Problem

Read each following arguments from analogy. In your first post, choose two of these arguments and evaluate their logical strength using methods discussed in the textbook:

A. "You wouldn't think eating a person is okay, would you? A cow is a living breathing being just like a person is, so why do you think that eating a cow is fine?"

B. "Having children is just like buying a house. Like buying a house, raising a child properly is an expensive prospect, and just as you shouldn't take on a mortgage you can't afford, so too you shouldn't have children unless you can afford to do so."

C. "Covid-19 is an easily spreadable virus just like the flu. But we don't lock down the country or take extreme measures to prevent the spread of the flu, so we shouldn't do so for Covid-19 either.."

D. "Of course it is fine to mandate the Covid-19 vaccine. We have many other vaccines, like the polio vaccine and the measles vaccine, that everyone is required to get. So we should do the same with the Covid vaccine."

E. "I am completely on board with the proposed law to require voters to present valid ID before they can vote. I mean you have to present ID to buy alcohol or cigarettes, to board a plane, legally drive a car, and to get into an R-rated movie, so why should voting be any different?"

F. "You wouldn't commit to buying a car without test driving it first, so why would you commit to marrying someone without living together first?"
