A useful technique in philosophical discussions is to posit a theoretical liminal situation.  This has the effect of reducing a complex situation to a few salient considerations which can better strike at the heart of the matter.  (Eg. Consider an android indistinguishable from a human, a friendly chimpanzee, and a fully-functioning disembodied human brain which cannot communicate.  Which is most "human?" Which is most intelligent?  Is any more or less valuable than any other?)

Because of this technique of reductionism, philosophical stances lend themselves surprisingly well to the new-ish genre of online quizzes.  What is your basic moral stance?  Are your views on God internally consistent?  Only an online quiz can tell you for sure.
