Question: People cannot be morally responsible for things over which they have no control. Therefore, they should not be held morally responsible for any inevitable consequences of such things, either. Determining whether adults have any control over the treatment they are receiving can be dificult. Hence in some cases it can be difficult to know whether adults bear any moral responsibility for the way they are treated. Everyone, however, sometimes acts in ways that are an inevitable consequence of treatment received as an infant, and infants clearly canot control, and so are not morally resonsible for, the treatment they receive. Answer Choices: (A) An infant should never be held morally responsible for an action that an action that infant has performed (B) there are certain comonly performed actions for which no one performing those actions should ever be held morally responsible. (C)adults who claim that they have no control over the treatment they are receiving should often be held at least partially resonsible for being so treated. (D)if a given action is within a certain person's control that person should be held morally responsible for the consequences of that action (E)no adult should be held morally responsible for every action he or she performed. Don't understand why (E) is correct. Thanks! |
