For the following, try to come up with an additional premise that will turn the passage into a deductively valid or an inductively strong argument. Usually this requires adding a general moral principle and, sometimes, an extra nonmoral claim as well. The idea is to guarantee that the "ought" claim follows from the "is" claim.Scotty's mother not only is getting too old to take care of herself but also is unable to pay for proper care in a nursing home. It seems to me that Scotty should either take her in or otherwise make sure she is taken care of properly.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

One should take care of one's parents when they cannot take care of themselves or afford to pay for someone else to do so.
