In this Module, you have learned about Deontology and spent time thinking about an article written on your applied ethics topic from a deontological perspective. In your initial post, you must do the following:

1. Clearly explain the author’s position on your topic (animal rights, euthanasia, or global poverty). This should be formatted like a thesis statement (e.g., Regan believes that it is wrong to ….).
2. Clearly explain the author’s reasons in support of this position. Make sure to do so well enough that your classmates who are working on another topic understand the author’s argument as well as how it counts as a deontological argument.
3. Then, state whether you agree with the author’s conclusion and explain why or why not.

Use following article for discussion

• Euthanasia: “A Right of Self-Termination?” by J. David Velleman

 Once you have collected and evaluated the relevant studies on your topic, you need to think how best to present the information in a way that captures the common themes you have found. What multiple discrete themes emerged from your review? You will need to determine these categories and concepts or themes you think are important to understanding your topic and defining your research problem. Consider what ideas surfaced across your studies and how the content from these studies can fit within some higher-level themes based on the focus of your own research. Even after you have grouped ideas and determined themes, you will need to decide how to order them in a way that makes your argument for your research problem compelling. These themes will eventually be the structure of your literature review.
