Instructions
For your journal assignment, complete the following steps:
Review one of the following reading options:
The Consequences of Son Preference and Sex-Selective Abortion in China and Other Asian Countries or
Medicine Without Blood (A three-part series; be sure to read all three parts for maximum impact)
How Jehovah’s Witnesses are Changing Medicine
Should Anyone be Given a Blood Transfusion?
The Ethics of Bloodless Medicine
Select a practice that is discussed in the article(s) you chose in step one (such as sex selective abortion, prenatal sex determination, or blood transfusion refusal for Jehovah’s witnesses) and state in your first sentence of the journal assignment whether you personally agree or disagree with the practice. This will help your instructor to effectively evaluate your argument.
Argue against your personal belief using cultural, political, economic, social, or religious factors that support the practice. Many of these factors that will support your argument can be found in the articles, but you may need to do additional outside research to construct the most effective argument.
For additional details, please refer to the Module Three Journal Guidelines and Rubric PDF document.
