The issue of medical paternalism might not seem such a big issue if sometimes doctors and medical practitioners did not seem to really go off into left field on occasion. I'd like you to consider this issue as you listen to the Radio Lab documentary Help! located at:

http://www.radiolab.org/story/117165-help/ (Links to an external site.)

The specific story you need need begins at minute 41 in the broadcast and goes to minute 56.

THE QUESTION: Is it ethical for medical professionals to deceive their patients if doing so could vastly improve their health or even save their life?

Composition:

Is the writing solid with clear attention to spelling and keeping grammatical error to a minimum?

Does the author practice proper citation practices with respect to the outside argument paraphrased for this week?

Argument (reply to forum question):

Is there a conclusion and reasons given for it?

Was an outside argument brought in as evidence according to the assignment instructions?

Is the argument well-developed and does it read as one continuous whole?

Confirmatory Argument: 

Does paraphrase of argument contain at least three lines but no more than five?

Is the color of the confirmatory argument changed to green font?

Does the confirmatory argument act as part of the overall argument?

Conclusion:

Is conclusion specified in forum post by color change to blue?

Is conclusion limited to two sentences or less?

Does conclusion follow from evidence and reasons given?

NOTE this must be 100 words or less, follow the instruction clarely.
