Write a Backgrounder Paper for a case (provided in the attached file) relating to issues in Social Ethics. 

What is a backgrounder paper?

A good group case study is supported by appropriate evidence, based upon research into the context of the ethical problem that is presented. While everyone in the group will be responsible for researching some aspect of the case and/or its resolution, the backgrounder papers for the case study provide a more in-depth look at some of the background information the group needs to reach (and support) its conclusions. This does NOT mean trying to solve the case, or prejudicing the group toward one outcome or another, but instead giving everyone access to some necessary and common background information, properly cited. 

The backgrounder paper is supposed to provide your group with some solid, well-researched (and annotated!) sources as a foundation for your discussion about the case. It is NOT supposed to offer opinions, direction, or otherwise attempt to sway the group in a particular direction.

The better the backgrounder, the less extra research the rest of the group may need to do to support your case study conclusions. 

Further, this is supposed to be a paper — so not just a collection of facts and annotations - but it is supposed to drill down on some specific aspect of the case and provide solid academic research (not Google scans!) that supports the data. It is NOT supposed to survey the landscape of the whole case— too wide, too shallow, and risks trying to resolve the case!
