Question

Decide which statements are fallacies and if they are a fallacy, explain your reasoning.

1. Abortion is murder — and it doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about
killing a human embryo or a human fetus.
2. Euthanasia is not a good thing, it’s murder — and it doesn’t matter how
painful one’s dying may be.
3. Never loan a tool to a friend. I did once and never got it back.

4.“Shoot fi rst and ask questions afterward” is a good epigram for the kind
of foreign policy we need.
5. “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you can fool all the
people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time.”
That’s what Abraham Lincoln said, and he was right.

6. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco ought to be closed down. After
all, just look at all the suicides that have occurred there.

7. The average American family is said to have 2.1 children. This is absurd
— did you ever meet 2.1 children?
8. My marriage was a failure, which just proves my point: Don’t ever get
married in the fi rst place.

Explanation / Answer

4) The statement no (4) is a false statements because it not right to take violence or kill against a person without proving his fault.. He may not found guilty afterwards..

(6) The statement no (6) is false. Golden Gate Bridge is not closed due to suicide but it's due to the other reason like Marathon..

8) The statement no (8) is false. Marriage depends upon the both the person, situation, understanding, love etc which can be different for and between every two persons.. Hence we cannot judge the situation based on one conditions..

(2) According to me, the statement no (2) is false. It is because although it's a murder it is wrong but in certain and many cases when the patient is suffering from severe pain, incurable disease when he is not having any sense of him it's better to do this to relieve him from his own unbearable pain..!!
