The Case for Animal Rights by Tom Regan - 2 views

  •  
    This is an actual case which demonstrated the various points as to why the use of animals as a resource is wrong. Tom Reagan explains that the people who are against the right of animals believe that their only purpose in our world is to be eaten, surgically manipulated and to be exploited for sport or money. It even sounds awful to say such a thing.

    Where is this from? This is a file on the web but who publishes it and who is Tom Regan?
  •  
    Tom Regan is an American philosopher who specializes in animal rights theory. He teaches at North Carolina State University. He is the author of numerous books on the philosophy of animal rights, including The Case for Animal Rights. His studies, books and cases have significantly influenced the modern animal liberation movement.
  •  
    I was not able to sticky note the page but here are some parts i would have highlighted: Singer and Frey both offer arguments that are motivated by utilitarian concerns Regan offers his own Rights View as an adequate moral theory: to respect the rights of an individual is to treat that individual as if she was inherently valuable rather than merely useful (improvement on utilitarianism) Nothing less than the abolition of using animals as food, in science, and in industry is morally acceptable according to Regan

The Animal Rights View - 2 views

  • The capacity for suffering is a prerequisite for having interests at all, a condition that must be met before we can speak of rights.
  • In both the historic and modern views of animal rights, the key point is "sentience," or the capacity to experience pain or pleasur
  • In the animal rights view, if a being is capable of suffering, there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration.

  • They don't have to speak a word. Screaming, writhing about, crying and other behavior tells us they are in pain. We see the same sort of behavior in animals.
  •  
    This website gives us the utilitarian point of view on how animal cruelty and their use as resource is continuously horrid. Jeremy Bentham said that as long as a being is capable of suffering, then there can be no moral justification for refusing to take that suffering into consideration. He said that the question is not can animals reason but do animals suffer?

    What affects us the most in our society: Suffering of a infant or the suffering of an animal? Obviously, we would rather an animal suffer opposed to an infant. If someone has to suffer, it should be animals because it the extreme is outrageous.

The Taxpayer's Bill of Rights - 0 views

  •  
    This site has a link to a PDF file that is the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. I thought that this would help in the debate to prove that taxation isn't theft because in this scenario, the supposed thief (governement) is giving rights to the people it is "stealing" from. This proves that the government isn't stealing our money: it is taking a percentage of our incomes so that it may better maintain the society we treasure and thrive in. The PDF contains the 15 rights that a taxpayer enjoys.

UN Investigator Urges Probe of Alleged US Torture | CommonDreams.org - 1 views

  • Nowak, an Austrian human rights lawyer who has been U.N. special rapporteur on torture for six years, called for an investigation of all allegations of U.S. torture and collusion with states that use torture since the fight against militants began in earnest after the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.
  • Nowak also reiterated calls by him and other U.N. officials for the Obama administration to investigate reports from reams of leaked military documents showing U.S. troops killed Iraqi civilians or ignored prisoner abuse by Iraqis.
  • "What we need is a full investigation into torture practices by U.S. officials -- whether it's military officials, CIA officials or private security companies," he said, adding it should include those "who willingly and knowingly handed over detainees to other states" that torture. An ideal probe, Nowak said, would be conducted by a special prosecutor or panel of international experts.
  •  
    Changes in the US torture policies. An Austrian human rights lawyer named Manfred Nowak works for the U.N. as a special rapporteur and has been doing so for six years. Nowak wants to have a full scale investigation done on what exactly is happening regarding their policies on torture. He questions exactly what the Obama administration is doing and hopes for an investigation. 
  •  
    I am so happy you found this information because after reading how U.S troops killed iraqi civilians and ignored prisoner abuse, I was in total shock. Nowak is doing a great thing fighting for the rights of humans because no one deserves torture, it only makes matters worse.
  •  
    Manfred Nowak is trying to accomplish an amazing task and I greatly agree with what he is doing. I hope that this investigation happens regarding the policies of torture. Hopefully was can also see what Obama's administration is doing. Torture is never the answer.

euthanasia - 0 views

  • By denying them their right to euthanasia, the government satisfies its own moral standards but ignores the outcome of its action. Some patients cannot bear the excruciating agony that accompanies terminal illness and when they cannot obtain physician-assisted suicide, try to kill themselves even though they may not be in a condition to do so. They may also beg for the help of loved ones not trained in medicine in their suicide. As a result, the suicide may often be messy, painful and sometimes unsuccessful. It is unfair on the family and friends of the patients to have to go through such a nightmare when all they want is to free their loved ones of pain and torment.
  • In addition, doctors are afraid to openly discuss end-of-life decisions with patients due to illegalities. This prevents an open and honest relationship between doctor and patient in which the doctor can discover the patient's wishes regarding his/her own life and death.
  • Currently there are cases of misuse of euthanasia, for example in cases where the patient is pressured by family members to give consent to the ending of their lives. The legalization of voluntary euthanasia provides an opportunity for safeguards against just such a situation, and other instances of coercion and fraud. The legalizing of voluntary euthanasia would provide a set of guidelines and regulations for the parties involved to follow, such as psychological counseling and psychiatric evaluation

