Assignment Instructions
Imagine that you are the last survivor of an apocalypse caused by an outbreak of a deadly virus
resulting from contemporary scientific experiments (the specifics are not important). Realizing
that life of some kind may emerge after you are gone, write a manifesto on bioethics. Your
manifesto will briefly explain humanity's understanding of bioethics, analyze how humanity's
bioethical approach may have led to this disaster (again, the specifics of the outbreak are not
important; focus on the ethical perspectives and reasoning), and propose an ethical approach that
will avoid such a disaster in the future.
Assume that all you know about bioethics is what you learned from your studies this week. You
do not have a computer, and paper and ink are scarce—so make it count in one page.
Your assignment will be scored according to the criteria outlined in the Bioethical Manifesto
Scoring Guide. Refer to the scoring guide often as you develop your assignment, to be sure you
are addressing the essential criteria.
