Ethicist: A person who treats others well is more worthy of praise if this treatment is at least partially motivated by feelings of compassion than if it is entirely motivated by cold and dispassionate concern for moral obligation. This is so despite the fact that a person can choose to do what is morally right but cannot choose to have feelings. If the ethicist's statements are true, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT:
A: If someone wants to have compassion toward others but does not, that person is worthy of praise.
B: Someone who acts without feelings of compassion toward those affected by the actions is worthy of praise if those actions enhance the welfare of the people affected.
C: Only what is subject to a person's choice should be used in measuring the praiseworthiness of that person.
D: If a person feels compassion toward the people affected by that person's actions, yet these actions diminish the welfare of those people, that person does not deserve praise.
Choose A, B, C or D as your solution.
