moore focuses on the production of the good, but Ross thinks there is more that is valuable apart from production. So, just like in Moore’s example, take two scenarios. In both scenarios, the same amount of good is produced (although which good might alter a little). In one scenario, you break a promise. In the other, you keep it. Is one better than the other? If production is equal so you opt to keep the promise, this means promise-keeping is inherently valuable. Does it matter if it’s a big promise or a little promise? Remember that regardless, it’s the same production of good. So, if you’re breaking a big promise, it’s for some other big result. Please write 250 words and do not plagiarize.2)9 discussesRawls’ Veil of Ignorance means that we ought to be entirely unbiased. We are to take an objective stance when it comes to justice. To Rawls, justice is blind. However, we already read Railton, who is ENTIRELY against this. Is there not moral content to family and friends? Or are those relationships to be discarded as soon as some moral issue arises? So, we’ll debate this one more time now that we’re all more educated. Does alienation make morality better or worse? Is it just to be blind to our own humanity?(For this the answer will have to be based on being alienated from my emotions will make me more moral) 250 words

Write a letter to George Dickie (regarding his own proposal — the Institutional Theory of Art – or regarding any other assigned readings from An Introduction…about these writers or their topics).In your letter, describe to the author your personal responses to their text. Your letter should describe your responses and the reasons for them. The letter can take any form you like as long as it is a response to the reading you chose. You may write in any voice you like as long as it allows you to take the assignment seriously.You are free to refer to actual artists and artworks, to (correctly!) use technical terminology from philosophy and other disciplines, and to make use of information you learned in classes in addition to this one. It is ok to refer to information that was not available to the author you are writing to and to assume your chosen author has the imagination to follow your discussion, as long as you make your assumptions clear.So, for example, you may refer to art and artists and historical events from periods after your chosen author’s lifetime.Be sure to give enough information so that your reader can tell which ideas or concepts you are talking about. You can use a hypothetical classmate as an approximate listener, i.e., what would another student in class need to know to identify the concept you have in mind and to understand your response?If you need help getting started, consider addressing one of these questions:In what ways do you find the author’s ideas are consistent with your own experiences of art?Are there ways you would modify the author’s ideas?Do you have questions for the author you chose and why did they arise?Do you see revealing connections, directions, or conflicts within the author’s ideas?Do you see connections between an author’s context and their thinking?General Instructions for the Essays1. Essays should be 3 – 4 double-space pages.2. Type all essays and use a normal margin and type. It is not necessary to write a very long essay, even for the best grade. On the other hand, if your essay is too short, you are probably staying too close to the surface. Are you sure you didn’t skip steps?3. Your answer will be graded on the basis of demonstrated understanding of the course materials, thoughtfulness, organization and clarity, and writing mechanics (for example, grammar, spelling, and sentence organization).4. For short essays, the requirements for citations are relatively relaxed:a. If you refer to an artwork, be sure to give its full name and the artist’s or author’s name.b.Give the source for all direct quotes and write the informationin parentheses right after the quoted material. Thus,c. For quotes from Neill and Ridley, you can use this abbreviated form:Essay Author, “Essay Title”, The Philosophy of Art, page xyz. Similarly,“Dickie, Introduction, page xyz”, works for the book by George Dickie.d. Give the standard bibliographical information for any other sources you refer to or quote from including other textbooks (i.e., author, title, publisher, year of publication, and page number). FYI, this is much like the system that Philosophy journals use for book reviews.Please use the citations I attached down below.
