It outlines some common pro-life and pro-choice slogans, and then examines philosopher Mary Anne Warren's two senses of "human" and her criteria for personhood. The document also discusses philosopher Peter Singer's view that personhood does not begin at birth or conception, and that in some circumstances it could be acceptable to kill newborn infants with disabilities or health problems.

Class #08
The document discusses different perspectives on personhood and abortion. It outlines common pro-life and pro-choice slogans, and explores assumptions behind these slogans. It also examines points in development that personhood may be attained, such as conception, birth, or after birth. The document references arguments that killing disabled infants or fetuses with disabilities is not wrong and can increase total happiness. It questions at what point a fetus or newborn becomes an individual capable of having a life of its own.
Class #08
The document discusses personhood and debates around abortion. It outlines different views on when personhood begins, from conception to birth or later. It also discusses philosopher Peter Singer's views, including that killing disabled infants may be morally acceptable in some cases, such as when it leads to the birth of a child with better life prospects. Singer argues that neither fetuses nor newborns can be considered individuals and that replacing them may be an acceptable option.
Class #08
I. Indirect abortion occurs when a procedure to save the woman's life results in the fetus's death, whereas direct abortion is when a procedure is performed with the intent of killing the fetus to save the woman's life.
II. Mary Ann Warren argues that personhood begins after birth based on criteria like an individual's ability to regard itself as a distinct entity. She claims that killing a disabled newborn is not morally equivalent to killing a person and may not be wrong.
III. Warren's arguments place personhood after birth but raise questions about whether choice should be the sole consideration in the abortion debate.
Final initial idea
The story is set in a dystopian future where the population has tripled and food is scarce, forcing the government to establish compulsory national service. A troubled teenage convict is forced to conscript others or face prosecution and his parents being conscripted. He tries to persuade a girl named Polly to enlist, but she attempts to run away. A violent struggle ensues as she fights for her survival, ultimately resulting in the teenager strangling Polly to death, overwhelmed by the consequences of his actions.

Optimum Time & Attendance Mgmt1
The document discusses an optimum time attendance system that calculates employee work hours, leave, absence, overtime, and late or early entries. It provides security and user privileges at the department or organization level. The system supports multiple shifts and flexi-shifts, and allows parameters to be set for grace periods, overtime minimums, and other attendance factors. Employee details are mapped to their assigned work timings, and exemptions can be made. Data is transferred from time attendance machines to servers or computers, and the system generates reports on attendance, lateness, overtime, leave, and absence.
Magazines in the uk
The document discusses magazines in the UK music industry. It provides examples of some major music magazine publishers in the UK like Bauer Media Group which publishes Q Magazine and Kerrang, Immediate Media Company which publishes Top of the Pops, and DMC Publishing which publishes Mixmag. It also gives details about the type of music each magazine covers, their prices, circulations, and frequencies.
Mountain Lion by Margarito
Mountain lions live in habitats ranging from mountains to deserts to forests, including parts of California. Their diet consists of various mammals like deer and coyotes as well as smaller animals such as mice and rabbits. Young mountain lions stay with their mothers until around 3 years old, at which point they can mate and establish territories of their own. The document also includes a poem about mountain lions and their habitat in the mountains.
Electronically Stored Health Data (ESHD): pluses, minuses and compromises
Electronically Stored Health Data (ESHD): pluses, minuses and compromisesHealth Informatics New Zealand
Electronically stored health data (ESHD) provides benefits like improved treatment through better access to patient information across care contexts, facilitating pay-for-performance programs and research. However, ESHD also raises privacy issues as data could be used to identify harms, stigmatize patients, or exploit personal relationships. Compromise solutions to balance these ethical considerations include obtaining patient consent, encrypting data, and limiting access through policies like those used for ANZDATA collection, Boston pharmacogenetic research, and Southlink general practice records.Roof Coatings Presentation
Wessex Shopfitters Ltd. offers liquid roof coatings that can protect against leaks for up to 25 years when installed. They provide roof coating installation and have experience coating roofs for various stores. Their services include an inspection of the roof, surface preparation, application of the coating, and a guarantee backed by insurance.
Mobile privacysurvey presentation
TaintDroid is a system that provides dynamic taint tracking and analysis for Android. It tracks privacy sensitive information like location, contacts etc. at variable, message, method and file levels with 14% overhead. Testing 30 apps found 20 shared information unexpectedly, like sending device IDs or location to ad servers. TaintDroid effectively demonstrates the need for stronger mobile privacy but has limitations like requiring OS modifications and false positives. Future work aims to reduce false positives, integrate crowdsourcing and detect privacy information leakage attempts.
LOGISTICS WAREHOUSE 2
A warehouse is an area for temporary storage of goods until they can be delivered to their final destination. Warehouses aim to store goods in a way that conserves and protects them, maintains organized records of inventory, and allows for efficient distribution. Reasons for storing goods include reducing transportation costs, coordinating supply and demand, supporting production and marketing processes by having a reserve of materials available. Warehouses must safely store goods, control inventory, and maintain clean and organized storage areas. Storage methods vary depending on the type and volume of goods but aim to maximize space utilization and accessibility while protecting stored items.

Presentation11
Today's class will involve a 25-minute activity on reproductive technology where students simulate shopping at a sperm bank or filling out forms for embryo cryopreservation. Students will then share their conclusions with the other half of the class for 20 minutes. Finally, students will evaluate the Church's teaching on assisted reproduction using this activity and an email from a Saint Mary's alum over 25 minutes.
Presentation10
The document outlines the plan for a class which includes taking a moral stance on abortion, applying Church teachings to positions held by Cuomo and Pacholczyk, evaluating their views for an upcoming paper, and a self-assessment where students reflect on their contributions and if the class changed their paper perspective.
Presentation9
This document outlines an agenda for a class discussion that will include nudging both the pro-life and pro-choice sides on their perspectives. It will focus on considering implications of twinning and Warren's criteria for personhood from the pro-life side, and assessing Callahan's critique of choice and its implications for feminism from the pro-choice side. Students will also self-assess their contributions and whether the discussion made their views on abortion less black and white.
