Analyse a contemporary ethical issue in relation to well-being
You need to pick a current ethical issue in health (like euthanasia, vaccination, organ donation, or access to fertility treatment) and write a thorough analysis showing different viewpoints on the topic. Your job is to explain WHY people disagree about it and what the real-life impacts are on people's wellbeing — both for those directly involved and for society.
You explain the issue, show different perspectives exist, and describe some impacts on wellbeing.
You provide balanced coverage of opposing viewpoints with reasons behind them, and connect your analysis to underlying health concepts like socio-ecological perspective or hauora.
You examine perspectives with real insight into why people disagree at a deeper level, show understanding of the ethical foundations of different views, and weave health concepts throughout your analysis as central to the discussion.
