Q1:

Statement: Should mercy death be legalized, i.e., all those who are suffering from terminal diseases be allowed to end their lives if they so desire? Arguments:
  1. No. Nobody should be allowed to end his/her life at his/her will as this goes against the basic tenets of humanity.

  3. No. Even mercy death is a sort of killing and killing can never be legalized.

A None is strong

B Only I and II are strong

C Only II and III are strong

D Only I and III are strong

E All are strong

ANS:E - All are strong

Explanation: Clearly, mercy death will serve as a liberation to those to whom living is more difficult and painful. But then, it is an inhuman act and does not appeal. So, both arguments II and III hold strong. Besides, it becomes our moral duty to encourage such people to live their lives to the fullest and support them through the crisis/and not demoralize them by allowing them to die if they wish to. Hence, argument I also holds strong.
