Question

An essay on the morality of this action argued future conditionals can still be valuable to individuals as part of the utilitarian “Future Like Ours” argument. (15[1])A paper about this action notes that there is no law under which the bystanders to Kitty Genovese’s death could be prosecuted. That paper about this action juxtaposes “good” and “minimally decent” Samaritans to argue that laws cannot justly compel people (15[1])to be good. In discussing this action, an author questions whether (*) “person seeds” that (10[1])drift through a protected window have a right to use the house in which they land. That essay about this action uses a thought experiment involving a kidnapped person being adjoined to a violinist (10[2])in order to investigate cases in which the “right to life” of a person can come into conflict with another person’s right to their body. For 10 points, name this action defended in a Judith Jarvis Thompson paper. ■END■
