Shanna: Owners of any work of art,simply by virtue of ownership,ethically have
the right to destory that artwork if they find it morally or aesthetically distateful, or if caring for it becomes incinvenient.
Jorge: Ownership of unique artworks, unlike ownership of other kinds of objects carries the moral right to possess but not to destory. A unique work of art with aesthetic or his torical value belongs to posterity and so must be preserved, whatever the personal wishes of its legal owner.
On the basis of their statements, Shanna and Jorge are commited to disagreeing about the truth of which one of the following statments?
(A) anyone who owns a portrait presenting his or her father in an unflattering light would for that reason alone be ethically justified in destroying it.
(E) it is legally permissible for a unqiue and historically valuable mural to be destroryed by its owner if he or she tires of it.
THE ANSWER IS A, BUT I CHOOSE E,WHICH ONE IS BEST ,AND WHY?
