Approx 2 lessons on euthanasia - should people have the choice to die?
Learning objectives: to understand what is meant by the term euthanasia and the different types of euthanasia; to know the UK law on euthanasia; to understand some of the issues surrounding euthanasia and differing attitudes
Students start by looking at and discussing a newspaper article about child euthanasia, look at the different types of euthanasia (passive, active, involuntary, voluntary), the UK law on euthanasia, and then look at the case of Tony Bland. The class is then split into groups to do group work on this case, ‘taking it to court’.
Some groups are assigned the case of the prosecution (that it was murder), and others are given the defence (mercy). The groups are given information packs with instructions for what they need to do, as well as evidence about Tony Bland and information about an organisation that either supports or opposes euthanasia.
Resources included: PPT, lesson plan, newspaper article, mercy packs, murder packs
