Writing assignment: Essay #2.

"Huxley's Lenina is the logical consequence of Singer's utilitarianism."

Take a firm stand on this quotation. Do you agree with it? Or do you disagree with it? In weighing your options, it is crucial that you understand Singer's arguments in the chapter we have read from Practical Ethics. Whether you agree or disagree with the quotation, make sure that you know exactly how Singer would defend himself against such a claim.

Your response should be no more than three (3) typed, double-spaced pages of careful reasoning. Be sure that your reader knows where you stand and can follow your argument throughout the paper. For that matter, make sure you know where you stand. Use evidence. At the same time, be concise and very to the point.

This assignment is straightforward and appropriately challenging. I recommend that you begin it as soon as possible.

As always, I will not expect your paper to be perfect. I will simply be pleased if you write the best paper you have ever written in your life.

This paper is due by class time on Thursday, April 9.
