Week 3 Discussion
THE ETHICS OF MILITARY DRONES
1. Discuss a core principle of deontology and use at least one quote from the required readings to explain this principle.
2. Using at least one quote from one of the videos, provide an argument to show that the use of military drones can be justified by utilitarian or deontological reasoning, and one argument to show that the use of drones cannot be justified by such reasoning.
3. Complete your post by identifying which of these arguments you think is the most compelling, and support your choice with specific reasons.
4. When responding to your fellow students, discuss the arguments they chose as well as the utilitarian or deontological reasons they provided for choosing those arguments.
