Apply ONE of the following moral theories to your example: Utilitarianism, Deontology, or Virtue Ethics. Explain how applying this theory helped you ethically solve your dilemma.

Bioethics

Task 1: Construct an argument using the following structure:

• Premise 1
• Premise 2
• Conclusion

Note that you will not have to structure your arguments this way in the future (this is moderately formal and I will accept arguments written in prose so long as your conclusion is clear). However, I want to make sure that you understand how to make a very basic argument. Don’t overthink this – just make sure the conclusion follows from your premises (and, do not use a example straight out of the book).

Task 2: Give an example from your own life or from your imagination of an ethical dilemma, but do not give the actual or imagined resolution of the dilemma. Be brief yet informative.

Task 3: Apply ONE of the following moral theories to your example: Utilitarianism, Deontology, or Virtue Ethics. Explain how applying this theory helped you ethically solve your dilemma.

Here I want to see that you have a good understanding of the theory you chose, so be sure that your explanation convinces me that you’ve taken the time to think through how it applies to your example. Remember, you do not need to report the actual resolution of this dilemma, only the resolution you came to by applying one of the theories above.
