Debating Free Market Reproduction

In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented scenario. This should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know. Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and reasoning. You will need to question your existing knowledge and beliefs.

To complete each scenario assignment:

Complete the entire scenario.
Compose your reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:

Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, as well as other sources as needed.
Your reflection must be 1-2 pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation guidelines as appropriate.
