In Kant’s time, peasants would sometimes sell their teeth to wealthier individuals who needed them. Kant objected to this, and h

e would presumably, for similar reasons, object to selling organs (like kidneys) in the present day. Which of following most accurately characterizes Kant’s reasons for objecting to selling parts of one’s body? a) The pain caused by having a tooth or an organ extracted is severe — severe enough to outweigh the pleasure that the recipient will enjoy. b) Extracting teeth and organs is digusting, and, therefore, morally wrong. c) Extracting teeth and organs inherently involves a certain amount of risk. Something could go wrong, and the procedure could result in infection, further illness, or death. Kant says that we are not allowed to take risks with our lives. d) By selling part of her body, a person would be treating herself as a mere means, and not as an end in herself. e) An individual’s body is owned by God, and so she is not free to do with it whatever she wishes. God has ultimate ownership over her body, and so selling a tooth or an organ would require selling something that one does not actually own.

Relación de la ecología con la política​
erica [24]

Answer:

El objetivo de la Ecología Política, como campo de estudio, es analizar los conflictos socioambientales y cómo el poder político incide en ellos. Ante un escenario en el cual el extractivismo está puesto en discusión por los daños ambientales y sociales que genera, y por la casi nula capacidad de generar un desarrollo sustentable, las acciones del ecologismo popular o ecologismo de los pobres e indígenas son más eficaces para conseguir una economía menos insostenible y más ecológica

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Act of Waste.

Explanation:

The term "Act of waste" is used in property law to specify the damage done by a tenant or anyone aside from the owner of the property. The abuse or misuse of the property of someone else resulting in damage or destruction of that property.

This term is used in the legal sense in property or real estate when someone who is not the owner of the property abuses or damages it. This allows the owner to press charges in the court or a lawsuit against that person. The lawsuit can be either between the tenant or lessee of the property and the current landlord or the owner of the property.  And <u>in the act of causing damage affecting the house's structural integrity, John commits the act of waste or waste act.</u>

Do you think capital punishment should be a viable sentencing option for heinous crimes
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Yes, I feel as thou people who are found guilty of a heinous act need to be viable to capital punishment. I say this because the long term affect a crime like that can have on someone. It can cause serious damage and resault in self harm or worse for the victim/ victims familys. There is a never ending line of heinous crimes but being viable for capital sentencing may help stop that line.
