To prepare for the discussion this week, review An Overview of
the Medical Examiner/Coroner Systems in the United States –
Development, Current Status, Issues, and Needs (Links to an
external site.) Links to an external site. , a presentation from
the National Academies Forensic Science Needs Committee, to get an
overview of the medical examiner/coroner systems in the United
States. Next, listen to Coroners Don’t Need Degrees to Determine
Death (Links to an external site.) Links to an external site.
, an audio podcast to learn about problems in the autopsy field.
Finally, watch All About Forensic Science (Links to an
external site.) Links to an external site. , a video that explains
how forensic science is used to solve crimes. Now, participate in
the following discussion: Prior to beginning this discussion,
review the required readings for this week, and, using a minimum of
three scholarly sources from the Ashford University Library or
another scholarly source of information, compare and contrast the
pros and cons of required professional qualifications for all
medical examiners, regardless of where they work. Should a person
who conducts an autopsy be required to be medically trained, have
pathology training and/or certification, or should each
jurisdiction be allowed to determine its own criteria? The
discussion should include an assessment of the implications for
forensic evidence collection and evidentiary admissibility at
trial. Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words in
length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s)
and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references
using APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Discussion Forum: Counterarguments (Should pit bull terriers be banned in my community) You created a question about the topic for your W6 Rough Draft. For this discussion, you will give an answer to that question in the form of a thesis statement. "Dieting Makes People Fat" Main Post: Share your thesis statement with your classmates. Please note: As with last week’s discussion, nothing here is set in stone. Be open to changing everything about your topic, including your position and audience, as you research it and get feedback from your classmates. Topic + Position/Purpose + Supporting Points =Thesis Statement Example: Suppose the question you posed in the Week 5 discussion was something like, “Should pit bull terriers be banned in my community?” After doing some preliminary research, you have concluded that pit bulls, if raised properly, are no more dangerous than other breeds of dogs. Your thesis statement can be something like, “Pitbulls should not be banned
