Today, you will be looking at some sensitive subject matter, key moral and ethical issues. You may have your own strong opinions on each of the issues, and will have an opportunity to express these on your blog later. Firstly, you need to research the top 5 religions, as identified above, as to their beliefs.
Task: Create a table for your research. You will need columns for the following issues:
- Capital Punishment
- Euthanasia
- Drugs (usage & legalisation)
- Abortion
- Medical research
You will need a row for the top 5 religions represented in England & Wales as well as a definition row for each of the issues. For example:
