Logical Reasoning
Journalist: To reconcile the need for profits sufficient to support new drug research with the moral imperative to provide medicine to those who must need them but cannot afford them, some pharmaceutical companies feel justified in selling a drug in rich nations at one price and in poor nations at a much lower price.’ But this practice is unjustified. A nation with a low average income may still have a substantial middle class better able to pay for new drugs than are many of the poorer citizens of an overall wealthier nation.
51. Which one of the following principles, if valid most helps to justify the journalist’s reasoning?
People who are ill deserve more consideration than do healthy people, regardless of their relative socioeconomic positions.
Wealthy institutions have an obligation to expend at least some of their resources to assist those incapable of assisting themselves
Whether one deserves special consideration depends on one’s needs rather than on characteristics of the society to which one belongs

Anyone who sometimes writes poetry that is not politically conservative never writes poetry that is politically conservative.
No one who is politically progressive is capable of performing a politically conservative act.
Unequal access to health care is more unfair than an unequal distribution of wealth.
