In the film, Peter Singer – A Dangerous Mind, several of the issues we’ve discussed so far are highlighted in the film, such as euthanasia and care of disabled infants, among other things. Singer’s views are controversial, and you will undoubtedly have strong feelings about them, one way or the other. Also, please keep in mind that Singer’s views, should you decide to research them further, are often misquoted and taken out of their full context.
Also, please note, your paper should:
be submitted in .doc, .docx, .pdf, or .rtf format
11 or 12 point font, double spaced
use proper APA citation and formatting
as to length, it should be no less than 4 pages, and no more than 8.
Also… MAC/iOS USERS… Neither the Turnitin service nor I can open the Mac “Pages” format. Please be sure to convert it to one of the above specified formats, before submitting.
For this assignment, you are to choose and focus on one of Peter Singer’s arguments in the film that deal with one of the bioethical issues we’ve discussed thus far. You will then write an essay in two parts, that addresses the following:
Do not choose the segment on Peter’s utilitarianism as your issue, stick with one that is completely in the realm of bioethics.
Also, do not use the four principles as one of your points, as the entire second section of the paper is focused on that.
C.) You should also address one of the criticisms in the film of Singer’s position, and critique it, meaning, examine what one of Singer’s critics say about him and analyze and critique what they are saying. Do you agree or disagree with it, and why? For some reason, some students forget to include this part, so don’t forget it!
Note: Be sure you watch the entire film before making judgments. Many students have strong reactions to Singer’s views, and don’t look at them in the full context, and end up focusing on one aspect instead of considering the greater meaning. DO NOT do that. If you write a paper that is not considering everything in the film, or you make it from completely emotional arguments, you will not be happy with your grade.
Remember, as always, you need to make persuasive, convincing arguments. There are many topics covered in this film. I STRONGLY recommend that you choose one that you can make convincing arguments for… if you feel yourself getting emotionally caught up in a particular argument, I’d recommend choosing a different one. I can’t emphasize how important this is. There are certainly certain points in the film that are easier to analyze and defend than others, so CHOOSE WISELY.
Part 2
Referring to the handout on principlism, analyze Singer’s argument that you chose in Part 1, according to the four principles (regardless of whether or not you agree with his position).
–Autonomy: How does the autonomy of the patient factor into Singer’s argument? Does it respect their autonomy? How? Remember, infants cannot be autonomous… the autonomy lies with the mother.
–Beneficence: Is what Singer proposes a promotion of what is best for the patient? How so, or why not?
–Non-maleficence: Does Singer’s proposal help the patient avoid harm? This is not an easy question, as one must ask what the greater harm is. This can often stand in opposition to beneficence.
–Justice: (distributive)How does Singer’s solution relate to the allotment of resources to other patients? Does it take from them? Free them up? (legal) What are the legal ramifications of Singer’s argument?
Please organize your paper so that I can see the distinctive points I’ve outlined above. Making headings for each section is a good way to do this.
Be sure to answer ALL parts of the assignment. No points will be given for missing parts, and you will not be able to revise them after the due date.
If you have any questions, please contact me through the Canvas inbox, ASAP.
Also, be sure to check your originality score, a few hours after turning it in. If it’s higher than 25 percent, make sure you cited all of your sources, properly, and make sure you didn’t use too many lengthy quotes.
