Hello I need your assistance on these questions.
Warren (The Personhood Agrument) claims that the fact that we feel emotional repulsion toward the idea of late-term abortion (especially for what we might call trivial reasons, such as postponing a trip, wanting your baby to be born in Spring instead of winter, etc.) cannot take the place of moral reasoning.
Do you agree with the claim that emotional repulsion toward some action is always trumped by moral reasoning (if moral reasoning says it is okay)? Why or why not?
More generally, if an ethical theory generates a distasteful solution or result (and you may think this applies to Singer’s theory as well!), is that reason to say that theory is wrong? Or that that part of the theory is wrong?
