HSM-542 Week 3 Assignment: The Case of Roe vs. Wade
HSM 542 Week 3 Discussion 1: Roe V. Wade
What were the key elements of the court’s holding in Roe v. Wade? Should the stage of pregnancy determine a woman’s right to an abortion? What are the rights of fathers? Regardless of your personal opinions and religious beliefs on abortion, try to identify the legal principles and parameters outlined in your readings. We’ll refer to these as we continue our discussion this week.
HSM 542 Week 3 Discussion 2: New Reproductive Technologies
Respond to a current advance in reproductive technology. Post a 1- to 2-minute multimedia piece recapping the news article and providing your summary of the ethical and legal issues for providers, the parents, and the unborn child.
In addition to posting your individual multimedia piece, you must comment on two other students’ posts. Multimedia technology does not need to be used in the replies, but you are always welcome to use it! Remember, they must still be quality posts. Simply stating, “Nice job, I agree” is not sufficient. Examples of quality posts include
- providing additional information to the discussion;
- elaborating on previous comments from others;
- presenting explanations of concepts or methods to help fellow students;
- presenting reasons for or against a topic in a persuasive fashion;
- sharing your own personal experiences that relate to the topic; and
- providing a URL and explanation for an area you researched on the Internet.
