Bioethics
What each bioethics question is really asking, how to structure the answer, and where the marks are likely to sit.
A planning guide for the bioethics final project analysing the Terri Schiavo case. The rubric that specifies the questions is an attachment the brief points to rather than reproduces, so this guide covers what the analysis needs regardless of which questions it asks.
An 1,800-2,000-word ethical analysis of George's euthanasia deliberation through the Christian worldview: suffering under fallenness and resurrection hope, the value of his life with ALS, the morally justified options, and your own decision.
A planning guide for the 1,200-1,500 word analysis of the Healing and Autonomy case study. The prompt supplies its own question list, and the difficulty is that one of those questions asks you to judge a father whose reasoning the assignment also asks you to take seriously.
Six lenses is a lot for one post, so the story has to be chosen for how much each lens can say about it — and fiscal and religious are the two that most often come back empty.
An HLT 302 Topic 4 discussion asking how you would define 'natural' on first glance, and what Called to Care says the Bible tells us about natural creation. This guide explains why the pre-reading definition has to be preserved, distinguishes the four senses of 'natural', and shows why the answer matters clinically.
A three-part child protection assignment on My Sister's Keeper: define autonomy, veracity, fidelity, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice as legal and medical ethics terms, use them as six criteria to analyse the attorneys' arguments and behaviour, then discuss the complications of putting one child at risk for another.
A 750-1,000 word reflection on the Case Study: Fetal Abnormality, identifying the theory of moral status each character uses with evidence from the case, tracing each theory to a recommendation for action, and stating which you agree with. This guide sets out the taxonomy and the consistency trap in the final question.
The genre is a causal argument, not a debate about whether organ sale is right. Choosing an ethical position instead of a causal claim is the fastest way to write a good essay for the wrong assignment.
PHI-413V's 'Applying the Four Principles' assignment is a two-part instrument, not an essay: a chart that files the Healing and Autonomy case's facts under autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice, then a 500-word evaluation of how principlism reads through a Christian worldview.
You are asked to agree with a position that is already written down. That means reconstructing its argument and defending it, which is harder than saying what you think.
