ARTICLE THAT IS BEING CRITIQUED IS “FAMILY COERCION AND VALID CONSENT” by Stephen D. Mallary, Bernard Gert, and Charles M. Culver
Any paper you write for this course will have two primary goals: to explain and critique a particular argument for a particular conclusion. So any paper topic you choose for this course should have the following form:
“Explain and critique argument in defense of [the philosopher’s substantive conclusion]”
For example:
“Explain and critique Marquis’s argument in defense of the claim that abortion is seriously immoral”
“Explain and critique Thomson’s argument in defense of the claim that abortion is morally permissible”
