Question 18

Multiple Choice

Which is the best standard-form representation of the following Argument from Analogy?
People should be allowed to do stupid and dangerous things like skydive if that's what they want to do. It's their right to take whatever risks they want. Similarly with people who refuse to vaccinate themselves or their children. Jumping out of a plane and refusing vaccines--I personally think they are both pointless risks. But just as you should be allowed to skydive, you should be allowed to refuse vaccines for yourself or your kids.


A) 1) People should be allowed to make stupid and dangerous choices.
2) Refusing vaccines is stupid and dangerous choice. So, people should be allowed to refuse vaccines.
B) 1) People should be allowed to skydive.
2) Refusing vaccines is relevantly similar to skydiving. So, people should be allowed to refuse vaccines.
C) 1) People should be allowed to refuse vaccines.
2) Refusing vaccines is relevantly similar to skydiving. So, people should be allowed to skydive.
D) 1) Skydiving doesn't hurt anyone else.
2) Refusing vaccines is relevantly similar to not hurting anyone else. So, people should be allowed to refuse vaccines.
