Discussion
Statement: Should there be compulsory medical examination of both the man and the woman before they marry each other?
Arguments:
1. No. This is an intrusion to the privacy of an individual and hence cannot be tolerated.
2. Yes. This will substantially reduce the risk of giving birth to children with serious ailments
Answer: B
Correct answer: Only argument II is strong
Argument 2 names a real benefit: knowing of a hereditary or communicable condition beforehand can prevent much suffering. Argument 1 invokes privacy in the abstract, whereas the examination would be known only to the two people concerned. Only II is strong.
