Section 13 Group 2

In class on Thursday we discussed the philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson.  The main topic we focused on was her thought experiment where over night magically a famous violinist is attached to you and when you wake up, you have a decision to make.  You can either keep them alive, or kill them.  We feel Thomson was trying to make a connection to the present day debate about abortion.  And and seems maybe a rape case.  Though we thought that Thomson's argument was weak and a little strange we still had a good discussion on abortion, being pro-choice, or being pro-life.  Usually this topic can a little sticky but our group seemed to agree on most things said.
