the policy of the french in regards this sick baby issue is a reason NOT to have your child born in France, not the other way around. There are no proposals given to solve this problem by the authors here, but I don't know what else you can be lead to. I don't think it's a biased study at all. I don't think there's a philosophical training problem amongst the population. How will philosophical training help you get over having to kill your baby?

@CNTloyalist To be honest, i don't think that's what she's saying. The study seems fairly unbiased to me. In my oppinion, this choice problem stems from a lack of philosophical education.

wow, a philosophy based on the idea that people should be kept our of the loop, and given no information. basically lied to. what did the ethicist say about that?
