ESSAY 3 TOPIC: How does the personhood of the fetus affect the classification of abortion as ethical or unethical? In case the topic is unclear you can think about it like this: If someone proves conclusively that the fetus as a person, how would that affect the ethics of abortion? If someone proved conclusively that the fetus is not a person, how would that affect the ethics of abortion? That is what the topic is trying to get you to consider.
In considering this topic you should look at the arguments by Steinbock, Marquis, Callahan, Thompson, Warren, and others. You will not have room to discuss them all, so you will have to select one or two of them to illustrate the points you want to make. You will find that in some cases the arguer can justify their position with no appeal to personhood whatsoever. This includes both pro-choice and anti-abortion positions. In other cases the arguer relies heavily on the personhood status of the fetus.

The Essay Assignment parameters are exactly the same as ESSAYS 1 & 2.
The Essay should be 2-3 pages in length (this means from the beginning of the first line of the argument to the end of the last line of argument should be at least 2 pages and no more than 3 pages). The page count DOES NOT INCLUDE the title page, or the lines at the beginning that list the names, class name, date, etc. The Essay should be in font size 12, double spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides. The Essay should have the following structure:
Introduction – 1 paragraph. Provide some background on the topic and state your Thesis (what position are you going to argue for).
Body – make your argument. This can happen in a few different ways. There is no one correct way. As long as you make your paper clear and organize your points well you should be fine. Here are a couple of examples of how you could structure the body of the argument.
Conclusion – Recap your main points and your Thesis.
You will be graded on your:
1. Organization (follow a clear structure that makes it easy for the reader to follow your argument),
2. Writing ability (level of vocabulary, clarity of expression, sentence structure, polish, lack of grammatical and spelling errors),
3. Argumentation (logical consistency, making good points that support your Thesis while also being consistent with common sense and facts, using good examples to illustrate your points).
