    The most ethical controversy that differs from the 1950’s to today is about the Henrietta’s story is if it was right for them to take her cells. Individuals believe that most scientists solely cared about the beneficial advantages that would come from Henrietta’s cells, but never thought about where they came from, whether she had given consent, or whether her family might care about that. Today, society is sympathetic for Henrietta’s family as no one told or asked permission from her family to take her cells, no one explained anything to them, and they weren’t told her medical records were going to be released. No one told her family that the cells existed until 1973, when scientists wanted to do research on her children to learn more about…

    The Servant by James C. Hunter provides a foundation and an understanding of true leadership. Through the lives of John Daily and five other struggling leaders on a retreat, Hunter uses Brother Simeon to explain the principles of servant leadership, which causes John and the others to reflect deeply on their character, trust, and commitment. Creating and deepening the principles described by Brother Simeon will enhance one’s leadership perspective and will prove to be beneficial for a school principal. “Leadership is the skill of influencing people to work enthusiastically toward goals identified as being for the common good” (Hunter, 2012, p 28).

    Leaders have to make ethical decisions based on the resources that they have available. If the leader is still uncomfortable with the decision they have made, the leader should ask their colleagues and use their collective knowledge and experience to make a more considered decision. (Swinton, 2007, p. 1) There are times when a leader must listen to their instincts to come up with a decision. Once the decision has been made the leader must stand behind that decision even if it isn’t the right one and accept responsibility for it being inadequate. When making a decision a leader must take those choices seriously.…

To me this is an exercise in futility. It is just the same as keep reminding the wheel is still round and passing resolution after resolution in the Texas Legislator is trying to reinvent the wheel.

When you see someone getting injured in an accident the moral action is to dial 911, when you see someone choking the instinctual moral action is to give them the Heimlich, when you see someone having a heart attach the moral action is to begin CPR. So when Colleen, an employee of Glenwood Gardens, a assisted living community, refused to administer CPR on a dying 87-year-old, many people were left in shock of the heartless action that Colleen participated in (Johnson 359). Lorraine Bayless was an 87-year-old resident at Glenwood Gardens who suddenly collapsed in the dining room, promptly an employee called 911. This employee then handed the phone off to a nurse who identified…
