Yolanda Case Study

Decent Essays
Yolanda, I agree but I do believe that the family holds some type of responsibility. They knew that her condition would be worse in some way because even in her obitchary its stated she was upset about having Alzheimer's that means the family had to know something about this disease taking some form of tole on the victim. For example, as a student we might not all know the specific ends and outs of Alzheimer's but we know what results follow with it and it's something that has been uncerable but there have been efforts made towards finding a solution. So I definitely hold her family to a high standard and wonder what were they

    As we age we start to worry about our family, specifically our parents. Who is going to take care of them, are they going to be able to stay at home, how much assistance are they going to need, is my sibling going to step in and help or am I going to be caring for them by myself? All of these questions can be overwhelming and cannot be answered until they actually happen. As we saw in Angels Preach a lot goes into caregiving and decision making for what is best for are loved one. I thought this movie did a really good job about dismissing the stereotypes to caregiving, but it also show how Alzheimer’s can affect everyone in the family, and how moving elders with Alzheimer’s out of their homes is not the best option.…

    A person’s autonomy is a privilege that is earned through the knowledge gained through life experiences. For children, the right to decide is withdrawn because the parent’s are thought to know what is best in the circumstances concerning their children. The ability to understand and comprehend the severity of illness or the consequences of decisions is lacking in adolescents. They are deemed incapable of making informed decisions thus incompetent; therefore, the parents are given the authority to provide or deny consent on behalf of their children. Similarly, elderly who are experiencing deteriorating illnesses may have an altered competence due to being in denial or having fear of the outcome.…

    The principle of autonomy would oppose Dr. Rest decision to keep her patients in the dark about an illness. In concluding that the patients should not be informed that they are at risk of developing Alzheimer would take away their right to be self-determining. In not informing them Dr. Rest hinders a humans’ unique qualification to decide what is in their best interest. She predicts that informing the patients that they could suffer from Alzheimer would “cause them distress and unhappiness”. Hence she is choosing for her patients what she believes is right and in the process lessening their position as a person.…

    This situation could have never existed as a growing ethical issue if Gey had told the family from the beginning and included them in the growing wealth profits from the He-La cells. It is unknown as to why he chose to not tell the family. Many factors could have contributed to this such as the segregation of the hospital in which she was treated or the culture of the times. One ethical principle that also is found to be violated in this case is beneficence, or the duty to do good (Ethical principles in health care, 2016). It is easy to see how the researcher, Gey, did not do good by not informing and including Lacks or the family.…
