Your essay should clearly identify the following:

-Your topic
-Your thesis statement (the argument you are making)
-What is the law in Canada that governs your issue? How does this law affect your topic?
-What moral and ethical issues does your issue encounter? Discuss the ethical theories we studied in relation to your topic.
-Find a case to include as an example of the issue in Canada.

Please note: do not focus on the pros and cons of your topic. This is an argumentative essay, and therefore, should present your argument and research that supports this argument.
