When‚ if ever‚ is it morally permissible to kill somebody in self defence? Abstract This paper will discuss if‚ and when‚ it is morally permissible to kill in self defence‚ and‚ in order to support my views‚ I will use ‘thought experiments’ from other philosophers such as Thomson‚ who puts across scenarios where there is an aggressor or a threat against your life (these titles will be clarified later).

Scuba Duba Monologue Bruce Jay Freeman Now that’s the kind of talk I like. It’s late and you just came right out and said it was late. It’s not that late actually‚ but that’s not what I’m getting at.

Oh‚ he’s got a little swirl of a thing sitting back there on his head and he kind of brings it forward but for Christ’s sake‚ the man is a skinhead‚ no two ways about it. Well‚ I could putter around

Humans can be easily tricked into recognizing something differently from what it actually is‚ particularly if it is portrayed to them in a false manner. Ultimately‚ we accept the knowledge we want to have but
