Medical Aid in Dying

Medical Aid in Dying Essay(75 pts):Through this assignment you will explore the advantages and disadvantages of medical aid in dying, or what has been called physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Your grade for this assignment will be based on a short essay on medical aid in dying.
First, read the assigned readings on anthropological approaches to death and medical aid in dying (sometimes called euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide) in Module 3 as described in the syllabus. Focus particularly on the reading and video listed below
Emanuel, E.J. 1999. What Is the Great Benefit of Legalizing Euthanasia or Physician-Assisted Suicide? Ethics109(3): 629-642.
VIDEO: Alternate Endings: Six New Ways to Die in America: Segment 6 (Medical Aid in Dying) (21 minutes, Films on Demand)
Now, for 75 points, you will write a 1-2 page essay (12-point font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins) on the various approaches and beliefs about medical aid in dying. Your essay should address the following questions:
First, describe the advantages of medical aid in dying, particularly according to Emanuel. What, then, are the disadvantages of medical aid in dying?
If a loved one asked you to, would you help them with a medically assisted death? Why or why not?
Would you consider medical aid in dying for yourself? Why or why not? If so, under what conditions would this be an acceptable choice for you?
Finally, is medical aid in dying legal where you live? Laws in the United States and in other countries are changing rapidly; one source for the current US laws is https://www.deathwithdignity.org/learn/death-with-dignity-acts/. Given the laws where you live, discuss whether or not the laws match your own personal beliefs.
Please cite any information from course readings, videos or lectures using both in-text citations and a References Cited section after your essay (note that the References Cited section does not count towards your page count). A good general rule is to cite anything that isyoure your own opinion. Using the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) citation style is preferred, and can be found at https://documents.saa.org/container/docs/default-source/doc-publications/style-guide/saa-style-guide_updated-july-2018c5062f7e55154959ab57564384bda7de.pdf?sfvrsn=8247640e_6. However, you are welcome to use different citation style if you prefer, as long as it is used consistently and correctly.

Book/Artist Review: Coltrane: The Story of a Sound by Ben Ratliff

Assignment Prompt: Craft a 4 page paper that discusses John Coltrane’s output, life, and influence on jazz specifically and music in general, as well as discussing the musical and historical contexts of that musician. Use this as an opportunity to use (and demonstrate) what you have learned in this class, through general course readings, lectures, and discussions, as well as from your concert review experiences and other assignments. Use citations to back up your thoughts, and make sure to organize the paper thoughtfully and logically.

My instruction: This isn’t just a summary of his life; it’s supposed to be reflective of this one book. I haven’t read Coltrane: The Story of a Sound either, but https://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/books/review/Mishra-t.html discusses it in a good amount of detail so reading the book isn’t necessary. MLA format (12 point font, Times New Roman, double spaced) Please include quotes from Coltrane: The Story of a Sound by Ben Ratliff if you can find any.

How would you address Alberts beliefs?

CASE STUDY: Albert
Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant, this is his first trip to the Middle East.
He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations.
Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because she is 6 months pregnant.
Reflective Questions
How would you address Alberts beliefs?
What learning would be needed in each domain?
What learning theories would you consider?
How might his family concerns be addressed?

Analytical essay on primary sources

In this 5-page draft Analytical Essay on Primary Sources you will continue to analyze one primary source from the primary sources in one of the Discussion Boards in Weeks 2-4. The topics of those Discussion Boards are: Hammurabi’s Law Code, Zoroastrianism, Classical Greece, and China and Rome (Week 2), the Silk Road, the Abbasid Caliphate, the Song Dynasty, and Medieval European Towns (Week 3), and Empires of Western Africa and the Aztec Empire (Week 4). For your final Analytical Essay on Primary Sources you will deepen and extend your analysis of the single primary source you chose. You may not write on Cave Arts, Venus Figurines, atal Hyk, or Stick Charts for this assignment. To help you verify that you have chosen an eligible primary source, please review the list of eligible primary sources for this assignment a the link below.

You begin this assignment by reading or viewing the one primary source you chose and analyze its meaning by making notes on your answers to the questions below:
What kind of primary source is it?
Who is the author or creator (if known)?
Can you tell why was it written or created?
What is the primary source’s tone? What words and phrases (and/or scenes and visual perspectives) convey it?
What are the author’s or creator’s values and assumptions are? Is there visible bias? Explain your answers.
What information does it relate? Did the author or creator have first-hand knowledge of the subject or did s/he report what others saw and heard?
What issues does it address?
What is your overall assessment of the primary source and its usefulness/significance for the historical study of your topic?
You can only use sources from the course (required readings from the textbook and websites) for the Analytical Essay on Primary Sources. No sources from outside the course are allowed. Use of or reference to material outside the course is not allowed and will result in a failing grade for the assignment.

