P4C Abortion and Euthanasia

An introduction to the moral issues of abortion and euthanasia for KS3 based around the concept of P4C (philosophy for children) with a very learner centered approach. This works excellently as a 'no-pen lesson' to support literacy. Students are asked to respond to questions such as; what is the value of human life? who has the right to decide between life or death? what might be arguments for and against abortion and euthanasia? I find this works best with the use of contribution tokens (maths counters work very well) where each student is given a set number of tokens at the start of the lesson and has to pay a token for each contribution.
