On 21 August 2014, the New York Times posed the question whether people in need of a kidney transplant should be allowed to pay someone to donate one of theirs . Read the article entitled "Buying and Selling Organs Would Create an Economic Class War" by Katrina A. Bramstedt in response to this question, and write a critique of the text, incorporating the following:
a) An introductory paragraph that identifies Bramstedt's thesis (using your own words as far as possible). This can consist of a few short sentences, or a single all-encompassing sentence that encapsulates the focus of the writer's work. You need to state whether you agree or disagree with the writer's viewpoint on the issue, and provide brief reasons for your stand. Your introductory paragraph should also contain a summary of the Bramstedt's arguments. You should state these briefly, enumerating them using signals such as firstly, secondly, etc.
b) Your own assertions about the ideas and issues in Bramstedt's article, supported by your own arguments and evidence drawn from at least three external resources, which agree or disagree with specific points in the reading. This incorporates and synthesizes the views of others into your writing. Naturally, your critique will be more robust if you cite more resources. Please present ONE agreement point and THREE disagreement points. You should recognise the author's claim, reasons, evidence and assumptions.
c) A paragraph recognising the overall strengths and weaknesses of Bramstedt's arguments. Please provide ONE area of strength and ONE area of weakness in the main article. You should also suggest how the author could make her arguments more convincing.
d) A concluding paragraph that sums up your main points and gives a sense of unity to the whole essay. Develop your position and assertions pertaining to the key issues using concession and refutation process. You should reiterate and state briefly the author's flaws, if any.
Your essay must: e) Be clearly written, logically organised and grammatically correct. Use resources to synthesise the perspectives of others.
