Write a three-paragraph paper on the following topic: are the current Canadian laws on euthanasia reasonable?
The structure of this assignment is the following:
Paragraph 1: “I say that the current Canadian laws on euthanasia are/are not reasonable because…”
Paragraph 2: “One might object that…”
Paragraph 3: “I reply that…”
(i) Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to develop your ability to present a strong argument, raise a strong objection that engages the argument, and then reply to the objection. A strong argument is well developed and difficult to refute. A strong objection is well developed, deals with the most significant potential weakness(es) of the argument, and is difficult to refute. Avoid making the mistake of providing a weak argument, entertaining an obvious objection, then easily refuting the objection in your reply.
You should also make sure that your argument, objection, and reply engage one another. Your paragraph 1 should present an argument, paragraph 2 gives an objection against paragraph 1, and paragraph 3 gives a reply to the objection in paragraph 2.
