Topic: Assisted Dying (400 - 600 words)
There are many people who have disagreements with Canada’s new legislation regarding assisted deaths. Some think it allows too much (that is, they believe it should be made harder or even impossible for a healthcare provider to assist death) which others believe it doesn’t go far enough (that is, they believe it overly limits who can ask for an assisted death).Your task is to take one of these two positions (i.e., either it goes too far or does not go far enough), and present an argument that is well-structured, convincing, and efficiently written to support your claims. You should reference scientific research and use compelling logic to justify your stance. Do not try to take on too much in this assignment -- focus on one small, specific issue related to this debate.

Prior to beginning this assignment, read Modules 4 and 5, the Oswalt article, and watch the two assigned videos on physical development:
Discussion 1: Relationship Between Purpose of Study and Data Analysis Techniques
In order to make decisions about the value of any research study for practice, it is important to understand the general processes involved in analyzing research data. By now, you have examined enough research studies to be aware that there are some common ways that data are reported and summarized in research studies. For example, the sample is often described by numbers of participants and by certain characteristics of those participants that help us determine how representative the sample is of a population. The information about the sample is commonly reported in tables and graphs, making use of frequency distributions, measures of central tendency, and dispersion. Information about the variables (or concepts) of interest when quantified are also reported in similar manner.
Although the actual data analysis takes place after data have been collected, from the initial
