21.Examples of things that are morally wrong, but not illegal- Hitting children, whether or not it's called by euphemisms like "spanking". It's illegal now in some countries, but most still allow it. Finding loopholes in the tax laws to avoid paying your share of the maintenance of the society that you live in. Trying to convert someone from one religion (or none) to another. This is illegal in Israel, but the law doesn't cover it in most countries. Pretending you didn't see a beggar in the street. Not sending at least a token amount regularly to one or more charities that feed and shelter people or provide medical care to people in places where there isn't any. 28.One of the most influential articles on abortion is Judith Jarvis Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion," written in 1971. Thomson asks the reader "to imagine" that you "wake up in the morning and find yourself back to back in bed with an unconscious violinist" who has a fatal kidney ailment. You find "the violinist's circulatory system was plugged into yours," making you like a kidney dialysis machine. You were kidnapped, because "you alone have the right blood type to help." To Thomson, unwanted pregnancy and the unconscious violinist are morally equivalent cases. She argues that neither the stranger nor the mother owes the needed life support; the stranger may unplug himself from the violinist, and the mother may unplug herself from her child. As Thomson recognizes, personhood is the pivotal issue in the abortion debate. If personhood begins before birth, then whenever it begins, we must respect the rights of both mother and child. If human beings are not persons before birth, then abortion is not homicide (the killing of one person by another), and from the perspective of rights, there is nothing further to discuss. In her article, Thomson grants, for argument's sake only, that human fetuses are persons. Even so, she concludes, abortion is not necessarily unjust homicide.Thomson's defense is a classic example of blame the victim. Thomson thinks that most people would think you would be within your rights disconnect yourself from the violinist, and that you would not be violating his right to life by refusing to provide him life support. This thought experiment justifies Thomson's claim that the right to life by itself does not entail the right to be kept alive by another person. This is because if the right to life by itself did entail the right to be kept alive by making use of another's body, then the violinist would be entitled to use your body even if you didn't want him to. However, given the strong intuition that this analogy produces, that seems like a difficult claim to defend.
