Choose one of the following topics to write an essay, 450-500 words, APA style format and a minimum of 3 references.


Topic A: Abortion


What do you think of the relation between the law and morality regarding abortion? Do you think that if abortion is immoral, it thus ought to be illegal, or if morally permissible then it ought to be for this reason legally permissible? Explain.


Topic B: Egoism


Psychological egoism is the view that all persons, without exception, seek their own self-interest. Ethical egoism is the view that recognizes that perhaps not all persons seek their own self-interest but all should do so.
