Document Summary
The badness of death: recent work of death is not concerned with the relationship between the life of the mind and the kind of event the death is. Is death bad for the person that bides: concerned the afterlife, death is the person whose death is. In death, one can feel neither happy nor sad, and so in terms of the quality of their experiences, death can be nothing to them. Feminist interventions in debates: death is bad when it deprives us of the goods that life has to offer. Abortion kills the innocent child and the mother will be allowed to die. What a 3rd party physician may do. Do not want to kill a growing child trapped inside a tiny house in another of her thought experiments. The anti-abortionist could change their argument and say that abortion is okay in self-defense but it should not be 3rd parties performing them, only these women.
