Give an explication of Singer's moral claim concerning animal research.

You should:

• List each premise in a logical order


• Number each premise


• Cite page numbers, when appropriate


• Supply and label missing premises


• If a proposition follows from earlier propositions in the explication, cite the earlier propositions by number


• Give all and only the propositions necessary for the conclusion (i.e., to make it deductively valid)


• Supply an short, indented explication for the inductive (empirical) claim that animal research causes animals to suffer.
• See friday's lecture notes for examples on how to create indented explications.
• Dont' go overboard with the indented explication of the empircal claim: a few lines of support will suffice. It should be just enough to be fair to Singer's argument without listing each and every example.

Extra credit:

• Do you think the inductive claim is strong? Why or why not? (1-2 sentences)

As always, please email me with any questions.
