After doing some research, I believe you are referring to this text with the following choices for the question. 

<span>"Indeed, it is the reduction ad absurdum of Slavery, when the governor of Virginia is forced to hang a man whom he declares to be a man of the most integrity, truthfulness and courage he has ever met."
</span>
A. It is absurd to declare someone is a man of integrity while sending him to the gallows.
B. For a man of integrity to be executed while slave owners run free is an absurd notion.
C.Slavery can only lead to absurd conclusions because the premises are flawed to begin with.
<span>D.These are absurd times if men of integrity are being sentenced to hang for what they believe in.
</span>
When Emerson referred to "reduction ad absurdum of slavery", he most likely means that: "Slavery can only lead to absurd conclusions because the premises are flawed to begin with."

What are the "extremely influential and particularly relevant" five moral principles of bioethics that Vaughn describes (collect
ryzh [129]

Explanation:

The five moral principles of Bioethics described by Vaughn are:

  1. Autonomy,
  2. Non-maleficence,
  3. Beneficence,
  4. Utility and
  5. Justice.

I believe that this list is complete because all five Vaughn principles are succinct and authentic, and unlike a more abstract approach, such as the normative ethical approach, such as the ethical approach to virtue and deontology, principlism corresponds to a methodology of better understanding and practicality for solving ethical dilemmas in the real world.

The five moral principles are of universal origin and not relative, because they are based on characteristics of a common morality, which is shared by all members of a society, is based on common sense and non-philosophical traditions.

This approach does not conflict with other ethical, theological and social approaches, as this is a consistent, practical approach that can be derived.

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition Forms include compromise, truce, or mediation.
Cerrena [4.2K]
Compromise, truce, and mediation are forms of the social interaction accommodation. Arbitration is also a form of accommodation. This form of social interaction requires both parties in the interaction to give up something they want or not fully get their way to create a peaceful interaction. The other forms of interaction are cooperation, conflict, exchange, and competition.
