Dr. Sayer's Motivation To Help Patients

Improved Essays
Dr. Sayer was motivated to help the patients because he knew he could find a way to cure and fix all of these people’s lives, and get them back to enjoying the little things in life that everyone healthy takes for granted, for example; taking a walk in the park, or eating by themselves. Most of the doctors had given up on the patients, because they know they can never be cured or helped, which only boosted Dr.Sayer’s motivation. In my opinion, i think he also took interest in most of the patients, he wanted to see them back to their normal lives. In my opinion, i think that putting all of the patients on the drug was not ethical because Dr. Sayer did not fully test the drug on leonard (Robert de Niro's character) for the 90 day

    There is a controversial issue in regards to whether or not the actions of Dr. S. and Dr. V. violated Stark Law. The Stark Law is a federal statute which imposing doctors and physicians are not allowed to referrer their patients to facilities in which they have affiliations with. This law was implemented based on the case of Dr. S. and Dr. V., in which they leased a nuclear camera to refrain from sending their patients to another center. I do believe that the actions of Dr. S. and Dr. V. were a violation of the Stark Law. One of the first violations of Dr. S. and Dr. V. was the decision to lease their own camera without taking inconsideration the impact it would have on the outside parties.…

The initial book for the movie was written by Kenneth Kesey, who at the time was a medical guinea pig himself for psychoactive drug testing at the Menlo Park Veterans Hospital, CA. He used the opportunity to interview other patients that were under the influence of those drugs, as well.…

The film evolved around Eunice Evers, a nurse in a local Tuskegee hospital and her statement about the “Tuskegee study”. Dr. Brodus, the head doctor of the local Tuskegee hospital along with Nurse Evers were given fund to treat men with syphilis or what they called “bad blood” (Benedetti, Fishburne, Kavanagh, Konwiser & Sargent, 1997).

    They believed that because there was a good chance of saving Dax’s life, they should continue with treatment instead of “letting him die.” The doctors were making their decision based on virtue ethics. They were doing what they thought was morally right and thus that they were making the morally right decision. Virtue ethics focuses on whether or not one’s actions reflect their inner morality (Hursthouse, 2013). As stated prior, the doctors that were treating Dax could not bring themselves to “let him die” because that went against what they believed was morally right.…

    Forks over Knives is effective in using scare tactics to show the harmful effects that consuming meat and dairy products has on the body, but offers the opposition a very small opportunity to defend and support their own case.

    Medical science has only begun to become ethical. In early medical studies, scientists and doctors were able to perform, what we would call today, torturous experiments on people without permission or informed consent. Unfortunately without these hideous experiments or controversial studies, we would not have been able to cure or treat people with a deadly disease. The movie, Lorenzo’s Oil, displays the four ethical theories and highlights some of the ethical principles while lacking others. This movie shows that successful science does not always play by the rules.…
