None is strong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Argument I is not strong because it is based on an appeal to emotion. The statement that &#8220;nobody should be allowed to end his\/her life at his\/her will as this goes against the basic tenets of humanity&#8221; is an emotional appeal, not a logical argument. There is no evidence to support the claim that ending one&#8217;s life is &#8220;against the basic tenets of humanity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Argument II is not strong because it is based on a false dilemma. The statement that &#8220;patients undergoing terrible suffering and having absolutely no chance of recovery should be liberated from suffering through mercy death&#8221; implies that there are only two options: either patients undergo terrible suffering and die, or they are killed through mercy death. However, there are other options, such as providing patients with palliative care to ease their suffering.<\/p>\n<p>Argument III is not strong because it is based on a circular argument. The statement that &#8220;even mercy death is a sort of killing and killing can never be legalized&#8221; is circular because it defines mercy death as a type of killing and then concludes that killing can never be legalized. This argument does not provide any evidence to support the claim that killing can never be legalized.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, none of the arguments are strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;None is strong&#8221; option2=&#8221;Only I and II are strong&#8221; option3=&#8221;Only II and III are strong&#8221; option4=&#8221;Only I and III are strong E.
