It has been argued, for example, that investing in reducing child mortality will result in substantial reductions in fertility.
It has been argued, for example, that research on the possible genetic basis of homosexuality is immoral, because even the assumption that such a basis exists implicitly characterizes homosexuality as a kind of genetic abnormality.
It has been argued, for example, that Sargent's notorious Madame X (Mme Pierre Gautreau), now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, which caused a scandal with its outrageous sexuality when exhibited in Paris in 1884, is a disguised portrait of a young man.
It has been argued, for example, that if the expected result of the obligations' implementation is of paramount importance, it may negate the necessity of the norms being adopted with the consent of affected parties (Ryngaert 2010, 71 73).
It has been argued, for example, that the greater diversity in mitochondrial DNA in African populations, in comparison to other human populations, is an indicator of a comparatively recent human dispersal from an African origin.
Indeed, classical liberals and libertarians have often asserted that in some way liberty and property are really the same thing; it has been argued, for example, that all rights, including liberty rights, are forms of property; others have maintained that property is itself a form of freedom (Gaus, 1994; Steiner, 1994).
It is argued, for example, that the Fed's superlow interest rates after the stock market bubble burst led us directly to the housing bubble.
It might be argued, for example, that the revolutionary social science of Machiavelli and Juan Luis Vives (1492 1540) was due in large measure to their application of humanistic techniques to fields that lay outside the normal purview of humanism.
Regarding its lists of rules on the keeping of promises, the return of loaned goods, etc.—it was argued, for example, that if they were specific enough to be useful (as in the rule against lying or stealing), they would tend to have exceptions which no rule laid down by reason ought to have.
It can be argued, for example, that, whereas the past tense form in English (in simple sentences or the main clause of complex sentences) definitely refers to the past, the so-called present tense form is more neutral with respect to temporal reference: it is nonpast in the sense that it fails to mark the time as past, but it does not mark it as present.
It may be argued, for example, that on Hume's system there is an intimate and important relationship between moral sense and virtue.
