Examine Rachels’ reasoning on the morality of voluntary euthanasia:
To begin with a familiar type of situation, a patient who is dying of incurable
cancer of the throat is in terrible pain, which can no longer be satisfactorily
alleviated. He is certain to die within a few days, even if present treatment
is continued, but he does not want to go on living for those days since the
pain is unbearable. So he asks the doctor for an end to it, and his family
joins in the request. (http://rintintin.colorado.edu/~vancecd/phil1100/Rachels.pdf)
Explain:
1. How killing differs from letting someone die.
2. In what way is this distinction relevant to the problem of euthanasia?
3. What, if any, are the morally significant differences between killing and letting die?
4. Do you think that voluntary euthanasia is morally permissible? Explain and defend your answer.
5. Use Rachel’s essay in conjunction with this. (Hint: At one point you will need to examine the difference between killing and letting die. the Smith-Jones examples are devised for this purpose.)
6. How does a principle of universalizability enter into Rachels’ reasoning on this topic?
Respond with a well written philosophical essay 2-3 pages, typewritten and double spaced.) Use your notes, the articles we are discussing in class, your moral imagination and critical insight. Make sure that your sentences are well formed, your paragraphs exhibit thematic unity, and you answer each part of the question. Be clear, be specific, be thoughtful, and give reasons for what you say.
P. S. I will upload my typed notes from my class as they are very good for this essay. Please use my notes since the professor thought all of it in our class and I wrote it down. Thank you

Complete Standard 1 of your electronic portfolio. Standard 1 contains the following four (4) elements:
1.4 Diffusion of Innovations & Change
A portfolio rubric has been developed to help you understand what is required regarding the artifact(s) and reflection for each element. Please use this rubric as you are deciding which artifacts to use for each element and what to include in your reflection for each artifact. Please watch the video for Standard 1 to get an understanding of the expectations for each element in this standard.
You must provide at least one (1) artifact for each element. The artifact should represent a tangible product created through your participation in various course assignments and field experiences. One (1) artifact may be used to demonstrate mastery of multiple elements, but you must have at least 20 different artifacts in your portfolio. More than one artifact may be used to show mastery of an element.
Each element should have a narrative in the portfolio answering the questions below. The narrative for each element should be a MINIMUM of 4-5 paragraphs in length–one paragraph for reflection question #1, and one paragraph for reflection question #3. However, reflection question #2 may take 2-3 paragraphs or more. You must address all of the criteria in the rubric for this element in this question. Please watch the videos for a better understanding of what is expected for this element in question #2. The narrative should reflect a deep level of reflection answering the questions below. See a sample reflection.
Reflection Questions:
1. Briefly describe the artifact and the context in which it was created. What was your individual contribution(s)?
2. Explain how this artifact demonstrates mastery of the standard/element under which it is placed. See the portfolio rubric and watch the video for more details on what to include in your reflection for this question. You must respond to each of the items on the rubric in this question! It is VERY IMPORTANT that you address ALL of the criteria on the rubric. This one question may need to be several paragraphs long to address all of the items on the rubric.
3. What did you learn from completing this artifact? What would you do differently to improve the quality of the artifact or the process involved in creating the artifact? (Not changing anything is not an acceptable response.)
4. How did the work that went into creating the artifact impact school improvement, faculty development or student learning? How can the impact be assessed?
Compare the Scientific Management and the Human Relations approaches at use in today’s workplace. Is one better than the other? Explain.
Divide this essay into two parts: slavery during the Revolutionary Area and the antebellum era. Explain any shifts and changes before, during, and after the American Revolution. Then analyze the expansion, organization, and structure of slavery in the antebellum South. Make sure to include the subject of paternalism and its relationship to slave life. The Kolchin book is clearly crucial, but you’d also need to employ sources from SlideShow 5 and reading #16 on master-slave relations.
