case study on death and dying 22
WEEK FOUR CASE STUDY ON DEATH AND DYING
The major focus of the assignment is an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview. If you look back to last week you did an analysis of the case study by looking at the application of the four ethical principles, this week you are using the Christian narrative as the analytical tool.
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?
- Given the 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.

ABSTRACT REQUIRED FOR 4th PAPER
Your paper this week requires that you also submit an abstract. I know this may be new to you and so the idea is focused on the professional publication of papers. If you were to submit you paper to a professional nursing journal an abstract would be required. This is giving you some practice on what that would be like.
This would be on the page immediately following the Title Page and before the start of your paper.
