MHB Translate argument into symbolic form

[natalie206]

Hi guys,

maybe you have any idea how to translate this two statements:

If we are less than certain the human fetus is a person, then we must give it the benefit of the doubt. If we are certain the human fetus is a person, then we must accord it the right to live.

 

[Evgeny.Makarov]

Let $S$ denote "we are certain the human fetus is a person", $B$ denote "we must give it the benefit of the doubt" and $L$ denote "we must accord it the right to live". Then the first sentence says $\neg S\to B$ and the second one says $S\to L$.

Thanks! I thought it's more complicated, because of "less than certain" and "certain".

Thank you!
