For Aristotle, which of the following is necessary to achieve a state of well-being or eudaimonia?  

The opposite of virtue is weakness.

The philosopher, Francis Beckwith, gives a few reasons why the default position should be to protect living human organisms from conception until birth unless there are sufficient reasons to think otherwise.   Which of the following is not one of his reasons for arguing that the default position is against abortion choice?

METAPHYSICS OF PERSONHOOD: Choose the answer that is NOT one of the features of the Substantial View of Personhood (or the Self).  

In Book I.7, we find Aristotle’s famous “function argument.” Here, he examines what plant, animal, and human souls have in common and what distinguishes them from one another.  The function will be to be the good and noble performance of this function.  What power of the soul is peculiar to man? Read all of Book I.7 and 1098a1-10 (pp. 10 – 12 in Oxford)

There is no common ground in the abortion debate.

Which of the following is not an important question in the modern abortion/Infanticide debate:

Roe v. Wade (1973) said that the default position of the American Constitution is that no living human organism has a right to life until it is born (the Supervenient-Birth view of personhood), but if states want to, they could pass laws to protect fetuses after the point of viability (able to survive outside the woman’s body) which was 27 weeks in 1973.  . Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why philosophers argue “Supervenience-Viability” is problematic as a criterion of personhood (supervenient view)?

Some proponents of abortion/feticide argue that this procedure which has ended the lives of 60 million human organisms in the USA since 1973 is  a justified means of population control in the world, and that abortion/feticide (and, perhaps, infanticide as Margaret Sanger argued) is also a justified means of relieving economic burdens on the family.  . What is a possible problem with this argument? 

The postmodern or relativistic view of the self (that many American laws assume and politicians like President Obama endorsed) says that the mother decides the personhood of the fetus/infant.  Which of the following has not been raised as an objection to this view?
