a. In this reflection you must first define the key terms of the debate (for example,
define what Euthanasia/Abortion/Stem Cell/Public Health/PreNatal

types depending on which topic you are discussing)
b. Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know exactly
what the theory is and does – in your own words)
c. Present the evidence both pro and con and follow up how using your ethical
theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is really ethical
