Philosophy Paper Assignment - Biomedical Ethics
Topic - Choose one topic from the term and develop an argument paper defending a position. The paper must reference the relevant readings from the course, usually (at least) the other readings from the relevant week. Outside research is not required.
Your topic can focus on a philosophical issue or a case study. Sample questions:
What role should the values of autonomy and paternalism play in physician-patient relationships?
Is access to healthcare a human right?
In the "Please Don't Tell" case, should Consuela be informed of Carlos's condition?
In the Chabot case (Mrs. Boomsma), should physician-assisted suicide be permissible?
But this list is non-exhaustive. Consider the questions from the forums as further starting points to choose a topic.
Format - 4-5 pages (plus bibliography), double-spaced, 12 point font, Times New Roman (or similar), 1" margins. Any citation style is fine - just keep it consistent.
