Euthanasia Simulation

Synthesis literally means to place together.  Some of the words associated with synthesis are: arrange, assemble, collect, compose, construct, create, design, develop, formulate, manage, organize, plan. The basic idea of synthesis is that information from one document is incorporated into another document.

Draw on information from the following three writings about Euthanasia to construct a short essay.  You may draw parts of information from different sections.

Writing Prompt:

Writing to an audience whom you think would disagree with your position, respond to one or more of these questions, providing reasoned explanations for your answer. Draw from the reading as appropriate.

Questions:

  1. Should life-support for a patient in a vegetative state ever be withdrawn?

  2. In such cases, should the family be allowed to decide when the wishes of the comatose patient are unclear?

  3. Do you think a patient in a persistent vegetative state should be considered dead?
