• In this paper, students should focus on defending and supporting an ethical position in relation to one of the cases listed above. • The purpose of this paper is to deepen one's inquiry into the subject matter by arguing for a particular ethical standpoint in regard to one of the cases we have studied. • This is not a superficial opinion paper, i.e. what one liked or didn't like about a particular case, or a simple statement of how one would resolve the case. • This paper should focus first on demonstrating knowledge of ethical theories and principles learned in this course and using these to defend and support your own ethical position. • The paper should ethically evaluate the specific case the student has chosen in order to support a particular moral position. In this assignment you are being asked to judge the rightness or wrongness of various options taken by decision-makers in the case chosen. • You are not being graded on your opinion, or what you liked or didn't like about a particular case, so spending a great deal of time and space addressing these issues is not going to improve your grade. • Students should especially avoid sharing their opinions when these are inconsistent with, or contradict the conclusions that logically flow from the position you are defending in the paper. • Students should avoid attempting to address every theory and principle learned in the class to any given case. This will only result in a superficial evaluation. • This paper should reflect a serious grappling with the challenging issues raised by these ethical dilemmas.
