Case Study on Death and Dying
Case Study on Death and Dying
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 understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.
Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview.
Provide a 1,500-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the following questions:
How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the world?
How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?
As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?
What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
Based on the values and considerations above, what options would be morally justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?
Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you were in George’s situation?
Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Hello Everyone,
I trust that we are all doing relatively good today. Here are some tips to complete this upcoming assignment.
Review the instructions thoroughly. Understand what is expected of you.
Review the rubric as well. Know how much you need to discuss to get full point in one section. One line discussion or mention of a point is not the same as a good paragraph on a point.
Adhere to the minimum word count. Less that the minimum word count will cause 10% to be manually deducted. Minimum word count does not include the cover and pages of references. You make ask, how can I meet or even exceed the minimum word count. Well one tip for this is to use subheadings. Subheadings keep your discussion focused and deliberate. Without subheadings you stand the chance of discussing some point very well and others not so well, everything is one big jumble. Try using subheadings (just a suggestion). They are the sections of your paper.
An abstract is required. Therefore, familiarize yourself on how to write an abstract. Therefore, if the abstract is missing, another 10% is lost. Therefore know what it is required in an abstract.
One thing you must know about the abstract is that it is on the second page after the cover page by itself. The abstract is not suppose to be part of the body. If the essay is written and the word abstract is planted at the top, it will be ignored as if you did not write one. Again, the abstract needs to be on the second page by itself. It should be a good solid paragraph. Centered at the top of that paragraph is the word abstract. the next page starts the body of the paper.
How many subheadings: about 6 subheadings
