Not only can you join my science & philosophy of moral reasoning course this week (and if you haven’t already, check it out and give it a shot! … or please spread the word to anyone else who might be interested!), but there is now a bonus option you can choose if you want: special live interactive video conferencing.
On Wednesday (16 September 10pm-11pm East Coast time), Sunday (20 September 5pm-6pm East Coast time), and Saturday (26 September 6pm-7pm East Coast time), you can participate in a live video conference with me (and possibly other students) to ask more questions about the course and interact directly. The registration costs more for that feature, but it covers both those live encounters and the whole course.
You can also still take the course without the live video events for the regular rate instead. I’d love to see more students this month! You’ll find the readings and opportunity for productive forum discussion with an expert (and other students) quite valuable and rewarding.
Since we are on the topic of moral reasoning, and remembering about your position during the debate with Roth, what do you think about the legislation outlawing abortion after 20 weeks with exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother?
Roe v. Wade authorized outlawing elective third trimester abortions. I do not oppose doing that, although it’s a toss up on competing factors, so it depends on what people are looking to prevent. Meanwhile, rape/incest exceptions make zero sense. But life of the mother, for example, is straightforward self-defense law.
