To complete each scenario assignment: this will be due same day as class meets
1. Complete the entire scenario. Discuss both animal and human research, not just animal.
2. Fill out the template attached below, only those students who do not present will submit the template.
3. Compose the last question on the template reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
- In this reflection you must first define the key terms of the debate (for example, define what Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide means and what are the different types depending on which topic you are discussing)
- Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know exactly what the theory is and does – in your own words)
- Present the evidence both pro and con and follow up how using your ethical theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is really ethical
- Conclusion – any final thoughts and opinions would go here
- 2 to 3 resources as support for your evidence (text book counts as 1)
4. Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum of one theory of ethics to defend your stance.
