Question

Consider the argument "If a fetus is a person, then it is wrong to kill a fetus. But it is wrong to kill a fetus. Therefore, a fetus is a person." How do we apply the counterexample method to test the validity of this argument?

Answer 1

Answer:

provide a twin argument with the same form that is obviously invalid

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the best way to test the validity of this method would be to provide a twin argument with the same form that is obviously invalid. This would allow you to test the method itself and see if every example returns the same true results, but if you are able to create one that is obviously invalid then the method itself is invalid.
