Write a research paper explaining the distinction between assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Write a research paper explaining the distinction between assisted suicide and euthanasia.
To effectively address an ethical problem, we have to fully understand it. After all, we don’t have much chance of making good choices if we don’t understand the issue. Did you know defining an issue means describing both sides before sharing your point of view about either side? Defining both sides can be tricky because it requires being objective even when you do not agree. Can you do it? Can you define both sides without sharing how you feel about physician assisted suicide and euthanasia? Physician assisted suicide and euthanasia are two highly emotionally charged subjects, which makes this exercise all the more difficult.

Demonstrate your mastery of defining the issue by completing the Unit III Analysis of Unit Resources template.

Use the template to complete the assignment. Follow the directions in the template to complete the assignment. Be sure to dedicate some detail to comparing and contrasting both articles. Take some time to reflect on the importance of doing so, as well.

The completed assignment should be three pages in length. No sources will be required for this assignment.

Unit III: Analysis of Unit Resources Template

Use the template to complete this assignment. Complete the template
by answering each section or question. For
questions 1-3 specifically, demonstrate your ability to define the authors’
arguments versus sharing how you feel about physician assisted suicide or
euthanasia.

1. Review the article, “A Case Against Euthanasia” by Daniel Callahan, in your textbook
on pp. 378–385, and define his position. In doing so, be sure to address the
following questions:

a.
Is Callahan for or against euthanasia or
physician-assisted suicide? The answer to this question is Callahan’s
conclusion or decision about euthanasia. Explain your answer.

b.
Does Callahan use or address any moral theories
in his article from units I and II? Identify at least two moral theories. Define
the moral theories identified and explain your answer.

2. Review the article, “A Moral Defense of Oregon’s Physician-Assisted Suicide Law” by
Michael B. Gill, in your textbook on pp. 387–399, and define his position. In
doing so, be sure to address the following questions:

a.
Is Gill for or against euthanasia or physician
assisted suicide? The answer to this question is Gill’s conclusion or decision
about physician-assisted suicide. Explain your answer.

b.
Does Gill use or address any moral theories in
his article from units I and II? Identify at least two moral theories. Define
the moral theories identified and explain your answer.

3. Provide a written response comparing and contrasting
Gill’s and Callahan’s articles. In doing so, be sure to address the following
question:

a.
Do the authors agree on any one point about
physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia?

4. By examining opposing articles on physician-assisted
suicide, have you learned anything new that might help you better understand
different contemporary issues moving forward? If so, explain. If not, explain
why it is important to dedicate some time to defining both sides of a
contemporary issue fully.
