I think that the keywords that I use for my search are related to my topic and sub topic. That is why when I conduct my research; I get result that’s close to my topic of physician-assisted suicide. Some of my source has keywords that are almost exactly like my sub topics. Using the opposing viewpoints data base, I searched “Hippocratic Oath”, “hospice care”, and “physician-assisted suicide legalization.”
Source 1: Title: Hippocratic Oath – the majority are academic journals written within the last five years. There are very few videos and news articles. The journals are stressing the importance of complying with work ethics, standards and policies when treating patients – Author – Bennet, Coleman and Co. Ltd
Source 2: Title: hospice care – there are more news articles than other sources; many are about palliative care talking about patients who are struggling with chronic conditions not about the euthanasia practices. I need to narrow my search – Author, Kumon.
Source 3: Title; physician-assisted suicide legalization – there are 2147 news articles about physician-assisted suicide, many written within the past three years. Most of the articles are talking about the importance of legalizing assisted suicide to end the pain of terminally ill patients rather than talking about the value of human life and the consequences of assisted suicide – Author – Bates College.
