False Question 5 1 / 1 pts If one truly subscribes to the Sanctity of Life principle, then that person should be in favor of a ban on driving automobiles. True False The Sanctity of Life principle is appealed to as justification of "no action" in arguments opposing euthanasia/suicide. This position has a collary that only "God can end a life", so it's not up to humans to intervene "ahead of the appointed time" for death. We know that thousands die every year as a result of vehicular accidents. Given this fact, then to permit people to drive is intentionally deciding that thousands will lose their lives. Thus, if one truly holds a Sanctity of Life position then one should favor a ban on driving automobiles. Incorrect Question 6 0 / 1 pts A Utilitarian perspective on life would not outweigh right to life considerations. True False The assumption here is that one has a "utilitarian perspective" on life; that is, consequences determine the moral value of an action. "Right to life" is a deontological perspective. So "by definition" the former excludes giving any weight (consideration) to the latter. The statement is false just based on the meaning of the relevant concepts. Incorrect Question 7 0 / 1 pts A right to life includes with it a right to death, according to arguments against voluntary active euthanasia.