Once you have analyzed the primary source by answering the questions, compose your essay using the information and insights from your analysis that you recorded in your notes. Your task in this essay is to summarize and interpret the primary source. Your task is not to argue with or endorse its ideas. Try to maintain an impartial tone. To complete the assignment successfully you need to read the source carefully and analyze its contents. We will practice these analytical skills in the discussion boards and here are some steps to follow as you put your ideas into writing this essay.
Start your essay with your overall impression of the primary sources. Tell the reader what kind of sources they are (images, legal codes, literary texts, travelogues, memoirs, architecture, etc.). Express in your best possible prose the stated or implied main point of each source and try to surmise from clues in the text (tone, topics, values, etc.) the sources purpose. Finish your introduction with your thesis statement which should be your answer to prompt 8. Engage the readers interest by using active verbs and active voice.
Next, provide a historical context for the documents. In what kind of society did the primary sources creators live? What were the dominant cultural assumptions of the period? How might the sources creators fit into this larger background? Do not limit yourself to these questions. Your goal is to present an accurate and concise two- to three-paragraph sketch that places the primary source in its historical context and gives an appropriate factual and thematic background to the specific points you will discuss in the next part of the essay. To provide this context, please consult the course textbook and supplemental web materials that accompany the primary sources in the course.
The next section of the essay should state what you take to be the tone of the primary source, the key issues the source raises, and the information it provides. Be sure to give examples to support your claims about tone and issues. Summarize the source’s main points in detail as you relate them to those issues. Express your ideas as clearly and forcefully as possible and be sure that similar ideas are grouped together around a central issue for each paragraph. Each paragraph must develop one, and only one, identifiable idea. Make sure that your ideas flow easily from one paragraph to another by means of clear transitions.
After summarizing the primary source it is now time to analyze the values and assumptions it contains. This part of the essay calls for you to make some inferences from the source since values and assumptions are more often hidden and implicit rather than open and explicit. They are the unspoken foundations on which a source rests and they often give it its meaning. Be sure to present those pieces of evidence upon which you make your assessment.
In the conclusion, summarize your main points, discuss the significance of the primary source, and leave the reader with an idea to ponder. Your conclusion should pull your ideas together and flow naturally from the body of the essay.

Your essay should be no less than 5 double-spaced typed pages in 12-point Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins on all sides. It can be longer, however, Title, Bibliography, and Works Cited pages are not part of the required page count.
The formatting of the essay and all citations need to follow Chicago Manual of Style format. Chicago is the citation and bibliographic style used by historians. Click on the website links below for Chicago-style guides and examples of humanities and author-date citation styles. You may use either humanities or author-date citation styles but use only one of these styles in your work. The author-date citation style is very close to MLA and APA styles. A modified MLA or APA format that provides page numbers from a hard copy of the textbook may be allowed. Check with your instructor. If you are using an e-book version of the textbook, identify passages by citing the chapter, section, and paragraph number.

Document 1

Mary Elizabeth Lease was a leader of the Knights of Labor and the Populist Party. She toured the country giving speeches and was a powerful and popular speaker. Lease gave this speech at a Populist Party convention in Kansas in 1890
Wall Street owns the country. It is no longer a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, but a government of Wall Street, by Wall Street, and for Wall Street.
The great common people of this country are slaves, and monopoly is the master. The West and South are bound and prostate (bowed down) before the manufacturing East.
Money rules, and our Vice-President is a London banker. Our laws are the output of a system which clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags.

The [political] parties lie to us and the political speakers mislead us. . . . The politicians said we suffered from overproduction. Overproduction, when 10,000 little children, so statistics tell us, starve to death every year in the United States, and over 100,000 shopgirls in New York are forced to sell their virtue for the bread their [miserable] wages deny them. . . .

We want the accursed (terrible) foreclosure system wiped out We will stand by our homes and stay by our fireside by force if necessary, and we will not pay our debts to the loan-shark companies until the government pays its debts to us. The people are at bay; let the bloodhounds of money who dogged us thus far beware.

Document 2

This then is held to be the duty of the man of wealth. First: to set an example of modest, unostentatious (humble) living, shunning (avoiding) display; to provide moderately for the legitimate wants of those dependent upon him, and after doing so, to consider all surplus (extra) revenues which come to him simply as trust funds (money that one person manages for others), which he is strictly bound as a matter of duty, to administer in the manner which in his judgment is best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community.

The man of wealth must become a trustee (money manager) and agent for his poorer brethren (brothers), bringing to their service his superior wisdom, experience, and ability to administer. Those who would administer wisely must indeed be wise. One of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity. It was better for mankind that the millions of the rich were thrown into the sea than spent to encourage the slothful (lazy), the drunken, the unworthy..

The [economic] laws of accumulation should be left free; the laws of distribution free. Individualism will continue. But the millionaire will be but a trustee for the poor; entrusted for a season with a part of the increased wealth of the community, but administering it for the community far better than it did, or would have done, of itself.
