Learning Goal: I’m working on a psychology writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.Detailed Outline for P.A.S. PaperBecause this paper requires extra steps, the page minimum is 4 and maximum is 6.I. IntroductionGive us three to four sentences about the issue of physician-assisted suicide in general…no more
Tell us that Marcia Angell, a physician and former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, argues in favor of legalized physician-assisted suicide (hereafter referred to as P.A.S.) in her paper, “The Supreme Court and Physician-Assisted Suicide — The Ultimate Right.”
Make the claim that although Angell’s argument may have been considered strong at its time of publication (1997, and prior to the enactment of the first “Death With Dignity” law in the country), it would be considered weak today because it lacks sufficient grounds to support the conclusion; grounds that are available today as a result of 20-plus years of experience with the law in this country.
Thesis statement: In this paper, I will supply some extra grounds to her argument, thereby making the argument strong.
Map of paper: “First, I will briefly summarize Angell’s original argument, including its strategy, dominant bioethical principle, and the principle least emphasized. Next, I will present her original argument in standard form and explain why it could be considered logically weak in the current day. Then I will briefly discuss two additional and more recent articles in order to offer two additional premises to Angell’s original argument, thereby expanding its grounds and increasing its strength. Finally, I will conclude by considering a possible objection to this new argument and answering that objection.”
II. ExpositionBriefly summarize Angell’s argument, being careful to mention her strategy of covering eight common objections to P.A.S. and answering them. One or two of these can be discussed here, but no more.
The argument favors the bioethical principle of respect for persons. Briefly explain why and illustrate how.
Which is the least emphasized bioethical principle? Briefly explain why and illustrate how.
III. EvaluationTransition statement: “I will now present Angell’s argument in standardized form:”
Present the breakdown (Three premises and then the conclusion, in list form, single-spaced and indented)
In any bioethical debate, the patient’s autonomy must almost always take precedence, even when this principle conflicts with others.
Dying is often a painful, comfortless, and undignified process.
The usual arguments against physician-assisted suicide cannot offset a doctor’s duty to relieve suffering and respect their patient’s autonomy.
C: Physician-assisted suicide ought to be legal.Explain why this argument may have been considered strong for its time, but not any longer (because it lacks sufficient grounds). Be charitable with this explanation, and give it some space to breathe (meaning, spell it out carefully).
IV. Suggestions for ImprovementExplain that by gathering up some information about how Death with Dignity laws have actually functioned in this country over the past 20-plus years, we are in a position to contribute to the grounds of Angell’s original argument. Here are some possible aspects that you can address in preparation for adding the two additional premises that you promised in the Intro:
Look for any aspect among Angell’s discussion of the objections to P.A.S. that you may be able to raise to the level of a positive, contributing premise. See the document called “Breakdown of Angell’s P3 with Links to Possible Sources” for suggestions.
Briefly summarize the relevant points in each article…the parts that you are going to draw from for your two new premises. This part should be two standard paragraphs long (one for each source).
Announce that you will now present a new standardized version of Angell’s argument that incorporates two new premises based upon the information you just delivered.
In any bioethical debate, the patient’s autonomy must almost always take precedence, even when this principle conflicts with others.
Dying is often a painful, comfortless, and undignified process.
*New Premise based on research (this should be a single statement that is relevant to and supports the conclusion)

The usual arguments against physician-assisted suicide cannot offset a doctor’s duty to relieve suffering and respect their patient’s autonomy.
C: Physician-assisted suicide ought to be legal.Explain that this new version (with its increased grounds) can be considered logically strong. Also explain that discussing cogency is beyond the scope of this paper.
V. ConclusionIn this section, wrap up your paper by re-articulating what you have done. Then consider a possible objection to your “new and improved argument,” and answer it.
Your paper will also be graded on clarity/style as well as mechanics.CLARITY/STYLE: Your paper should be written such that a person who is entirely unfamiliar with the subject could understand it and follow it with relative ease. This means that you avoid excessively long sentences and you keep it simple. Once again, imagine that you are writing your paper to a reasonably intelligent friend who is interested in what you have to say but is unfamiliar with the subject. Also, your paper should not digress from your thesis. This means that your paper constantly keeps its objective in sight and does not change the subject or veer off course. You should avoid the use of the first-person (“I” and “my”) except within your intro and conclusion. Avoid insults. If you have a criticism, provide REASONS, not ad hominem attacks. Rhetorical questions and slang are not appropriate. Also, avoid editorializing and personal commentary. MECHANICS: “Mechanics” here refers to the presentation of your paper as well as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and proper citation. Paper should be double-spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins. Paper should be 4-6 pages…no less than 4 but no more than 6. Most importantly, you should accomplish your objective. Your premise/conclusion format should be indented from the body paragraph and single spaced. When you mention the author and article name in the introduction, or any time you directly quote the article (which should be twice at most) you should use Chicago style and footnotes for your citations. The Purdue Owl is a great website for showing you how to do this.
