Which of the Following Best Captures Norcross's Main Argument for the Claim

question 1045

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best captures Norcross's main argument for the claim that purchasing and consuming factory-raised meat is morally wrong?

• A) Fred's behavior is morally wrong; the behavior supporting factory farming is morally indistinguishable from Fred's behavior; so, that behavior is wrong.
• B) If we human beings were raised in factory-farm conditions, it would violate our rights; so, raising nonhuman animals in such conditions violates their rights.
• C) A vegetarian diet is healthier than a meat-eating diet; so, it is in our self-interests, and therefore is moral, to stop eating meat.
• D) If the roles of moral patients and agents were reversed, the patients would not think the agents were different from them in any morally relevant way; so, there's no morally relevant difference between human beings and nonhuman animals that justifies our consuming them.
