Reference no: EM133483769

Assignment:

Summarize the moral distinction between intending and foreseeing. Then, explain how and why this distinction might conceivably be important within some instances of three issues that we have studied: abortion, physician-assisted suicide/death, and euthanasia (the distinction may be relevant to instances of these practices in more than one way). Do you think the distinction is equally morally relevant in all these contexts of application (in all these 3 types of cases)? Explain why or why not?
