- How could Blackburn and McGinn – but not Thomson or Little – respond to the sorts of arguments proposed by Lee and George for the wrongness of abortion?
- What is the relevance in the abortion debate of distinguishing human persons from human beings? Might there be non-human persons or human beings that are not persons?
- The issue of free will/determinism is obviously too large to be dealt with quickly and glibly. Blackburn’s approach to it is to background the metaphysical question of whether people might do otherwise than they do (as opposed to their actions, and their decisions being a result of pre-existing causes not under their control) in favor of considering whether determinism, if true, would show “the futility of ethics”. His position, finally, is that even if human action is in some sense “determined”, that ethics nevertheless need not be futile. How is that supposed to work?
