According to Professor Kenton Brown, "deductive logic is the truth of the premise guarantees the truth of the conclusion." What I see daily are observations, with the correlation of reasoning, justifying my perspectives on this or any other subject for that matter. There are three tools that we were taught in class in order to make a good deductive logic. These three tools were validity, finding the argument to be sound, and cogent. The first of these tools is being valid. In order to make an argument valid. Professor Brown taught our class that for any argument to be valid, "is dependent on the structure of an argument. All premises have a relationship that form one logical conclusion." An argument is valid only when the order of one premise leads to another: moreover, having an ending statement put together well. Having validity to an argument states that finding the argument to be sound is the next tool. Professor Brown said in class that sound means that an argument "has to be tested with observations." Sound means that the argument is true when considering that the evidence in an argument has the ability to back up each of the premises. Professor Brown told us the third tool for making a deductive is cogent, he said "a cogent argument is understood by the average rational mind." If these tools are used in this order, most individuals will understand without complication. If deductive logic is used correctly, a person would easily find why assisted suicide is moral with validity, sound, and a cogent mind. Through my research, I will find that although we may disagree on our view of euthanasia, but that there are many things we can agree on. I will then explain the premises, and how they support my claims. Followed by that, I will refute the opposing argument, by stating why they are wrong, rather than why I believe to be right.
