1. Explain the distinction between passive and active euthanasia, and then explain why James Rachels finds this distinction problematic.

2. As Fieser mentions in your module reading, "Philosophers of the past often analyzed end-of-life situations by considering whether suicide or euthanasia would violate one of the three fundamental moral obligations: those to God, those to oneself, or those to other people" (pg. 5).

Choose one of these moral obligations and explain (a) what the moral obligation states, generally, and then (b) what the moral obligation implies in relation to the question of euthanasia, specifically. In other words:

a. Select a moral obligation

b. Explain the moral obligation, as its been defended by past thinkers

c. Apply the moral obligation to end-of-life situations 

3. In 2-3 sentences, briefly describe the position of both the conservative stance and the liberal stance in end-of-life situations. (Simply state the position)

After doing this, list the four main reasons/principles given to support their respective positions.

For example: "In response to the question of end-of-life situations, the conservative position states XXXX, while they liberal position states, YYYYYY. The main reasons given in defense of conservative position are:

1. A

2. B

3. C

4. D

(Then do the same for the liberal position)
