Assignment 1: Commercialization of Organ Transplants
Due Week 4 and worth 200 points
Imagine that you are a member of an ethics committee listening
to arguments for and against altering the
way in which human organs are obtained for patients in need of
transplants. A new policy to allow the
sale of organs by consenting individuals to patients in need and
to medical institutions has been
proposed. Critics argue that permitting organs to be bought and
sold is unethical. You have been asked
to review the arguments for and against the commercialization
of organ transplants and to construct a
report with your suggested plan of action. Use the Internet or
Strayer databases to search for arguments
for and against the commercialization of organ transplants, and
then apply the principles learned in
Weeks 1-3 to formulate your report.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Briefly summarize the arguments for and against the
commercialization of transplants that you
found in your research.
2. Formulate your position on the debate of whether or not the
sale of organs should be permitted.
3. Defend your moral judgment with a moral argument. Identify
the moral principle that you are
appealing to in your moral argument.
4. Determine which normative theory best supports your
conclusion.
5. Use at least two (2) quality references. (Note: Wikipedia and
other Websites do not qualify as
academic resources.)
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Weekly Course Schedule
The purpose of the course schedule is to give you, at a glance,
the required preparation, activities, and
evaluation components of your course. For more information
about your course, whether on-ground or
online, access your online course shell.
The expectations for a 4.5 credit hour course are for students to
spend 13.5 hours in weekly work. This
time estimate includes preparation, activities, and evaluation
regardless of the delivery mode.
Instructional Materials
In order to be fully prepared, obtain a copy of the required
textbooks and other instructional materials
prior to the first day of class. When available, Strayer
University provides a link to the first three (3)
chapters of your textbook(s) in eBook format. Check your
online course shell for availability.
Review the online course shell or check with your professor to
determine whether Internet-based
assignments and activities are used in this course.
Strayer students are encouraged to purchase their course
materials through our designated bookstore
MBS Direct. http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/strayer.htm If a lab
is required for the course, MBS Direct is
the only vendor that sells the correct registration code so that
Strayer students may access labs
successfully.
Discussions
To earn full credit in an online threaded discussion, students
must have one original post and a minimum
of one other post per discussion thread.
Please note: Material in the online class will be made available
three weeks at a time to allow students to
work ahead, however, faculty will be focused on and responding
only to the current calendar week. As it
is always possible that students could lose their work due to
unforeseen circumstances, it is a best
practice to routinely save a working draft in a separate file
before posting in the course discussion area.
Professors hold discussions during class time for on-ground
students. Check with your professor if any
additional discussion participation is required in the online
course shell outside of class hours.
Tests
Tests (quizzes, midterm and final exams, essay exams, lab tests,
etc.) are available for student access
and completion through the online course shell. Check the
online course shell to determine how students
are expected to take the tests. Do not change these questions or
their point values in any way. This
disrupts the automated grade book preset in the online course
shell.
Details regarding due dates are
posted in the Blackboard Calendar tool.
-ground students are to complete the tests after the
material is covered and before the next
class session.
Assignments
A standardized performance grading rubric is a tool your
professor will use to evaluate your written
assignments. Review the rubric before submitting assignments
that have grading rubrics associated with
them to ensure you have met the performance criteria stated on
the rubric.
Grades are based on individual effort. There is no group
grading; however, working in groups in the
online or on-ground classroom is acceptable.

BUS 309 Student Version 1142 (1161 11-27-2013) Final Page 11 of 12 Weekly Course Schedule The purpose of the course schedule is to give you, at a glance, the required preparation, activities, and evaluation components of your course. For more information about your course, whether on-ground or online, access your online course shell. The expectations for a 4.5 credit hour course are for students to spend 13.5 hours in weekly work. This time estimate includes preparation, activities, and evaluation regardless of the delivery mode. Instructional Materials In order to be fully prepared, obtain a copy of the required textbooks and other instructional materials prior to the first day of class. When available, Strayer University provides a link to the first three (3) chapters of your textbook(s) in eBook format. Check your online course shell for availability.
  • 48. Review the online course shell or check with your professor to determine whether Internet-based assignments and activities are used in this course. Strayer students are encouraged to purchase their course materials through our designated bookstore MBS Direct. http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/strayer.htm If a lab is required for the course, MBS Direct is the only vendor that sells the correct registration code so that Strayer students may access labs successfully. Discussions To earn full credit in an online threaded discussion, students must have one original post and a minimum of one other post per discussion thread. Please note: Material in the online class will be made available three weeks at a time to allow students to work ahead, however, faculty will be focused on and responding only to the current calendar week. As it is always possible that students could lose their work due to unforeseen circumstances, it is a best practice to routinely save a working draft in a separate file before posting in the course discussion area. Professors hold discussions during class time for on-ground students. Check with your professor if any additional discussion participation is required in the online course shell outside of class hours. Tests Tests (quizzes, midterm and final exams, essay exams, lab tests,
  • 49. etc.) are available for student access and completion through the online course shell. Check the online course shell to determine how students are expected to take the tests. Do not change these questions or their point values in any way. This disrupts the automated grade book preset in the online course shell. Details regarding due dates are posted in the Blackboard Calendar tool. -ground students are to complete the tests after the material is covered and before the next class session. Assignments A standardized performance grading rubric is a tool your professor will use to evaluate your written assignments. Review the rubric before submitting assignments that have grading rubrics associated with them to ensure you have met the performance criteria stated on the rubric. Grades are based on individual effort. There is no group grading; however, working in groups in the online or on-ground classroom is acceptable. http://bookstore.mbsdirect.net/strayer.htm BUS 309 – Student Notes © 2014 Strayer University.
