Early in their marriage, Cindy and her husband struggled with infertility. After five years of marriage, they still had not been able to conceive so they began to investigate whether Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) was the right decision for them. Some of their struggles with ART were whether it was right to use science and medicine to assist them with getting pregnant? If so, how far were they willing to go? How much of their available resources were they willing to use to achieve their goal? As you can imagine they encountered a wide range of opinions from people about what was right or acceptable in this situation. From don’t play God and let nature take its course to those who believe they should use science and medicine and do whatever is necessary to get what they …show more content…

They also decided how much of their financial resources they would use and then leave the rest up to God. One of the determining factors in their decision is the belief that even though ART was not part of God’s original plan for how couples are to become pregnant, they also believe that God created the mind of the person that developed the technology to assist couples with conceiving a child.

  • The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks By Rebecca Skloot

    1459 Words  | 6 Pages

    Patient care is based around the individual- their best interest, treatment, and health concerns. Research is based around furthering knowledge within the medical world, by testing on people, and improving lives for future patients. In Henrietta’s case, she went to John Hopkins with the plan of being treated as a patient only, and was used for research, without education or consent. Making only a small effort to relieve her pain through radiation treatment, the physicians removed cells from Henrietta’s cervix to use in later studies. There is another line blurred, as Spigner, a University of Washington professor makes a point, stating, “The life and death of Henrietta Lacks is a cautionary tale that reflects the inherent contradiction between the stated purpose of medical research to provide benefit to humankind and the reality of blatant profiteering in the name of the advancement of science” (12).

  • Writing Response Community Through Contract Grading By Sarah Klotz And Kristina Reardon

    1373 Words  | 6 Pages

    It has been viewed from a holistic assessment point of view that emphasizes the evaluation of students' labor and processes. Grading contracts are utilized in the holistically assessing of work, assigning grades, outlining requirements to make certain grades, and in the enhancement of student motivation to undertake personal responsibilities for their assigned tasks while at the same time fostering democratic social engagement in the classroom. Students are included in curriculum development as well as assessment practices. According to Klotz and Reardon, contract grading is a form of assessment that draws away the concept of teachers as determinants of qualities of student writing and shifts the focus to the reward of student labor and promotion of student engagement in the writing process. In their article, grading agreements may favor neurotypical, normative students if they fail to recognize that one's ability to work does not always match their willingness to do so due to factors such as disability, class, and alternative personified and social orientation that converge with racial formation (Klotz and Reardon 109).
