Essay #3
For this essay, you will focus on one of the following articles: “Complexities of Choosing an End Game for Dementia” OR “How to Make America’s Robots Great Again.”
You will then create your own specific thesis about industrial robots or euthanasia for dementia patients. If you are stuck, think about the following questions: should patients with dementia be allowed to kill themselves? Why or why not? Or, if you chose the other article….
