at least two scholarly sources in your post. Respond to at least two
classmates using the required response prompt for their option (e.g., if
your initial post was Option 1, then respond to posts from Option 2
and 3 or if your initial post was Option 2, then respond to posts from
Option 1 and 3). Your initial post should be at least 250 words; your
response post should be at least 100 words.
Option 1: Patient Rights-Euthanasia For this option, you will take a
look at the ethics surrounding euthanasia (intentionally ending a life
to relieve pain or suffering) and the right to live versus right to die
arguments that were present within the Teri Schiavo and Karen Ann
Quinlan cases. To being, view the Craig Ewart at Dignitas
(Switzerland), The Terri Schiavo Story, and the Euthanasia-Whose
life is it, anyway? videos. Then, research and discuss the topic of
euthanasia. For your initial post, pick one case (either Teri Schiavo or
Karen Ann Quinlan) and one side of the argument (either right to live
or right to die) and explain how you would have handled this
particular case differently in order to protect the patient. Your initial
post must be a minimum of 250 words.
Option 1 Required Response: Regardless of your personal beliefs,
respond to your classmate’s post by considering the opposite side of
their argument. Explain what the other side’s logic was in relation to
the same case your classmate chose (e.g., if your classmate selected
right to live, give the rationale behind the right to die argument for
that case). Each response must be a minimum of 100 words.
Option 2: Patient Rights-Assisted Suicide Review the Dr. Jack
Kevorkian’s “60 Minutes” Interview video. Research and discuss
physician assisted suicide. Pick a side on this argument and explain
why you selected that particular side using scholarly research to
support your decision. Explain how this view would address the case
of Dr. Kevorkian? In your post, explain whether you believe Dr.
Kevorkian was a hero or a murderer? (Remember, there is no correct
answer to this question...but support your opinion with research and
facts). Your initial response should be at least 250 words.
Option 2 Required Response: Regardless of your personal beliefs,
respond to your classmate’s post by considering the opposite side of
their argument. Explain how this approach would affect the outcome
for Dr. Kevorkian. For example, if your classmate responded that Dr.
