British philosopher Stephen Toulmin adds six terms to the formulation of Aristotle's argument. The six terms are the claim, reasons, warrants, support, qualifications, and rebuttals. Toulmin argues that these six terms can be used to analyze arguments and can also be applied within any argument. Emanuel LL, CF von Gunten, and FD Farris are all authors of the “EPEC Participant's Handbook” and use all six of Toulmin's terms in this controversial article. The authors define the difference between medically assisted suicide and euthanasia. This source contains several points of view, written by various authors that contain information on both sides of the issue. They explain the specific factors why patients may seek assistance in their suicide. Their goal in the article is to explain to the doctor the specific steps and protocols needed when responding to patients' suicide requests or assisting in their suicide. The claim or thesis is what you are trying to prove and what the topic is about. There are three types of different statements, which are fact, value and policy. The statement of facts speaks of history or the future. Value claims, discussions of judgments, such as good or bad, wrong or right. The political statement argues about what should or should not have happened. This article is a value claim, because we are dealing with a right or wrong issue. The authors argue that physician-assisted suicide should be legalized. Data is the second component in Toulmin's argumentative model. Data includes evidence, facts, and often represents the reasons and logic that support the claim. There are many facts used in this article to support the claim for legalization of assisted living. The support behind the mandate is that the United States government agrees that the American people deserve to have the right to quality palliative care. The rebuttal or challenge addressed by the article is that depressed patients are more likely to seek care before death, even though they may not have life-threatening medical problems. The qualification in this article has precise limitations on what is similar and what is different regarding physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia.
