Example of annotated bibliography entry:Angell, Marcia. The Supreme Court and Physician-Assisted SuicideThe Ultimate Right.Dialogues: An Argument Rhetoric and Reader. 3rd edition. Eds. Gary Goshgarian, KathleenKrueger, and Janet Barnett Minc. New York: Longmam, 2000. 500-07. Print.Marcia Angell, a pathologist and medical ethicist, discusses the legal and ethical issues surrounding Physician Assisted Suicide (PAS). Arguing that patients should have autonomy, Angell covers all of the standard claims in favor of PAS from a medical and legal perspective. She acknowledges Kevorkian from an informational perspective without discussing his situation in depth and without taking sides in his case. Angell is clearly in favor of PAS. Drawing from court decisions and professional journal articles; she uses a point-by-point format with herself as expert. The unusual feature in this article is Angells personal testimony of her fathers suicide following a terminal illness. This is a solid professional article from a credible proponent of PAS. This essay is useful in that it explores each side of the issues surrounding PAS and will offer a lot of background for my paper.
