Please cover a small section of grass in your lawn with an item that light cannot penetrate.  One foot by one foot is fine.  If you do not have a lawn, cover a few leaves on a houseplant (foil works well) or a bush outside.  Please be certain not to do this on somebody elses’ prized plants/lawn or on something like poison ivy.  Be sure to cover a spot that still gets sun this time of year.  After 3 days, make an observation about what has changed.  Then do the same after one week, and then 12 days.  At the end of the attached lab report (see below), record your observations and discuss what has happened in relation to the formula for photosynthesis (not just “it changed color”).  Also discuss whether or not and when the plant or grass received any water, average time in the sun per day, etc..  Use nearby grass or uncovered leaves as your experimental control.  Be sure to be thinking about the scientific method from the start.

  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend your own view.

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2 of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.
