Essay Question 3: Write an essay on how moral theory determines whether euthanasia is ethical or not, drawing upon your study this semester of life issues. Do you think a doctor could omit to give antibiotics to a disabled child and plead that s/he foresaw the death but did not intend it? Give two examples — one in which euthanasia is the motive, and one in which it is not — and use the Principle of Double Effect (“PDE”) to evaluate the morality of the doctor’s actions in each example: see the PDF #2 (on Moodle) of David Oderberg,  Applied Ethics, page 80 (note: Oderberg’s discussion of this question begins on page 74, and “PDE” is mentioned on page 76).  PDF #2 (on Moodle):
