    Reasons For

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Moral perfection entails that outcomes don't depend on morally arbitrary factors like geographic accident of birth.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
