Topic Proposal for Policy/Proposal Paper
In today’s society death is considered a taboo subject in that no one wants to talk about it and that people love to avoid. This however is not true of many of the people that are getting ready to die. They are often open to death and in many case wish for death to come faster to put them out of the pain. I am proposing a plan for assisted suicide and euthanasia to be legal and for doctors to be able to practice these without worry of charges being brought against them. My policy will be that these practices should be legal, accepted, and practiced among doctors. I think more information on the history of cases and legislation could come in handy but other than that I have most of my information.

You bring up points of making both a policy and a proposal for this paper. I think that you need to choose either one or the other in order to write a specific, detailed, and effective paper. I think that a paper on policy and that assisted suicide and euthanasia should be legal would be a good way to go. It seems like you have confidence that you could make a good policy that would be convincing. You mention that information on the history of cases and the legislation could come in handy, and I agree that this info would help. Once you make a decision, I see your paper heading in a very good direciton.
Eric, sounds like you are on the right track for a policy paper rather than for a proposal one. Since you are more concerned with justifying its use than with suggesting in what steps the policy should be implemented, stick to claims about the change of existing laws and about the motivation for such a change. Make sure you do not get carried away with too many history and legal cases though. Also, are you planning on calling for legalizing both euthanasia and assisted suicide or just one? Why?
