Recognizing Fallacies of Moral Reasoning

Fallacies of moral reasoning are committed in each of the following arguments. Determine which fallacy is committed in each case [the naturalistic fallacy, tu quoque, moral conventionalism, moral legalism, moral prudentialism, slippery slope, argument to the people (ad populum), red herring (non sequitur)]. Note that one argument can commit more than one fallacy, so some of these arguments may at once commit two or more fallacies.  Click here for an answer sheet.
 
 
1. I understand you support the peace movement. You know, human beings are aggressive creatures as a result of human evolution. Our distant ancesters were aggressive in defending themselves and their offspring from predators, and survived as a result. Human genetics preserves the result of this struggle for survival.
2. It is central to the great tradition of our party to preserve the fundamental American values of honesty, decency, and a concern for the family. It is these values that our opponents have forgotten--the values that we hold dear. The choice in this election is clear: either vote for the American way, or against it.
3. We should never allow any restrictions on the purchase of handguns by individuals. Once we do this, there will be no end to the restrictions until fit is illegal to own a squirt gun.

8. As an academic, Professor Benedict J. Kerkvliet has given himself away as biased and unscientific. . . . It is pathetic to see Professor Kerkvliet, a non- Filipino, deploring political and social conditions in a foreign country like the Philippines when his own country calls for social and moral regeneration.

9. Jack Kevorkian's mercy killings are clearly immoral since the practice is not only against the law and not officially accepted by the American Medical Association, but it is completely unprecedented in medical practice.
