Case Study On Megs Surgery

686 Words3 Pages

I have been a doctor for twenty five years and all my surgeries have been successes. I started reviewing this case a few weeks ago and have put a lot of thought into this case. I believe that we should operate on Irene. This will save her life and you will have two daughters instead of one. What if both Meg and Irene die in the surgery? You won’t have either of your daughters. What If Irene’s body rejects Megs kidney? I just put your daughter into unnecessary surgery. I will be going against Megs wishes if you go through with this operation. I am going to save your daughters life with this surgery and it’s a minor surgery. Meg and Irene might have minimal complications after the surgery. This would save Meg from regret also. I am choosing to operate because it will put Meg into deeper depression if there is no operation. She will regret not helping her sister when she had the chance. You also won't have to go through the heart ache of losing a daughter. Meg and Irene might get along better, because of Irene knowing that her sister gave a kidney to save her life. The worst that would happen is both of them missing school for a week or two. …show more content…

I know this is going against Megs wishes but it will be saving a life and that is my job. You could go through the rest of your life knowing that you have two daughters instead of one. At the end of this Meg will be glad that she saved her sisters life. Irene will be grateful for the rest of her life if you do this surgery. This will be the last surgery that Irene will have. She won’t have to go through anymore surgeries and could live a normal life. I’ve done these kinds of surgeries thousands of times and every time has been a success and I hope to keep that the same with this

  • Who Will Save Behavior Sibling Analysis

    566 Words  | 3 Pages

    Maura Dickey is persuading all parents of ill children in her non-fiction article, “Who Will Save the Savior Sibling?”, that savior siblings do not have a voice due to their parents speaking for them because the pursuit of materialistic things has turned them greedy and can rapidly spiral out of control. Children should not be treated as if they are disposable and only needed for parts. Everyone deserves a choice with what is happening to their body and Maura further expands on this by saying “This leaves the savior siblings who don’t want to provide a live-organ donation helpless”(4). This is crucial when realizing that everyone has a right to choose. Dickey’s thought process is ethical because if this is simply overlooked it has the potential to release carnage on the building blocks that we as a society have clawed and fought to

    The doctor has the medication to cure the disease except that the patient is an organ donor match for five other patients. The doctor chooses to let the patient die in order to use the organs of that patient to potentially cure the other five. This is an example of the Doctrine of Double Effect due to the doctor making a decision to allow the first patient to die in order to potentially save the other five. In the doctor’s mind, potentially saving five people is more necessary than surely saving the one patient. It is somewhat similar to playing a game where odds come into
