The Ashley case was about a medical procedure done that went over the line of biological ethicality for many. The scenario has a plethora of factors to consider when questioning its ethicality. Even with all of the facts, both options have negative results It was a highly debated decision made by two parents that was sure to set precedent for future medical practices.

Some say “ it is her body, and she has the right to do as she pleases; and some say absolutely not”.

“The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), as part of the criminal justice system and respecting the rule of law, contributes to public safety by actively encouraging and assisting offenders to become law-abiding citizens, while exercising reasonable, safe, secure and humane control (CSC Values Statement, 2016). In regards to the CSC values mission statement, in this general case, they did not fully succeed in what their value missions statement had said. Often in this Ashley Smith case it will always refer back to CSC’s values mission statement to see if CSC actually followed through with what their expectations were in the Justice System and how they could of handled Ashley Smith in more of a humane approach. This case within the Justice

She was not aware of that consequence and would not have proceeded with the treatment had she had known. Another ethical issue that was brought to my attention was the detail that the sample of Henrietta’s tumor was unknowingly taken and sent to a lab. The two ethical issues contradict with informed consent standards. For informed consent to be valid it must be, knowingly, voluntarily and competently give. In the first issue, it was standard at Hopkins for individuals to be told about fertilely loss, but that was not the case for Henrietta.
When this is used, one must provide a claim for their statement, support it, and then present a warrant, “the warrant is a kind of inference or assumptions which establishes the connection or relevancy between the support part and the claim part” (Argumentation para. 9). His claim here would be that the Ashley treatment should be allowed to be performed on patients because, “there seem to be no grounds for holding the opinion that the treatment was not in Ashley’s best interests,” and in fact it has, “enabled [many] children to live happier lives” (Singer 23). If an operation is allowing a child to live a better life than they normally would not be able to, then Singer is on their side and wants them to be able to live comfortably. His support is the effect it has on their families and how it allows them to, “lift and move them, so that they can care for them at home” (Singer 23). When looking at the positives and negatives of this procedure, he displays how this treatment greatly assists families and it is not being used in cases other than these.

As advances in the technology of medicine progress medical personnel are able to treat and prolong the lives of many persons with terminal illnesses.

The case of Terri Schiavo brought one such ethical dilemma to the forefront of public debate. Terri Schiavo was a Florida woman, in a vegetative state, whose family lay divided in and out of the courtroom fighting for her rights.
Forging Far-fetched Links out of Tragedy “Italian police open murder inquiry into death of American woman” introduces readers to news of the latest appalling crime, the murder of Ashley Ann Olsen, an American artist who was killed in her Italian home. This particular presentation of a case has been complicated and confused by the drawing of bold connections between this unfortunate crime and a very well-known one from years past, the murder of Meredith Kercher. The take-away from reading this news story is beyond just knowledge of the basic information of Ashley Ann Olsen’s homicide. It resurrects the dramatic tale of Kercher’s murder and its botched aftermath and creates ties that will call upon the public’s attention to its horror once again.
Alexa Kersting was a young fourteen-year-old girl from West Fargo waiting for a life-changing lung transplant. Kersting was diagnosed with lung disease by the age of seven, and developed pulmonary hypertension-- high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart-- by the age of twelve (“Pulmonary Hypertension”). Once she was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension, she was placed on the transplant waiting list, and for the upcoming months Alexa was on that list, she was on oxygen twenty-four hours a day. Unfortunately, she could never do any of the things other “normal” children could do due to her illnesses and treatments, meaning her hobbies had to be less strenuous, such as piano and art. Thankfully,
Nicole’s Murder According to Simpson & Haven, the murder of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman was a shock to the nation, but what was more appalling is the fact that O.J.

I will also examine stalking and intimate violence, victim rights as well as protection provided by the regulation and how it pertains to the case of Nicole Simpson.
