Conequential Ethical Theory According To Pozgar: Consequential Ethics Theory

196 Words1 Page

One of the theories I have noticed during the discussion was Consequential ethics theory. According to Pozgar (2013) "Consequential ethical theory revolves around the premise that the rightness or wrongness of an action depends on the consequences or effects of an action" (p. 7). During the discussion, two goals were clearly in conflict- the goal to repopulate the earth and the goal to determine who should get the chance to stay at the station to return to the earth. Pozgar (2013) also states " The goal of consequentiality is to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number" (p. 7). In healthcare ethics committee, this can have its own negative consequences as it undermines individual's right to autonomy. So ethics committee should also

    In Summer 2003, a small family living in the United Kingdom gave birth to a beautiful little boy named Jamie Whitaker. However, Jamie’s birth wasn’t like that of a normal child; he was born specifically to help save his four-year-old brother Charlie’s life. Charlie suffered from Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA), a disease that affects 700 people a year and is treated with excruciatingly painful, daily injections and subsequently, many days spent in the hospital. Jamie was one of the very first babies born through Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) with Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA), a process referred to as creating a “Savior Sibling.” Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis is when parents use In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) to chose embryos that

In my courses at Ashford, I learned a great deal about ethics in the SOC 120: Introduction to Ethics and Social Responsibility course. From the academic knowledge I’ve gained through this course, I am able to apply the four ethical principles, autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice, as guidelines when faced with clinical decisions working in the medical field. In SOC 120, I was able to learn and research how ethics applies to healthcare, health professionals, and hospitals, which is essential for my career in health informatics, and as a pharmacy

  • Survival Lottery Research Paper

    681 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Survival Lottery The idea of the “survival lottery” helps maximize the amount of lives that can be saved by doctors. It allows doctors to receive organ donations from healthy people, who are randomly selected to die and donate their organs to medicine, rather than having no choice but to let the innocent patient(s) die due to a lack of readily available organs. The point of the survival lottery is to make sure that as few humans die as possible, hence why it is acceptable to kill one person to possibly save two (or even more). I will argue that is not morally permissible to institute a survival lottery because all people expose themselves to different amounts of risks during their respective lives.

    One of those most challenging areas I have experience during my current placement is ethical decision-making. We studied many possible scenarios during our Values, Ethics and Professional Issues class, and discussed the various types of decision-making models to help guide us when having to make difficult decisions. While the class was invaluable, because it helped me identify my own biases, and also shed light on how I have made decisions in the past and how I can possibly make decisions in the future, I knew that having to make real-life decisions would not be so cut and dry. This placement has been challenging for me, because my ongoing assignment with one of my supervisors requires constant ethical decision-making, sometimes even in the

Being internationally connected is, by will or by force, an aspect that has profoundly changed the societies at a degree that is obviously different from a country to another. Yet, we can talk to more people than all our ancestors reunited did thanks to tools like social networks or telecommunication technology.
