Write a 5 page paper analyzing a bioethics case from the recent news (published in the past 12 months). Could be about Assisted reproductive technology, abortion, commodification of the body, genetics( e.g., issue of parents being allowed to select for any genetic traits in their embryos), Assisted dying, health justice (eg., inequality for health insurance, should Medicaid cover fertility treatments like IVF). Pick one.
General format of paper:
4-5 pages double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, APA citation style. Must include reference for newspaper article or film/show, and must cite 3+ other sources throughout to support claims.
Page 1- Give a summary of case from newspaper article or movie/show; presentation of central ethical issue; any important context (historical, political, legal, etc.)
Page 2- Present an argument about one perspective on what is morally right in this case using specific moral principles and/or moral theories
Page 3- Present a different, opposing position using specific moral principles and/or moral theories (note: include a clear transition like, “On the other hand,” or “Other people may argue that…”)
Page 4- Reflect on your own position: what do you think is morally right, why do you think that way, what about your own identity or life experiences may have shaped your opinion, has your thinking changed, are there circumstances in which you might change your mind in the future, etc. (you do not need to answer all of those questions, but use them to form a clear analysis of your own position).
Page 5 – Cite your references in APA style. Note, I do not expect the rest of the paper to be in APA, just in text citations and the reference list. You can use 1st person voice when giving your opinion as that is required for this paper.
The goal of this paper is to explore a complex health issue from a bioethics lens, and apply any of the bioethics moral principles and ethical theories (e.g., autonomy, utilitarianism, Kantian ethics, Contractarianism, informed consent, beneficence, non-maleficence) to view this issue from opposing perspectives.
