172 Words1 Page

Natural Law theory is a very appealing theory by Christians and those who believe in the significance in every single thing. Natural Law would answer the question “Should a family have a second child to save the first” with a yes. In this theory, natural function comes into play. This is that everything “serves to achieve some desirable end or goal” (182.) In this case, Marissa-Eve was conceived for a natural function. Her function was to keep her sister alive and well. She knows that she has a purpose in life and the Natural Law theory proves this. In book states “As Creator, God assigned a function to each thing and has ordered all things so that they can coexist in harmony” (183.) Mary Ayala and Marissa-Eve coexist in harmony. Mary is grateful

    Faith and reason are thought to be foundations of defense for religious beliefs, having the same purpose many theologians and philosophers argue their relationship. Many believing that reason relies on faith while others think that just because you do not believe in one you are going to believe in the other, Karen Armstrong would agree since she suggests that they are not like political parties. Many theorists believe that reason is more on the logical side of the spectrum while faith is directed towards your beliefs and understandings of religious and theological claims.

  • Mary Anne Warren's Argument For The Moral Permissibility Of Adulthood

    1111 Words  | 5 Pages

    Mary Anne Warren’s argument for the moral permissibility of abortion concentrates on the question of personhood and humanity with reference to a common anti-abortion argument and the discussion of potential personhood. Her argument builds on the belief that fetuses are not human beings and considers humanity through certain categories one must have in order to be considered a human person. Warren’s argument is logical, however, her argument is unsound because of a series of erroneous premises. Thus, because these premises are erroneous, an Aristotelian-type argument can be constructed that properly discusses potential persons and argues against Warren, thus aruging for the moral impermissibility of abortion.

While some argue that the Mirabal sisters sacrifices were not beneficial and worthwhile to the revolution because it resulted in the orphaning of their children and three young lives were lost. Others argue that the Mirabal sisters sacrifices were effective for the revolution since it changed the future of their country.
