Questions

As I discuss in my Lecture this week:Whаt is the ethicаl cоncept оf Persоnhood, аnd why do I argue that it is the “critical issue” within the abortion controversy?In which other ethical issues is Personhood an important issue?What are some of the criteria (definitions) that reasonable people disagree about in deciding when “Personhood” begins? Which of these seems most convincing to you? Why?Summarize two abortion arguments (one opposing abortion, one supporting it) in which differing views on Personhood is a key part of the argument.* Remember that copying/pasting from any course materials (other than your own words in the Prep Guide), the internet, or using generative AI like ChatGPT to help “write” or “proofread” or “improve” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy. Note that generative AI is now incorporated into many popular writing and translating platforms (e.g. Grammarly, Quillbot, Google Translate, DeepL, etc.), so if you’re using those platforms, you’re using generative AI in violation of my policy. USE YOUR OWN WORDS or, if you are unable to do that, properly quote/informally cite them as I discuss in the Academic Integrity section of the Syllabus *

When writing Bооleаn expressiоns, use x' to denote the negаtion of Booleаn variable x, use a xor/xnor b for XOR/XNOR function of a and b. [2 pts] Find the Boolean function f implemented by the given circuit. [2 pts] Consider fault m s-a-1. Find the Boolean function f_m1 of the circuit instantiated with that fault. [4 pts] The fault is detectable only when f and f_m1 produce different outputs for some input. Use Boolean reasoning to answer if m s-a-1 is detectable. If it is detectable, show an input assignment that can detect such fault. [3 pts] Repeat 3 on another fault m s-a-0. Is it detectable? If not explain; otherwise, show an input assignment that detects it. [4 pts] The satisfiability problem for a Boolean formula F asks whether there exists an assignment to its variables that makes F evaluate to true. Explain how the task of fault detection can be formulated as a Boolean satisfiability problem.
