    Well, I thought the first paper B603 was perfect

    However, I can't say the same about Paper 2
    For what I can remember these were the questions:

    Religion and Medical Ethics:

    a) Define the term 'suicide'.
    b) Give two reason why Christians might be against suicide.
    c) Describe one Christian belief against abortion.
    d) Explain why Christians might have different attitudes towards euthanasia.
    e) "Using animals for medical research is always wrong"

    Religion, Poverty and Wealth:

    a) What is an 'immoral occupation'?
    b) Give two moral occupations.
    c) Describe one Christian view about wealth. (HELP! Not sure!)
    d) Explain what Christians might believe about how money can be misused.
    e) "Religious people cannot be wealthy"

    Religion, peace and justice:

    a) Define the term "Just War".
    b) Give two examples of social injustice.
    c) Describe Christian beliefs about pacifism.
    d) Explain why Christians might work towards social justice.
    e) "Capital punishment is always wrong"

    Religion and Equality:

    a) Define the term 'prejudice'.
    b) Give two examples of racism.
    c) Give three ways a Christian might respond to inequality.
    d) Explain why Christians might have different opinions on the role of women.
    e) "Religious people have a duty to convert others"

    What two reasons did you write for suicide? I think I wrote that its murder and that it goes against the sanctity of life, would that be right?

    for the question 'how can a Christian help to solve inequality?' I put;

    They can donate money to charitable organisations. They can volunteer their time and effort to help others. They can partake in peaceful protest against elitist governments or organisations, or corrupt regimes.
