Discuss the following questions

Part 1

The Threaded Discussions are like mini-classroom presentations. Each week a question will be presented for your consideration. You must submit your first post by Thursday; posts two and three must be posted by Sunday. All three posts must be on three separate days, and must be supported by a reference (i.e. a citation to your source). Your posts should be very formal, with proper use of citations, grammar, and spelling. Casual conversations should be limited to the Open Bar.

This is the CRITERIA that your posts will be graded on:

• The depth of understanding you display
• The accuracy of your cites (citations are mandatory)
• Your writing skills (grammar / spelling)
• Proper word count (between 150 – 250 words ONLY)
• The quality of your interaction with other students in the discussion

No posts at all, or of opinion alone

* Note: This grading chart is a basic calculation for you to follow. Your final grade will depend on the effort shown, the actual number of posts submitted, and the quality of interaction.

Week 3 Law Talk Topic:

This week we will be focusing our discussion on patient consent. You should skim Chapter 14 before proceeding with this assignment. Focus your attention on the Matter of Dubreuil case on page 391.

Scenario for Post 1

You represent the hospital, and insist that the hospital has the right to assert the state’s interest over Ms. R. E. Fusal. Ms. Fusal is refusing to accept a blood transfusion. Without it, she will die. The hospital attorney is preparing for a court hearing where the judge will determine whether to order the transfusion or enforce the patient’s refusal. What arguments can you provide to the hospital attorney? What is the hospital’s rationale for requiring this patient to receive treatment?

Scenario for Post 2

Read through the posts submitted by your fellow students for Post 1. Choose a post that interests you, and respond to it. But for this post, you no longer represent the hospital. Now, you represent Ms. R. E. Fusal. What arguments would you tell the judge on her behalf? What are your issues with the arguments presented to the judge by the hospital in Post 1?

Scenario for Post 3

Now you choose. Read through the posts submitted by the class. What is your opinion? What side seemed to have more valid arguments? Should a hospital have the right to require treatment? Why / why not? Be sure to support your opinion by citing to a fellow student’s post.

Here is an example of a post that meets criteria:

Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. The Supreme Court at that time determined that a woman had a right to choose. One of the “underpinning” issues of Roe is a right to privacy. The right to privacy is addressed in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th, 13th and 14th Amendments.

The Supreme Court has reaffirmed Roe v Wade 38 times (1). In 1992, Casey v Planned Parenthood,14 F.3d 848, the Court ruled 5-4 to uphold the core of Roe v. Wade, the right to privacy. In this case, the Supreme Court stated, “the ability of women to participate equally in economics and social life of the Nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives and that this ability to control their reproductive lives was enough of a reliance to sustain Roe.”(2). This conclusion by the court specifically affirmed the doctrine stare decisis as it applies to Roe v Wade.(3)

In my opinion the original ruling in 1973, 38 reaffirmations, the 1992 affirmation of Roe v. Wade doctrine of Stare Decisis , the rights to privacy as indicated above, along with the fact that this law has become a law that has come “to be relied on”(4), makes it obvious that this is “settled law”. However, Judge Alito’s refusal to commit to one side or the other, has enabled him to avoid hanging himself with either the pro-life or the pro-choice side. In my opinion, Judge Alito is not correct in his refusal to acknowledge Roe v Wade as settled law.

Part 3

Week 3 Open Bar

This is your local bar (either coffee or sports….the choice is yours). Here, you will discuss the material covered this week. Consider this assignment as a weekly study session with your friends from school.

I will only pop in from time to time, but will not participate in your discussions. This is your time to bond with classmates and to discuss the material among yourselves.

By the time this assignment is complete, you will have an outline by which to study from for your exams. All exam questions are covered by the review topics.

As you review this week’s topics, be sure to relax, enjoy your beverage of choice, have fun, and get to know your fellow students.

This is your assignment…..

1. Choose two topics from this week’s review (posted below).
2. Answer ONE review topic PER post
   You will need TWO posts, so you will outline TWO review topics in total.
3. Start each post with the topic number that you are answering. For example: Topic 1. This will help students readily identify which topics remain unanswered.
4. Each post must be a minimum of 100 words.
5. In your posts, be sure to cite the textbook page number where you found the information.
6. Try to have both posts submitted by Thursday of this week (this way you will have time to make outlines for the exams).
7. Do not outline a topic that has already been explained by a fellow student.
8. If all of the topics have been explained, pick a topic that you feel needs further explanation. Add more information on that topic by way of outside research, examples, and more detail.
9. You will not get credit for repeating information that has already been stated in another post. You want to complete this assignment early. That way, you are not restricted by what other students have already discussed.
10. Points will be deducted for poor grammar, spelling, failing to cite accurately, and failing to meet the word count.

The goal of this assignment…..

Your goal is to create an outline for your exams. Take the material that is posted in the Open Bar, organize it, and you will have a complete review for the exams. The Open Bar from weeks 1 and 2 will prepare you for the midterm; the Open Bar from weeks 3 and 4 will prepare you for the final exam and post test.

IMPORTANT note…..

This assignment is not as formal as Law Talk, so feel free to engage in casual conversation. You can discuss your job, your hobbies, your family, or anything at all that seems interesting (but please keep it at a PG rating).

• When submitting a casual post, be sure to start it with the title:

• CASUAL POST (instead of a topic review number).
• This way, students can select your post if they just want to socialize, or select the review posts if they want to study.

Casual posts do NOT count towards your grade.

CHEERS!

Part 4

Project Submission

For your final project, you will be discussing issues related to ethics. These are controversial and heated topics, so there will be plenty to discuss. Specifically, you will be reading about Theresa Schiavo, which was a very heated case in 2005.

Please follow these directions:

1. Read the timeline of the Schiavo case at: https://bioethics.miami.edu/clinical-and-research-ethics/terri-schiavo-project/timeline-of-key-events/index.html
2. Do some of your own independent research on Terri Schiavo. You must have at least five (5) sources cited in your paper.
3. Analyze the research in order to determine who was ethically correct in your opinion; the husband or the parents.
4. Write a persuasive research paper on your findings, thoughts, and opinions. Pick a side, and defend it.
5. Your paper should be at least three (3) full pages, but no more than five (5) full pages. You should have two additional pages: one with your sources, and one as a cover page.
6. Please cite to all sources using either footnotes or endnotes. If you are unfamiliar with this, please refer to the APA website for formatting help: (https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html)
7. Use quotation marks properly when citing your sources. Again, please refer to the site above for help with quotations.
8. No more than 20% of your paper can be a direct quote. I want YOUR analysis, not something that is copied from a website.
9. Submit your paper by 11:59 PM (EST) on Sunday the end of Week Three.
10. Your paper should have one-inch margins all around, typed in Times New Roman (12″) font, and must be saved as an MS Word document (doc.).

Your grade will be based in the following criteria:

Content	30%
Persuasiveness of arguments	30%
Grammar / Spelling	20%
Proper Use of Citations	20%
Total	100%

IMPORTANT NOTE

Papers that are plagiarized will be given a zero. You must analyze the material you read, express what you’ve read in your own words, then provide a citation for everything that is not your own THOUGHT. If you obtained information from a source, and put that information into your own words, you must still cite that source.
