Question 14

Essay

Below is an Argument from Analogy in standard form. In 2 to 4 short paragraphs, do the following:
-First [1 point], suggest what you think is the best candidate for a genuine and morally relevant disanalogy between the cases being compared. "Premise 2 is false because…"
-Second [1 point], test your suggested disanalogy for moral relevance. Be sure to describe your relevance test and explain what it shows.
The argument:
[note: Plan B birth control is a pill you can take up to 72 hours after sex (for instance if protection was not used or the protection, such as a condom, failed) to prevent pregnancy. It works by preventing the newly fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Some people are opposed to the use of Plan B because they view it as wrong for the same reasons they think abortion is wrong.]
1) A vegetarian pharmacist has an obligation to fill medications that (because they were tested on animals) conflict with her personal values.
2)Anti-abortion pharmacists refusing to fill Plan B prescriptions because of personal objections is relevantly similar to vegetarian pharmacists refusing to fill medications tested on animals because of personal objections.
So, an anti-abortion pharmacist has a moral obligation to fill a Plan B prescription even if that conflicts with her personal values.
