OPENING PARAGRAPH
Everyone has the right to life as per the Charter. In this Case, Waters is being denied the right to life
especially by being refused a lung transfer by the government. Because of his age, it is worth noting
that he is also being discriminated against. The act of discrimination is against the principles that the
Charter stands for, (Cromwell & Gelinas, 2018, 37).
Hook: All human beings are accorded equal rights as spelled by the Charter, despite age, religion, social
status or gender.
Thesis: Waters is entitled to a lung transplant and equal medical attention like others.
Directional statement. The right to life is enshrined in section 7. Equal protection and rights are also
covered in section 15 and lastly, discrimination on the basis of age is illegal.
