Scenario 1: You are the healthcare administrator of a nursing home. You are informed by your Admissions Director that a new memory-impaired resident has been admitted into your long-term care unit. The staff is concerned about the involvement of family with your resident. Family members from out-of-town arrived and expressed concern about your resident’s do not resuscitate (DNR) orders which were authorized by the Power of Attorney of another family member. A quarrel erupts in the nursing home with family members voicing their opinions loudly. You arrive on the scene and are immediately told by the visiting family member, “Do you know who I am? I am a supervisor for the Department of Health and Human Services and will not hesitate to have your facility surveyed for noncompliance.” What do you do?

In the article, “Should Doctors Lie,” Joseph Collin expresses his argument backing his thesis up with deep detail. The article’s main topic is whether or not doctors should lie to their patients, and whether it is ethical. He agrees that the doctors should not be required to be truthful with their patients. In the article, Collins thesis state``s, “Should doctors tell patients the truth?  Where I, on the witness stand, am obligated to answer the question with “yes” or “no,” I should answer in the negative and appeal to the judge, or permission to qualify my answer.” (p. 211) His thesis basically says that he thinks patients should be lied to by doctors. I disagree with Collins when it comes to his argument. Lying shouldn’t be

Vaccines are among the most affordable and successful public health tools for preventing disease, disability, and sometimes death. Not only do they protect a vaccinated individual from developing a potentially deadly disease, but they also lead to protecting an entire community by reducing the spread of infectious agents. Although vaccines have many beneficial factors to it, there are still some problems in using them. Many vaccines may include side effects that can lead to autism or even death. Vaccinations have many benefits including the prevention of certain diseases but they also can cause issues and be very riskful in using them to treat or prevent a disease. Some of these issues include the ethic dilemma behind the subject.

Bioethics is a very diverse and subjective issue in Buddhism that bases its self around fundamental Buddhist laws such as the five precepts, the four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold path. Each Buddhist variant approaches bioethics differently based on the variants primary goal, ideals or practices. However all Buddhists views of bioethics are somewhat influenced by the universal goal of Buddhism to become liberated from the constant cycle of reincarnation or samsara. In conjecture with Buddhism, the occurrence of samsara allows for one to attain a new view on everything including bioethics allowing for the chance to discover or come to an ultimate realisation which in turn allows for the ultimate realisation of issues relating to

There is no reliable, high-quality evidence showing that vaccinating every health-care worker greatly reduces flu cases and deaths. In the absence of evidence based support, the influenza prevention has become an industry that health officials manipulate and misrepresent. Additionally, flu shot as an invasive medical treatment carries risks of injury and death, and is by far the most danger vaccination. Canadian Medical Law states that forcing a medical procedure on a person against their will violates the Informed Consent ethic, is fraudulent and constitutes a “battery” against that person[7] Therefore, those against forced flu vaccination strongly believe that it is their fundamental human right not to be subjected to medical interventions without fully informed consent when receiving invasive medical treatments (including vaccines). They state that the policy was an abuse of the privacy rights of health-care

At first glance, this case might appear to be ethically sound and the conduct of Dr. Fox was that of a normal Western doctor. However, upon further analysis a large number of issues arise. The debate over whether to inform

As technology advances and medical procedures and research expand, new treatments and new conflicts are created. A problem that has always plagued medical science is failing organs. As of today, organ failure is impossible to reverse and the only solution is replacement. There is a massive demand for healthy organs and with this demand comes the issue of bioethics.

Mark decided that he was face with a difficult issue when Annie's doctor told him that his wife with diagnosed with cancer and was not going to make it through her illness alive. He asked the doctor not to tell his wife, because she would have taken the news bad and I believe that he wanted her to live her life without worrying about being sick or worring about Mark. The news that his wife was devasting to him to take in but he thought it was right that he should carry the burden and news on his shoulders. Mark believe he was resposible for his wife and her vulnerabilities that were taken place in her life and health. "Bioethics addresses such difficult issues as the nature of life, the nature of death, what sort of life is worth living, what constitutes murder, how we should treat people who are especially vulnerable, and the responsibilities we have to other human beings" (Pozgar, 2013).

This edition consists of nine chapters divided into three parts, as well as an appendix of ten biomedical ethics cases. In Part I, chapter 1, entitled "Moral Norms," introduces the decision-making framework with attention to specifying and balancing principles and rules for moral deliberation and decision-making. Chapter 2, entitled "Moral Character," elaborates on moral virtues and ideals as an often-neglected area in biomedical ethics. In Part II, chapters 3 through 6 present the four basic groups of principles, and chapter 7, "Professional-Patient Relationships," examines the moral rules of veracity,

Ethics or care is based of the knowledge that relationships and the quality of relationships are key factors of human life. In the ethics of care, there is the person doing the caring and the person being cared for. In this relationship, there needs to be a balance of caring for oneself and caring for others, this is called the third level of ethics of care. In relation to the case study, being forced to get vaccines protects yourself and the people around you. Therefore it is caring for yourself and others and does achieve that balance. Yet, care of ethics is purely situational and exceptions do come up dependent on the person and situation. Therefore, getting the vaccinations, although it is caring for oneself and others, it might not be right for all situations. If a woman’s religious beliefs were against the use of vaccination, then she should not have to get it and be punished for not getting

Professionals in every field are always confronted with some kind of ethical issues. It has however been noted that these ethical issues become high in magnitude and extent when public officials are involved. Due to the involvement of human life, an industry like healthcare holds ethics in highest regard. Even though these healthcare practitioners are highly trained to deal with issues of these kinds, their decisions can sometimes have a lasting impact on their professional and personal lives (Edwards 2009).
