In this certain situation, we need to calculate all of our possible outcomes. I would break down the 50,000 individuals into age and into sex. It is not rational to administer the cure to people of older ages. It would be more rational to provide the cure to young children and young adolescences. Also, I do believe it is morally correct to provide the cure to women instead of men; however, we must calculate our consequences if we do so. We would need to administer the cure to equal amounts of men and women in case if they have to reproduce. In essence, I would first give the cure to young children, then women,

    Do you think we can sacrifice few persons to make others happier? I don’t think so. Many people might say yes to this question because no one thinks that you or your family will be the few persons to be sacrificed and logically, help thousands of people by sacrificing few people might sound nice for human beings. However, scientists may make poor decisions because of their passion for discovery and we cannot forget about the respect for fundamental human rights. In the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks written by Rebecca Skloot, she writes about experiments back in the mid-twentieth century when she says, “They recruited hundreds of African-American men with syphilis, then watched them die slow, painful, and preventable deaths, even…

    According to hedonism, a life is good to the extent that it is filled with happiness (pleasure) and bad to the extent it is filled with unhappiness (pain). It is important to note that hedonists are not referring to physical pleasure as the key to the good life, rather, they are referring to it as enjoyment (attitudinal pleasure). Another way to interpret this is by saying that a good life is having many pleasurable experiences and nothing else. A hedonist might say that if you enjoy doing something, then doing so is pleasurable, so your life is good. Well, according to Robert Nozick, a very famous philosopher, a good life is not just about having a good time, it’s about having a true time.…

    This paper seeks to determine whether it is morally sound to exclude alcoholics from the transplant waiting list or if alcoholics should be placed in a lower slot on the list. One side argues that alcoholics should get equal access to new livers and that all should be placed on the waiting list regardless of the reason that they are in need of a new liver. The other side believes in what is known as maximum benefit, or the idea that alcoholics should not be excluded from the list, but should be placed behind many others, resulting in a very small chance of receiving a new liver. In their paper “Should Alcoholics Compete Equally for Liver Transplantation”, Alvin H. Moss and Mark Siegler seek to determine just this. Moss and Siegler argue the second view, maximum benefit, and say that alcoholics should be placed at the bottom of the transplant waiting list.…

    Throughout mankind’s history, men have tried many different ways to fight off the things that have hindered progress or taken lives. This is especially true with disease, which is very much still being researched. However, in more recent times, we have created a system of morals necessary in providing physical health care to patients, and this has revealed some problems with how certain treatments are done. A prime example of a treatment/series of treatments that was not within this moral code was the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, which violated several of these moral statutes. In this paper, we will see what the study was and the implications it has on today’s society.…

    This is the model that is most often taken into consideration when deciding which patient will receive an organ transplant. A team will decide which patient(s) are closest to death and who will potentially have the best clinical outcome. Clinical outcome may be measured in who will have the better quality of life and how many years the said organ will likely prolong the life of the patient. In less critical aspects of healthcare, the idea is to provide the treatment that will have the greatest treatment to the greatest number of people, or what will ultimately benefit the group as a whole (Doyle,…

Gene therapy is still a moral debate to this day, some people beg the question if it’s okay to use gene therapy or what would it do to the human body which are all great questions. The discussion will be on whether the “Bubble Boy” gene therapy experiment was ethical or not and if the treatment was worth the risk. Basically the “Bubble Boy” experiment was on children suffering from the bubble boy disease which is a severe combined immunodeficiency that can possibly lead to death (Vaughn, 260).

    Pleasure can often times be the driving motive for the actions of an individual seeking a good, successful experience of life. Though it is not always as simple as making the choice that will bring you immediate joy; one must weigh out the different choices that they make and how these choices affect their paths towards their future. Sometimes, this can mean giving up one pleasure for another that you may find more rewarding and meaningful to you. Making these difficult decisions can torture and consume the mind of an individual, but repressing these feelings is necessary to gain fulfillment—pain for pleasure. In The Remains of the Day, by Kazuo Ishiguro, an English butler, Mr. Stevens, faces the difficult choice of pursuing the one he loves,…

    Therefore, saving multiple people with the organs of one person is the most ethical decision, since we save the most possible amount of people. He would argue that since we can use about twenty-five organs for transplant from each person that we would kill to save people, it is right to do. By extrapolation, eventually restoring twenty-five people to full health will outweigh the consequences of killing one person, despite what that one person’s life is worth overall. Most would agree that two hundred and fifty lives are more valuable than ten lives, despite whoever those ten are. This is not necessarily to say that each of those lives are equal in value; however it is very hard to argue against the fact that it is mathematically likely for two hundred and fifty people to have a greater impact on the earth than ten people, even if those ten people’s lives are worth more individually than the lives of the two hundred and…
