Description
You are to submit 4-5 typed pages, double-spaced on one of the following ethical issues:
Pro-Birth, Pro-Choice (Abortion issue)
Euthanasia
Capital Punishment
Here’s the kicker, you are to take the opposite point of view which you presently hold on one of these issues. For instance, if you are pro-life, you are to take the pro-choice issue.
Your paper should contain solid and logical reasoning, (remember to avoid using fallacious reasoning), rational opinions based on factual evidence, as well as necessary citations (quotes, statistics, etc.) from reliable sources. The sources should be mentioned in the paper, no bibliography or other citations are necessary.
You should be more than aware by now regarding fallacious reasoning or fallacious sources regarding your topic. As I said above, be certain to avoid fallacious reasoning to support your view and avoid sources which may be overly biased or contain fallacious reasoning or fallacious statements. You are also to avoid personal opinions or opinions based upon religious sources, which carry no validity in modern day ethical arguments. So, you will need to research your topic well.
The point of this paper is for you to deliberately look at the “other” side of one of these key ethical issues. So often, people are totally unaware of how the “other side” thinks or totaling unwilling to look at the other side of an issue.
If you send the paper to me, as before, send the paper on the Canvas site, as an email.

for a long time been perceived as imposing more suffering on the patient. This is speeding up the
death of someone who is perceived to be doomed to die sooner but the patient is suffering too
much. The patients often suffer from terminal diseases like tumor, heart conditions and paralysis.
Medical care givers have been faced with ethical issues when they meet with patients
who wish to be helped by ending their lives and the care givers have to make decisions that are
not acceptable and are often forced to use their own moral judgments regarding the condition.
Despite the development in science and technology regarding human life, there still are
controversies regarding human life and how doctors can administer a peaceful death to their
patients. There are several opinions on human morality, principles and religious believes but
those imposing the principle do not understand what the patients are going through.
Passive euthanasia is done by withholding treatment from a patient and then they will die
eventually. Research shows that this type of euthanasia is still as painful because the pati...
