OCR AS Religious Ethics

Does anyone know what came up in the Jan 2010 exam and the June 2009 exam?
If anyone has the past papers for these two, it would be great. :smile:

Hiya,
The 2009 exam paper is now on the OCR website http://www.ocr.org.uk/qualifications/type/gce/hss/rs/documents/index.html - you'll need to read the Report 2009 to find the questions.

The 2010 ones I have seen were:
1(a) Explain what is meant by moral absolutism.
1(b) ‘Moral absolutism cannot be justified’. Discuss
2(a) Explain how Utilitarians approach the issues of war
2(b) ‘Pacifism causes more harm than good’. Discuss
3(a) Explain the strengths of Natural Law theory.
3(b) To what extent could a follower of Natural Law accept embryo research?
4(a) Explain how the ethics of the religion you have studied might be applied to abortion.
4(b) ‘Religious ethics fail to consider consequences’. Discuss

Hope this helps
