Do you think there is a better way for us to define cannibalism using necessary and sufficient conditions? Is there a way for us to define cannibalism so that most people are not cannibals? (see the lecture if this doesn't make sense) When is cannibalism morally acceptable? When is it morally unacceptable? (The answer to these questions might help you refine your definition of cannibalism.)

The following is an excerpt from a discussion of Principlism, which we have studied. (https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/principlism) Consider, for example, the question of what health professionals should do when they discover that a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is having unprotected sex with partners who are ignorant of his condition. First, respect for the patient's autonomy supports a policy of medical confidentiality, requiring health professionals not to reveal to others private information discovered in the course of caring for patients. According to this policy, health professionals should do nothing to warn the sexual partners of their HIV-positive patient, as doing so would violate his confidentiality. Second, if there is evidence that public disclosure of the patient's condition would harm him economically, socially, psychologically, or physically, the principle of nonmaleficence would also urge…

In some cases of terminal illness, the patients suffering is so great that a (act) utilitarian would see death as the greater good.

I am a second-year computer science major. I decided to take this course because I am currently in the main anthropology class and thought it would be a good idea to take the lab class so that I could get the feeling of what it is like to be an anthropologist because it seems like a very interesting trade to me. The topic I am most interested in learning in these 8 weeks is the section on forensic anthropology because I want to see the process that scientists go through to help solve cases. This is not my first online class. I think something that a professor could have done to make an online class easier on us would be to have a way of communicating quickly like having a remind or what some of my other classes have done is have a class discord. An interesting fact about myself is I can build and customize mechanical keyboards. This was a hobby that I picked up during lockdown because I had nothing better to do. Another interesting fact about myself is that I will be the first in my…

For one commentator's perspective, read the following: https://www.washingtonpolicy.org/publications/detail/should-the-rest-of-us-pay-for-other-peoples-bad-lifestyle-choices Should we pay for others' poor lifestyle choices?
