In this Module, you have learned about Deontology and spent time thinking about an article written on your applied ethics topic from a deontological perspective. In your initial post, you must do the following:
- Clearly explain the author’s position on your topic (animal rights, euthanasia, or global poverty). This should be formatted like a thesis statement (e.g., Regan believes that it is wrong to ….).
- Clearly explain the author’s reasons in support of this position. Make sure to do so well enough that your classmates who are working on another topic understand the author’s argument as well as how it counts as a deontological argument.
- Then, state whether you agree with the author’s conclusion and explain why or why not.
Use following article for discussion
- Euthanasia: “A Right of Self-Termination?” by J. David Velleman
