  • Physician Assisted Suicide Summary

    1953 Words  | 8 Pages

    Gill argues that keeping a person healthy cannot be a physician’s only moral duty because in cases of terminal ill patients, they can no longer be treated or healed (372). If a physician’s only duty were to heal patients then they would not tend to the terminally ill because there would be nothing else that they could do, which is something that most people would find to be morally wrong (Gill, 373). No one would be okay with a doctor not helping a person at all who has received a terminal sentence. So instead of promoting health in this case, the physicians must find a way to reduce the suffering of the patient. This means that the physician should be able to reduce the suffering in the way that the patient asks for.

  • Why Is The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks Ethically Wrong

    583 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks there were many actions/choices that are debatable in whether or not they were ethically wrong or right. One topic that stands out in the book is the fact that the doctors took Henrietta’s cells without “official” consent. Three reasons why I believe this was wrong is because they did not correctly inform Henrietta about her treatments, this exploited her and her family which was immoral and unjustified, and because a bigger, long term problem was made. I stand by my argument because I felt it was wrong how a couple of doctors took cells and caused unnecessary problems for the Lacks family. I have sympathy toward the family because one fault that one person did should not have made these people this stressed, angry, and upset.

    The ethical principle of autonomy provides for respect for the patient’s autonomy to make decisions and choices concerning their life and death. Respecting the patient’s autonomy goes against the principles of beneficence and non-maleficence. There also exists the issue of religious beliefs the patient, family, or the caretaker holds, with which the caretaker has to grapple. The caretaker thus faces issues of fidelity to patient welfare by not abandoning the patient or their family, compassionate provision of pain relief methods, and the moral precept to neither hasten death nor prolong life.

Instead of giving the participants the penicillin, the doctors and nurses continued with the original ‘treatment’ even though they knew it would not cure the participants’
