Question: What claim can be made from the following pieces of evidence?
1. Pope Benedict XVI argues AIDS is `` a tragedy that can not be overcome by money alone , that can not be overcome through the distribution of condoms , which even aggravates the problems '' .
2. If people followed the Church 's teachings on casual sex as well as their teachings on barrier contraception , the AIDS epidemic would be dramatically decreased .
3. The Catholic Church does not only forbid the use of barrier contraception but also of casual sex .
4. The issue is not that the Church is being irresponsible by banning the use of barrier contraception but that people are choosing to follow some of the Church 's teachings but not others .
5. Given , therefore , that it also forbids any sex outside of marriage , the Catholic Church is totally justified in forbidding barrier methods of contraception .

Claim: In context of other teachings, does not promote the spread of AIDS/HIV.


Question: What claim can be made from the following pieces of evidence?
1. See , for example , Sweden , which has the lowest Gini Coefficient -LRB- indicating low levels of inequality -RRB- in the world , and also some of the highest levels of GDP per capita , life expectancy and literacy rates , and low levels of crime and obesity .
2. Furthermore , a Forbes report suggests Sweden is one of the happiest countries in the world -LRB- along with Denmark , Finland and Norway , 3 other countries with a low Gini Coefficient -RRB- .
3. Firstly , it limits social tension that may arise due to public dissatisfaction with high wages ; see the attacks on the famous banker Sir Fred Goodwin in the UK .
4. Secondly , people may feel that society recognizes them as being more equal , increasing the perceived self-worth of many , avoiding feelings of inferiority and worry about their social worth , and making them feel closer to other people .

Claim: Equality is in and of itself a good thing


Question: What claim can be made from the following pieces of evidence?
1. Providing state funding would make the state the purchaser of IVF services -LRB- or even the direct provider of them -RRB- , removing either the ability to over treat or the incentive to do so -LRB- depending on whether the state is the buyer or the provider -RRB- .
2. This drives up prices , as doctors have incentives to over treat patients , and not to treat patients in the most cost-effective manner .
3. Most significantly , an asymmetry of information exists between doctor and patient -LRB- as it does with all medical treatment -RRB- patients are not aware of what services they need , and are unable to weigh up the various options available to them , because doing so requires medical training .
4. A higher rate of treatment within the population would increase safety and improve outcomes -LRB- thus reducing costs -RRB- , as medical departments become more experienced .
5. Costs would be brought down as economies of scale are exploited , and state health services have better bargaining power when it comes to purchasing large orders of drugs and equipment .
6. If the state funded IVF treatment , it would overcome some of the inefficiencies involved in expensive medical treatment .

Claim:
State IVF treatments will become more cost effective.
