A Policy Proposal as a Guest Editorial
Write a 1,500-1,750-word
policy proposal related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs
using five to seven academic resources. The policy proposal
should be suitable for publication as an editorial in a college or city
newspaper or in a publication associated with a particular group, such as a
church newsletter or employee bulletin. The voice and style of your argument
should be aimed at readers of your chosen publication. Remember to not use
first person pronouns (I, me, us, we, our, my, mine) or second person pronouns
(you, your, yours) in this guest editorial writing, unless given permission by
your instructor.
Your editorial should have the following features:
1. Identify the problem
related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs.
Persuade the audience
that you have selected that this is a problem that needs solving; give it
presence.
Propose
action offering specific details to show how the actions will help
alleviate the problem.
Justify
your solution; the reasons why your audience should accept your proposal
and act on it.
This essay is NOT simply a persuasive essay on organ sale, trade, or donation. It is an argumentative
proposal that offers a practical and justifiable solution to a problem related
to organ donation.
