Write an essay on the following:
In Canada, is two-tier MRI just? Was it morally permissible for Sanders’ father to purchase a private MRI for his son? In answering this second question, assume, for the sake of argument, that two-tier MRI is unjust in Canada.
In answering this question, be sure to define key terms, briefly explain the case of Sanders, and clearly give your thesis statements. In addition to giving your arguments for your views, be sure to consider a spectrum of opposing views, and explain why the arguments for those views fail. For example, if you are arguing that 2-tier is sometimes permissible, be sure also to consider arguments from the libertarian and egalitarian perspectives, and explain why they fail. Also, be sure to consider objections to your arguments, and explain why they fail.
Essays should be clearly referenced (in text, authors last name, and page number). Your paper should contain select, direct quotes from the assigned readings on Two-Tier MRI in the textbook. No works cited page is needed unless you are using sources not assigned as part of the course readings.
It may be helpful to assume that you are writing for an intelligent, open-minded audience, and you are trying to argue why your view of the matter is correct or most rationally justified.
Indeed, it might help to assume that your audience is slightly leaning to the opposing side, and so you will need to work hard to explain why the opposing arguments fail and why your side has the better reasons behind it. Remember to be self-critical; think of possible weak spots in your argument; raise challenges to your argument, and explain how your argument can be defended against those challenges.
