Answer:

No

Explanation:

Hedonistic Utilitarianism or hedonic act-utilitarianism may be defined as a theory which states that a right action is the one which produces or tends to give the greatest net happiness to anybody.

It is the ethics which claims that the act of a person is morally correct if it gives or tends to give pleasure or happiness. In other words, if people are given choice they tend to choose happiness and pleasure and avoid pain. It is  therefore the pleasure one gets minus the pain that the person will suffer of the alternative.

Thus in the contest, It is not morally wrong to cheat in the exam tomorrow because according to the hedonic act utilitarianism theory this act would tend to produce happiness and will avoid my pain and fear if I fail the exam tomorrow.

Alina [70]

Answer: D. No, because the state owns and operates the metal plant.

Explanation:

The State owns and operates the plants and so is allowed to discriminate against non residents.

This principle was established by the United States Supreme Court in Reeves, Inc. v. Stake, 447 U.S. 429 (1980).

In the judgement, the Court held that South Dakota had a right to give it's residents preferential treatment in buying cement from a state owned plant.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The most likely cause of this disease is that siblings have a variable expression of this disease.

Explanation:

Neurofibromatosis 1 is an autosomal dominant disorder, even though it is a very rare disease to occur. This dominant nature causes this disease to be expressed even in people who have heterozygous alleles for it, which makes it easier for siblings to have this disorder, since only those who are hom0zygous recessive would not present it. However, the expressiveness of the disease may vary between siblings, as is the case shown above, where although the two siblings have the same disease, they present it in different ways.
