Ethical Considerations in Embryonic Stem Cell Research
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page position paper arguing against embryonic stem cell research and in favor of using adult stem cells for the same purpose. Philosophers can argue the moral and ethical position of harvesting embryonic cells forever, “proving” either positive or negative positions at will without arriving at any solution. If patients are indeed suffering needlessly because of the lack of stem cell research, it is the research community that is responsible. Adult stem cells are readily available, behave in the same manner and carry no ethical or moral consequences at all. Rather than argue against government policy, researchers need to be turning their attention to other possibilities, thereby following the path of research development that has been in use for more than a century and thusfar has produced every advance that we now enjoy. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ethical Dilemma Concerning Do Not Resuscitate Orders
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. A terminally ill patient scheduled to have palliative surgery is refused by her doctor unless she reverses the Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order she put in place to address her incurable disease. The reason why her physician required his patient to change her DNR to full code while in the operating room is unclear; perhaps he did not want to have the responsibility of her potential death looming over his head without a way in which to medically address the situation. Maybe he was not fully aware of the extent to which her terminal illness necessitated such a drastic order as the DNR. Regardless of his inability or downright refusal to accept the patient's wishes, he was committing a rather serious breach of ethics where his medical practitioner's behavior is concerned. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ethical Issues in Managed Care Research
[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page paper provides an overview of the reasons behind the rise of the HMO and the dilemmas surrounding alternatives. The problem that the paper addresses is that most research is centered on those of white European heritage, a problem perpetuated by researchers’ use of large databases that in themselves exclude many from other population groups. Researchers pursue knowledge with admirable intentions, and they devote much effort to ensuring that they arrive at a research design free of bias of several types. Many fail to understand that they begin with bias, however, and that their entire effort is undertaken under the banner of researcher bias that translates to biased results. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
