Notes from professor,
Following our work on the three red market readings, we’ll be doing some formal written follow-up to give you some more low-stakes practice in A2-style lens reading. As such, be sure to watch the Satel/NKF/Carney video before you take this on or it won’t make much sense. The third Response prompt is as follows….
Begin by reading the following Guardian article, by Samuel Kerstein, at this website. If you prefer or are unable to work with a website, a downloadable .docx version, with comments included, is instead available at this link:
Kerstein – Is It Ethical to Purchase Human Organs
Kerstein – Is It Ethical to Purchase Human Organs – Alternative Formats

The link includes a comment section at the bottom (and you can see more comments by clicking the 1/2/3 at the very bottom) and an article up at the top. Begin by scrolling to the top and reading all of Kerstein’s article.
From there, you’ll be doing some lens work, using Kerstein. Specifically, choose two commenters to be the recipients of your Kerstein lens. Then, using one commenter’s position per page, assess what that Kerstein would say in response to that specific commenter.
Each page should therefore focus exclusively on how Kerstein would read an idea or two from that page’s commenter, not the other way around, allowing you to get two bouts of practice with lens application. (Feel free to include a small quote or two from your commenter – that’s your Evidence – to anchor your discussion and best emulate the A2 experience, but keep those quotes controlled; we’re looking for analysis practice, rather than a pile of quotes dominating the discussion.)

Follow the usual assignment instructions to submit your R2:
1.) Compose your work in your normal word processing program and save the file as a Word .doc or .docx document. Consider saving it somewhere (flash drive, cloud account, hard drive) where you can access it later if necessary. Do not compose your assignment in the Blackboard text editor or as a Comment.
2.) When the assignment is ready to turn in, return here and click the Submit R3 Here link directly above this text box.
3.) On the new page, scroll down to the Assignment Submission area. To the right of the Attach File option, click the Browse My Computer button to search your computer for your file.
4.) When you’ve located the file on your computer, click Open. The small browsing window will disappear and you should see your file in Blackboard now as an Attached File.
5.) Scroll down and click the Submit button on the bottom right corner of the page. The attachment process is completed.
6.) You will be brought to a preview screen that will show your file submission. If you’re happy with your submission, click the little OK button on the right. If there was a problem and you need to resubmit the file, click the Start New button instead to repeat the process.
