Question- Pt 33, S1, Q 13 (Neccessary Assumption)
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2014 4:33 am
It really came down to option A or option B for me on this one. I clearly understand the argument core, what the premise and the conclusion is.
Option A made a lot of sense for me because if u negate it, it says the a patient's psychological consideration is important, does'nt that kill the ethicist's argument?, as the ethcist is saying in the premise that when the doctor is giving patient satisfaction by administering placebo, it is wrong. so the premise is that it is wrong and why is patient satisfaction important. So, when the negation of option A tells that patient satisfaction is a consideration, doesn't that make it the wright answer?
I would really apreciate any input you guys have on this, specifically why A is wrong, and if possible why B is right. I spent an obscene amount of time on this q, also read manhattan forum's on this q, did not really get it. Also, does any lsat tutor know if this is a difficult q? if it;s an easy one, I feel really bad and stupid, as i spent a lot of time on it