Libertarian Party of Canada - 0 views

  • Government is force. Libertarians believe in a win-win voluntary society where people cooperate through trade and charity. The moral issue here is that Libertarians believe that it is not right to take forcefully from one person in order to provide for another's needs. Libertarians believe in minimizing taxation and funding government by other means if possible. Welfare for those in need should be provided through voluntary means. Forcing others to "give" is not just or generous. Government should not be deciding who needs welfare, because welfare is damaging to some people because it encourages dependency, lack of initiative, and poor planning. A free economy will produce more wealth for everyone. Taxation is robbing people of their wealth and the ability to invest that wealth in new business, which would benefit the poor.
  • Think of the possibilities for giving in a society with extremely low taxation. People are concerned about providing for their own families and living responsibly and they need to be free to make their own decisions with their money. Most people in our daily lives are good most of the time - otherwise society wouldn't function - we trust people enough as equals. However, the more power we give to others, the more skewed things become. As Lord Acton said, Power corrupts.
  •  
    This is a site run by the Libertarians of Canada. They believe in minimizing the total amount of taxation. They also believe in the pricipal that someone's property is solely their's and no one else has the right to take it, even the government.

Correctional Service Canada- Torture Laws - 3 views

  •  
    In this text we learn how Canada has strict rules against the torture of prisoners. The government believes that no matter what, we must respect the dignity of a human being and that no cruel punishments should ever be brought upon prisoners. There is said to be no international treaty that deals exclusively with the treatment of prisoners and the conditions of incarceration but one of the more known and respected instrument that deals with the rights of these criminals is the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners.
  •  
    Kelsey, This text is pretty interesting because while reading it, I learned a lot about Canada's correctional service system. I know about the basics but some things were explained in detail and I learned things that I never knew before. Now I will be able to link specific cases with our correctional system and get a better understanding!

    This website is very credible. It also contains a lot of information. What I really like about it is the fact that it not only gives you an example to prove your point, but it also contains a lot of points to build a case for euthanasia. This website pointed some of the most interesting points for your case, which will help me refute during our debate.
  •  
    I really like this website, because it gave a couple personal situations involving euthanasia, which allowed me to understand why someone might want euthanasia to be legal. The site also contains a lot of information including what the law in Canada and the U.S. was for euthanasia, and clearly explained why it is an issue. There are aspects in the text that favor euthanasia and others that explain why it should not be legal.

against euthanasia - 2 views

shared by michelle tappert on 08 Dec 10 - Cached
  •  
    pay special attention to the examples that will help show how euthanasia is not right. Example 1: an elderly person in a nursing home, who can barely understand a breakfast menu, is asked to sign a form consenting to be killed. Is this voluntary or involuntary? Will they be protected by the law? How? Right now the overall prohibition on killing stands in the way. Once one signature can sign away a person's life, what can be as strong a protection as the current absolute prohibition on direct killing? Answer: nothing. Example 2: a woman is suffering from depresssion and asks to be helped to commit suicide. One doctor sets up a practice to "help" such people. She and anyone who wants to die knows he will approve any such request. He does thousands a year for $200 each. How does the law protect people from him? Does it specify that a doctor can only approve 50 requests a year? 100? 150? If you don't think there are such doctors, just look at recent stories of doctors and nurses who are charged with murder for killing dozens or hundreds of patients.

      Socrates here says that he cannot praise Love the way Phaedrus does (because he said it all and laid all manner of claims of Love). 
  • Socrates then proceeded as follows:-
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      An example of the famous Socratic method is about to unfold...
  • Is Love of something or of nothing?
  • The inference that he who desires something is in want of something, and that he who desires nothing is in want of nothing, is in my judgment,
    • Daryl Bambic
       
      Socrates gets Agathon to agree with his claim that we desire that which we don't possess OR that which we are not.
  • nd yet, added Socrates, if a man being strong desired to be strong, or being swift desired to be swift, or being healthy desired to be healthy, in that case he might be thought to desire something which he already has or is. I give the example in order that we may avoid misconception. For the possessors of these qualities, Agathon, must be supposed to have their respective advantages at the time, whether they choose or not; and who can desire that which he has? Therefore when a person says, I am well and wish to be well, or I am rich and wish to be rich, and I desire simply to have what I have-to him we shall reply: "You, my friend, having wealth and health and strength, want to have the continuance of them; for at this moment, whether you choose or no, you have them. And when you say, I desire that which I have and nothing else, is not your meaning that you want to have what you now have in the future?
  • Then he and every one who desires, desires that which he has not already, and which is future and not present, and which he has not, and is not, and of which he is in want;
  • First, is not love of something, and of something too which is wanting to a man
  • Love is the love of beauty and not of deformity

  • Is not the good also the beautiful?
  • Then in wanting the beautiful, love wants also the good?
