The real issue is that the use of nuclear power and nuclear weapons is forcing humankind, and indeed the whole ecosystem, to participate in a particularly cruel and totally uncontrolled experiment. given the scientific evidence that there is no safe dose of radiation, this is an experiment that has already gone awry. . the real question is whether we, as a human race, can afford in good conscience to risk annihilation with our continued reliance on nuclear technology. can we continue to despoil our environment with long-lived radioactive materials that are scattered to the wind and embedded in our precious soil, randomly exposing large populations, and foisting health impacts on unsuspecting future generations who have no choice in this matter? we may choose to do so. but if we do, i am quite sure that our children and grandchildren will roundly condemn us for our lack of foresight and our selfishness. as they struggle to deal with a poisonous environment and waste that must be safeguarded for thousands of years, they will certainly wonder what possessed us to do this. –“radiation exposure and the power of zero,” jeffrey patterson which fallacies appear in the argument? check all that apply.

"and these i address to all females that would be married, or are already so; not that i suppose their sex more faulty than the other, and most to want advice, for i assure [women], upon my honour, i believe the quite contrary; but the reason is, because i esteem them better disposed to receive and practice it, and therefore am willing to begin, where i may promise myself the best success." this statement from franklin's "rules and maxims for promoting matrimonial happiness" best demonstrates his use of criticism to argue his point his use of common sense to appeal to women his use of flattery to gain women's attention his use of facts to prove his point
