The document provides instructions for a 10-minute slide presentation on an astronaut bioethics topic. Students must present both sides of the issue fairly, then justify their own viewpoint and conclude with at least three ethical discussion questions. The presentation must include properly formatted references and avoid slides with too many words or lack of clarity. It is worth 25% of the student's grade and involves submitting a topic, outline paper by Module 6, and narrated PowerPoint by Module 8. The outline paper must research both sides of the debate and justify the student's position using a moral theory. The presentation slides must summarize both sides fairly using citations, state an opinion justified by theory, and conclude with a summary and questions.

Create a 10-minute slide-style presentation with accompanying audio. Present both sides of
the issue fairly; then justify your viewpoint. End with at least three ethical discussion
questions about the topic. Include a slide that lists your references in APA format (see the
presentation outline section). Make sure the presentation features an appropriate number
of slides and presents the information as clearly as possible. Avoid including slides with too

the notes section of the slide for large chunks of text or supporting information.

Modules> Course Specific Instructions > Ethical Research Presentation GuideQuality
Research:Conduct quality research on the topic and present that research. A good topic of
choice will feature at least five professional sources from the ERAU Hunt Library database.

2. Unbiased articles and academic studies are best. Examples are scholarly periodicals,
journals, books, research forums, and Internet periodicals by reputable organizations. You
may also use reputable news media (Newsweek, Time, government publications, and web
sites), but these donotcount toward your total reference requirement (five required). Do
not use encyclopedias, dictionaries, Wikipedia, and popular forums or Internet web sites.

Topic of Choice: PowerPoint Research Presentation Project (narrated) Due in Module 8Your
presentation slides must follow this outline:•Title Slide -This first slide must include the
presentation title, your full name, and the date.•Body Slide-The next slides will contain an
explanation and summary of both sides of the issue (keep each side separate and label
accordingly). Use your research to objectively (your opinion will come later) present the
facts and opinions of both sides fairly. In your slides, cite (current APA format) the research
you use, including citations. Your explanation and summaries should be in-depth, thus
taking up several slides. You can put information in the Notessection at the bottom of your
slide, but it will not show up in the submission. Relate any principles, concepts, or
information from your textbook into your presentation.•Reference Slide -This next slide
must list allsources (including research, graphs, images, etc.) in current APA format,
including the hanging indent. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-
hanging-indent-7bdfb86a-c714-41a8-ac7a-

%20hanging%20indent.•Opinion Slide -This next slide is defending your opinion.Explain
whyyou believe what you do. Use one of the moral theories to defend your position, such as
deontology (non-consequentialism), or utilitarianism (consequentialism). State this ethical
approach on the slide and explain why using this theory is the more reasonable approach to
guide right action (your position). Use the text or another professional source to support
your stance. Be sure to properly cite your sources accordingly (and include on
yourreference slide).•Conclusion and Discussion Questions Slide-Provide a summary of
your presentation and close your presentation with three discussion questions about the
topic. Think about these questions. Your questions must be ethically challenging and tough.
