The Right To Die Through Physician-Assisted Suicide
Argumentative Research Paper:
Project Topic: Right to Die/ Physician Assisted Suicide
Overview: I believe a person that is terminally ill has a right to physician assisted suicide because those that have suffered despite efforts deserve comfort and dignity.
In this assignment you will be researching a topic that can be argued. Your research must come from all sides of the issue. In other words your research cannot be one-sided. You need to take your opponent(s) into consideration. You will need 6 scholarly sources total. You are welcome to go over the 6 source limit if needed. The more sources you have, the easier it is to argue your position. (That are not scholarly) This paper is about you defending your position. Don’t write a paper where all you do is list everyone else’s opinion and then make a comment or two. You must stay within academia to support your argument. That means journals, academic books, and interviews.
Requirements for this paper:
• APA formatting throughout. That means a Title page, the Body, and a References page (all correctly formatted), as well as correctly formatted APA in-text citations for every source.
• Well-developed intro with opener, info on topic, and argumentative thesis addressing your opponent(s) with a strong main position and points to support that position.
• Well developed main body–Topic sentences must be clear. Each point must have well supported paragraph. You must also present the opposing viewpoint to your argument (minimum 1 “con”). In other words, you are addressing your opponent and strengthening your argument by showing you have "covered all the bases." Remember to argue your main position throughout (not just at the end) your main body. Citing must be interspersed and understandable.
• Developed Conclusion–clear restated thesis with main position and points–do not change positions. Highlight (summarize) evidence from your main points again. Add a closer.
