The possibility of a freely made decision is necessary to the concept of autonomy.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Which of the following is a Kantian argument against discrimination?

A. Since the least advantaged in a society would be better off in a nondiscriminatory society than in one that discriminates, the rational person would see that nondiscrimination is morally preferable.
B. People are treated as members of class with a certain characteristic, not as persons. They are not ends in themselves, but because of that characteristic, they are denied equal treatment and respect.
C. The dominant class has a desire to maintain its superiority and its class prerogatives.
D. Systematic discrimination produces a class of people who are arguably treated unjustly. Other groups in the society will also have cause to worry about whether they will be the next group to be discriminated against. On the whole, more harm than good is done.
