4. 4. There are three candidates waiting for a heart transplant. The first candidate is a 14-year-old girl named Sally. Sally is an only child, and her parents have been asking everyday about the status of a transplant. The second is a 42-year-old business owner named Don. He has offered to donate two million dollars to the hospital if he receives the transplant. Don, however, has many additional health issues that may limit his ability to fully recover even if he receives the transplant. The hospital would use his generous donation to provide services to many of its poorer patients and expand its community reach. The third candidate is 38-year-old single mother named Marie. Marie is also a recovering addict. She has not abused drugs or alcohol in years; however, her earlier use has taken its toll on her heart. Marie is the sole support for her two children, a 10-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl. She currently works as a teen substance abuse counselor and speaks at local middle and high schools about her experience and recovery. You are the hospital administrator and must make the decision as to which candidate will get the heart. You will draft a memo to the transplant selection committee of the hospital. Your memo will include a review of the facts, an ethical analysis as to why you made your choice, and what ethical theory, (Utilitarianism, Right-Based, etc.…) best supports your decision.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
