Today we'll talk about Benatar's argument some more.  What are the best objections we can think of? We'll also discuss the objection in the short Christine Overall reading.

Homework comments

• Make sure you proof and edit and put word count at the end. Make sure you provide page reference for quotes.  Nobody lost points for these things time.  In the future, you can lose up to 10 points.
• Read carefully!  Answers to question #4 were puzzling.  The question was about Smilansky's end of humanity argument.  The relevant passage is on pg. 48.
• Make sure you answer all parts of all questions.
