Was also wondering if you are able to complete an essay based assignment 1-2 pages long by Thursday 8/11 evening? As fas the topic goes, I have strong feelings about nothing—lol. At this point I could use your writing help, I had a death in the family and will be out of town. Whatever topic you choose is fine by me. Much appreciated.

Part II: Analysis of an Ethical Issue
Apply what you know.
Our topics in this week’s readings are often viewed as controversial, emotionally rooted, and rife with ethical issues. Choose one of the following topics, one which you have strong feelings about:
- Euthanasia
- Assisted reproduction
- Stem cell research
Next, respond to the following questions:
- What is the ethical dilemma(s) inherent in the topic chosen?
- Which ethical principles and theories might apply? Be sure to identify and define each principle or theory.
- Using the ethical principles and theories you’ve identified, apply these to support an ethical decision in two ways. First, select a decision which you would not personally agree with. Next, select a decision which is consistent with your personal beliefs.
- How would you assist the patient with decision-making on your chosen topic? Be sure to describe the ethical decision-making process.
- How might personal values influence the behavior of the healthcare professional? How would you guard against having your personal values influence your behavior?
