Questions for research and discussion.
Answer the following questions thoroughly and explain why
1. Jentsch mused. “If a chimp had to suffer in miserable pain for five days, but then no one on earth would ever die of AIDS-would it be worth it? What if I could suffer for five days and then no one would die of AIDS? How would you go about thinking through these questions? Are they appropriate or relevant ways to frame the issue? How would Singer, Regan and Diamond think through them?
2. Is the imaginary family on the farm described earlier full of moral contradictions when it comes to their views about animals. Do they need to adopt a more coherent approach to nonhuman animals or is this a defensible pluralism?
3. How would you weigh the five characteristics or features identified in the Nuffield report? Should human benefit be weighted as part of the mix or are there absolute limits, for example, should any use of animals capable of suffering (or capable of higher cognitive functioning) be prohibited even despite promising medical leads?
4. In reading through Temple Grandin’s website, can you distill a core moral position when it comes to animal welfare and human responsibilities for animal welfare? Is it essentially the same as utilitarianism? How do her various practical designs for livestock operations and processing plants embody her moral position? How exactly does she think that her autism helps to “decode animal behavior”?

***Please have this paper reviewed before it is sent to me. I have had a paper previously written and the writer did not answer the questions asked. I received a C- on that paper two weeks ago. Please make sure the writer answer the questions specifically and give me three sources to reference.
I will copy and paste pages from my book tomorrow and attached the copies because I do not have a scanner here at home.
