By demonstrating that pregnancy is analogous to a woman being hooked up to a stranger in need of her kidneys, Judith Jarvis Thompson is able to prove that abortion is acceptable even if a fetus has a right to life.”

 
Judith Jarvis Thompson’s analogy between a pregnant woman and a woman hooked up to a stranger in need of her kidneys falls apart on inspection. Hence, Thompson cannot in the end argue that women have a right to an abortion.”
How, if at all, might a utilitarian argue for the moral acceptability or moral unacceptability of euthanasia? What challenges would confront the utilitarian in this context?
By showing how free choice in the case of euthanasia de-values human life, David Velleman is able not only to show why euthanasia is unacceptable but to do so without either undermining the value of free choice or being paternalistic.”
Assess J.S. Mill’s arguments for the absolute right to individual free choice in the personal sphere. Does his self-regarding/other-regarding distinction stand? Can he invoke utilitarianism (as he does) to bolster this right?
J. S. Mill is faced with an insurmountable dilemma. On the one hand, if he insists that individuals have an absolute right to free choice, he is forced to stand by and let individuals harm themselves seriously when they choose to pursue dangerous activities. On the other hand, if he makes a role for the state in prohibiting these activities, he violates this right.”
Hate speech is a form of self-expression. Hence, it cannot be treated as political act. Nor can it be justifiably regulated or punished.”

Pornography [or prostitution] is a self-regarding activity. Hence, we cannot prohibit it as long as we take the right to free choice seriously.”
Peter Singer not only provides us with a convincing argument for his radical proposal to redistribute wealth from the financially well off to the world’s poor but makes the only argument on the subject that a utilitarian can make in this context.”
