Question

Put the case for or against your view or idea by giving evidence for your claims/reasons for or against; attempt to influence the reader to accept your view. 1. Are there other ways that the word natural is used to justify a particular way of behaving? How do these approaches compare to the theory of Aquinas? 2. Can you think of human laws that are proper extensions of the natural law? Explain how this is so. Can you think of other human laws that violate the natural law? Explain how this is so. 3. Are there other forms of harm - short of killing another person - that may be taken as a violation of the natural inclination to preserve one's being? Justify your answer. 4. Are there current scientific developments - for example, in biology - that challenge the understanding of nature presented by Aquinas? 5. Is it possible to maintain a natural law theory without believing in the divine source? Why or why not?
