Physician Assisted- Suicide

Introduction:  First paragraph should begin with the topic question, suitably revised.  It should be focused, concrete, and on a relevant moral problem.  You should then introduce the topic in the way described by the Week One instructions, but reflecting the developed understanding and information you have gained about the topic and any necessary refinement of the scope.  Follow this with a thesis statement that states your position, and a brief description of the primary reason(s) supporting your positions.  Finally, provide a brief preview of the overall aim and procedure of you paper.

Explanation and Demonstration of Moral Reasoning-This section of the Final paper will explain and demonstrate what you believe to be the best way of reasoning about the question.  You might explain the principles, rules, values, virtues, conceptions of purposes and ends, and other general ideas that you find persuasive, and show they support concrete judgments.    In the course of doing so, you must make reference to at least two of the approaches that we have examined in the course (such as deontological, utilitarian, or virtue-based), and utilize at least one resource off the provided list for each of the two approaches.   For example, you might find the reasoning associated with Aristotelian virtue ethics to be the most compelling, and reference Aristotle in the process of showing how that reasoning supports a certain conclusion.  In the course of this, you could contrast that with a utilitarian approach, referencing Mill for instance.

Objection and Response- After explaining the ethical reasoning that supports your position, your should raise an objection and respond to it.  An objection articulates a plausible reason why someone might find the argument weak or problematic.  You should explain how it brings out this weakness, and do so in a way that would be acceptable to someone who disagrees with your own argument.  Then provide the best response you can to the objection, showing how it does not undermine your position.  Your response should not simply restate your original position or argument, but should say something new in support of it.

Conclusion- Provide a conclusion that sums up what  you presented in the paper and offers  some final reflections
