Course Director: Dr. Duff R. Waring
Longer Research Paper: 2500-3000 words due by midnight on Friday March 29/2024.
This longer argumentative essay is 2500-3000 words in length (not including title page and bibliography) and worth 35% of your final mark. It will require more research than the first essay. 3000 words is your maximum limit. It must include a thesis statement and an argument defending it. Define all key terms and relevant conceptual distinctions. In defending your thesis, acknowledge and attempt to rebut two strong counterarguments to the position you take. You must engage with the readings in the course text that pertain to your chosen topic. Specify the influence of any of the general normative theories where relevant. See the handbook for writing a
philosophy essay noted below. It is posted on the eClass course website. The essay must be double-spaced and include a title page. The title page must contain your name, the course title as written above, the title of your paper, its word count and date of submission, and your TA’s name. Please number your pages starting with the first page of text. All quotations and sources should be cited as parenthetical references. Avoid block quotations, i.e., quotations of more than 40 words from a source. Paraphrase carefully. You must also use at least two other philosophic sources that are not listed in the course syllabus. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Online
is an acceptable internet source. Otherwise, stick with the Yorku Library system. Do not use blogs or study-guide web pages. The additional sources must be either philosophic books or philosophic journal articles. Please include a bibliography for all sources you cite in the paper. Remember, the bibliography and the title page are not included in your word count. The due date is firm. The penalty for late submissions is 5% of 35 per day including weekends. One electronic copy of the paper must be submitted to Turnitin by midnight on Thursday Nov. 25. We will not assign a grade to any essay that has not been submitted to Turnitin or that has not met my requirements for an alternative academic integrity review.

Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) is a morally troubling issue insofar as a human life can be
terminated at the hands of a physician. Does personal autonomy justify a moral right to MAiD, or a moral and a legal right to MAiD? If so, then why? If not, then why not? In attempting to resolve the question, many see the distinctions between killing and letting die, between requests and refusals, and between individual cases of MAiD and socially-sanctioned practices as crucial. How might one of these moral distinctions be employed to defend or contest a right to MAiD?
