Write a formal essay explaining the role of the Islamic world and South Asia in this event–specifically, their role in Columbus’ quest to reach China.
Answer the following question: Why did Columbus sail west trying to reach the “Khan” of China, to enlist his help to provide the Spanish crown with gold to fund a Crusade to conquer Jerusalem? Write a formal essay explaining the role of the Islamic world and South Asia in this event–specifically, their role in Columbus’ quest to reach China. Your goal in this paper is to explain the relevance of the Islamic world and South Asia to as many different details of the event as possible: the technology and science necessary for Columbus’s voyage, the political history of Spain, the political history of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, the way information about China reached Columbus, the general connectedness of the world, and Spain’s rivalry with Portugal, and perhaps other aspects as well. For each claim that you make, you must identify sources of evidence. Your evidence must include at least 3 primary sources, which can be texts or other artifacts (buildings, objects, &c.). Two hints for completing option 2 successfully: 1) Interaction between Christian Europe and the Islamic world is a big part of the context in which Columbus sailed. This includes both hostile interaction (the Arab and Ottoman conquests, the Crusades) and cooperative interaction (spread of information, technology, trade). If you discuss only one of these, you are missing a big part of the picture. 2) Marco Polo’s book (called Description of the World) was important–we actually still have Columbus’ copy with his notes!–but it was also a widely mistrusted book and not the only way information about China reached him. Also, Marco Polo himself depended on infrastructure and trade networks created by all the many societies and states between China and Europe.

Discuss any similarities or differences between the cases you select from an ethical perspective.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) raises complex bioethical issues because, among other reasons, it is done in conjunction with IVF, there are potential risks, the possibility of error exists, and the procedure can result in one or more embryos being selected for implantation and others being rejected. Both the Case Studies in Biomedical Ethics text (Cases 11-1, 11-2, 11-5) and the Bioethics: Principles, Issues and Cases text (The Kingsburys, p. 555, Cases for Evaluation 1, 2 and 3, pp. 557-559) include several cases involving the use of PGD.Provide any background material about PGD that you find to be informative and interesting (this portion of the paper should be no more than 2-3 pages). Second, select two or three of the cases involving PGD from the texts and/or from outside sources. For each case, answer items (1) and (6) and at least two of the remaining items: 1. briefly describe the facts in the case; 2. discuss the ethical principles, issues, and/or conflicts that are presented in the case; 3. identify any value judgments that are included in the description of the case; 4. evaluate any ethical options or alternatives that are presented, or which may exist; 5. provide your thoughts/recommendations on how the situation should be (or was) resolved; and 6. discuss any similarities or differences between the cases you select from an ethical perspective.
