Instruction(Write out brief answers to this week's discussion questions and submit them via a direct message to me on Slack no later than 11:59pm on Sunday, August 29th. Your answers should be brief, no more than a few sentences each. Be prepared to discuss them in class.) 1. Suppose that we were to encounter some new kind of being: a new kind of animal, or an alien on another planet, or a new kind of artificial intelligence. We want to decide whether it is okay to harm, kill, or enslave the being, either for food, to help us with work, or just for fun. How should we decide whether this would be morally okay? What information about the being should we try to gather in order to decide? 2. What do you think is the most persuasive reason to think that there is nothing morally wrong with eating meat? 3. Wallace focuses entirely on lobsters. But what are the implications for other livestock animals, like pigs and cows, which are unlike lobsters in that they have much more humanlike central nervous systems and brain structures?
