Response to: ‘Questioning the significance of the non-identity problem in applied ethics’ by Lawlor

The implication of Lawlor's argument, if I have understood it, is that in such a book-one intended for a multidisciplinary audience or a lay audience-it is the (?moral) duty of the writer to provide, for any issue discussed, a balanced overview of all the areas of controversy among experts in the field. [...]Lawlor says of the non-identity effect that almost no one challenges this claim and that it is essentially an empirical claim about human biology.
