Discussion Question 1: Abortion and the Constitution
The debate over whether abortion is protected by the
Constitution is an ongoing controversial issue. Refer to the
perspectives of the US Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day
O’Connor on abortion and William H. Rehnquist on the decision
in Roe v. Wade (1973), the landmark US Supreme Court
decision establishing a woman's right to an abortion.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of legalizing
abortion?
Do examine the constitutional arguments such as whether the
Constitution recognizes the existence of a human being as a
person from the moment of biological conception?
Provide statistical data, sociological findings, research, or
important case law to support your answers.
Discussion Question 2: Physician-Assisted Suicide
One of the controversial topics regarding the law and
individuals is the question of whether restrictions on physician-
assisted suicide are constitutional. Oregon became the first state
to pass an assisted-suicide law. Review the 1994 Oregon law. It
states that physician-assisted suicide must be “voluntary” on
part of the patient.
Decide whether competent, terminally ill patients should have
the constitutional right to choose physician-assisted suicide.
Do explain your point elaborately. Additionally, discuss the
concept of “voluntary” and explain it.
Provide statistical data, sociological findings, research, or
important case law to support your answers.
