Slippery slope?

You woke up in the morning at 7:00 see you have 40 more mins after you woke up for office you see you have ten mins and you walk fast.

Because you slept 20 more mins you ran to office because you are late and because you are late you ran fast and if you ran fast then you are more careless and because you are more careless you have more chances of accident

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

This is stated as a past event—it already happened (not might happen). So no fallacy, just a course of events.

No fallacies, and it's not even necessarily unsound - you're in less control of your body running than walking (though I wouldn't say significantly so; it's just a bit harder to stop).

It's only problematic if we act as in an accident is likely or bound to happen (rather than just being more likely); that would be a non sequitur.
