The paper must examine either a portion of the work of a significant moral theologian or a specific issue relating to health care. The paper should perform (a) an analytical function–i.e., sort out what’s at stake with respect to the moral theologian or issue being discussed, and (b) a critical function–i.e., present and defend your own views on these matters.
The topic needs to focus on the ethical debate of providing healthcare services to illegal immigrants in the United States. This has become an increasingly problematic issue in states like California where hospitals have to provide emergency healthcare to illegal immigrants, most of which came from Mexico. There is also the rising issue that many illegal immigrants are able to pull from social security and medicare when they come of age. The big issue to focus on in the paper is how much care should the United States Government provide to illegal immigrants and how much does the care cost the average American?
I need 20 cited sources, with preferably multiple citations. One source needs to be The New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. The Bible can only serve as one of the necessary sources, but multiple quotes can be used from it. The sources can not come simply from popular press, but need to mostly be from scholarly Journals here most of which should be based in the United States since the issue needs to focus on the United States. The focus of the class is Medical Ethics from a Christian perspective, looking at the allocation of scarce healthcare resources among Americans both citizens, immigrants, and illegal immigrants.
