PHI103 Final Paper Options Here is the list of options from which to choose your paper topic. The idea is to use the

same topic for all three papers in this course, developing and improving your argument as

you go. If you want to switch topics between papers or choose a topic not on this list,

consult with your instructor first. It is also possible for your instructor to add other options

to this list, so check the instructor’s announcements for any modifications.

• Under what conditions is physician-assisted suicide morally acceptable?

• Is it ethically acceptable to raise animals for food on factory farms?
