Argue for the position that an abortion is not morally permissible .
The paper should (1) explain how the biomedical ethical principles (autonomy and non-maleficence) come into tension in an issue or in a specific case or type of case (cases of abortion) and then (2) should resolve the tension with appeal to the ethical theories (normative, metaethical, value) and the relevant facts.
The paper should FOLLOW THE PHILOSOPHICAL METHOD, which (in bio-medical ethics) means that you must present and evaluate arguments and counter-arguments, drawing on relevant scholarly research into ethical and scientific theory, as well as empirical studies. You should be careful to observe the basics we have drilled since the beginning of the course: clearly defining key terms, striving for the principle of charity and objectivity, avoiding common logical fallacies, etc. The paper should be written with college level expectations as this is an AP course.
