The following passage commits what fallacy?   To cast abortion as a solely private moral question,…is to lose touch with common sense: How human beings treat one another is practically the definition of a public moral matter. Of course, there are many private aspects of human relations, but the question whether one human being should be allowed fatally to harm another is not one of them. Abortion is an inescapably public matter.

Read the following prompt.  Then: 1. Standardize the argument in the passage; 2. Identify the fallacy, if any, present in the argument and 3. Explain the reasoning behind your choice.    “People argue incessantly over the ethics of euthanasia, despite the answer being obvious — merely an extension our basic concern for the wellbeing and dignity of human beings.  Euthanasia is the intentional, often doctor-assisted, ending of one’s own life.  And, while the term itself does not make essential reference to any particular source of motivation. we assume that the rational euthanasia-seeker does so because their life has become intolerable to them — either because it promises an unacceptable amount of pain, or because the continuance of their life would result in their losing or sacrificing what they take to be valuable or worth living for (as in the case of irreversible demential or other loss of faculties).  Opponents of euthanasia argue on multiple grounds, but most fall in one of two camps: (1) arguing on the grounds of the sanctity of human life; or (2) arguing from the irreversible character of euthanasia, exacerbated by the high possibility of error (in the euthanasia-seeker’s reasoning, or the medical professional’s judgement of the euthanasia seeker’s competence).  Both lines of reasoning fail, however.  Against 1, I argue that recognizing the sanctity of human life actually requires euthanasia, since the right to end one’s life is clearly is clearly a basic moral endowment of human beings.  Against 2, I merely reiterate my first point; regardless of the difficulty in real-world implementation, the bundle of rights available to all human beings qua human beings (we tend to call these “human rights”) must include the right to self-termination if they are to mean anything at all.  I conclude, therefore, that all human beings have a strong moral right to euthanasia.”

The following argument probably commits the Slippery Slope Fallacy:    “No, you cannot get a pet snake.  If you get a pet snake, you’ll have to buy mice for it.  And if you buy mice for it, you’ll have to touch those mice.  And you know you’re deathly allergic to mice…”

Juan argued that bluegrass is the best food for cattle in the Midwest. Sammy objected by citing how the authorities at the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommended alfalfa over bluegrass for Midwestern cattle. If Juan counters this objection by arguing that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is a bloated bureaucracy with too much fat that deserves to be cut in the next federal budget bill, then Juan has committed which fallacy?
