 Choose one of the contemporary ethical issues: Cloning & Reproductive Technologies, Abortion or Euthanasia, and write a position paper on a controversial topic of your own selection. It is a good idea to find relevant cases for the topic you want to write about (e.g., Terry Schiavo’s case for euthanasia). Research beforehand (about 2-3 articles) to find a narrow topic – preferably a contemporary issue (consult internet, newspapers, magazines, etc.). Identify ethical issues, discuss/evaluate ethical positions of all parties involved, then formulate/defend your own ethical position by formulating a clear thesis statement and at least three strong supporting arguments. Keep in mind, you are not reviewing/summarizing articles, but formulating your position, based on evaluating ethical issues involved. Avoid using first/second person (I/we/our/you) language and vague language (it, this). Be sure to proofread/edit carefully before submission. Include References (at least two reliable sources). Come up with a “catchy title” for your paper (e.g., “To Clone of Not to Clone”).
