Which fallacies are these?Hello All! I have 3 fallacies I am unsure of what they could be... Here they all are
1.) "This whole abortion debate about when human life begins is ridiculous. We should be thinking about the rights of the baby." 2.) "In her testimony to the grand jury, the whistleblower said that the CEO of the Goldman Sachs conspired with other senior officers of the company to defraud investors. Therefore, since this whistleblower is in a position to know and has no reason to lie, we can conclude that these officers did indeed engage in such a conspiracy." 3.) "Dean Danny has repeatedly argued that any student would benefit from an engineering degree. But what would you expect him to say? After all, he’s the dean of the College of Engineering and Science." If had a list of 50 and these are the only 3 that have stumped me very badly. If anyone knows what type of fallacy any of these could be that would be of great help! Thanks, guys! |

1.) Appeal to Ridicule and Begging the Question. Even if the debate is "ridiculous," it says nothing about the positions being offered. It begs the question that the organism in question is a "baby" and that it has rights. |
