Do not resuscitate

These responsibilities all center about the idea of caring for those outside of an organization in order to create a healthy ethical climate. Looking specifically at the ethical responsibilities an organization has, the organization has an obligation to do what is “’right, fair, and just’” no matter the situation (Johnson 339). In the case of Glenwood Gardens, they were ethical obligated to take care of their patrons, who had been trusted under their care. Colleen shared these obligations and…

Loyalty Leads to Total Annihilation The word loyal is defined as being “faithful to any lender, party, or cause, or to any person or thing conceived as deserving fidelity” and often has a positive connotation supporting it. Nonetheless, the novel Of Mice and Men depicts the quality quite negatively through its two main characters. George Milton and Lennie Small, who have a tremendously strong father son relationship, constantly travel from place to place in order to keep the latter safe, as…

commit crimes. We've all heard of websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Ebay, and possibly the most talked about for being so dangerous, Craigslist. These are websites where people can interact with one another, but sometimes it may just so happen that you do not know who you're truly talking to. What or who is hiding behind a computer screen on the other side may just be your worst nightmare. Philip Markoff, an aspiring medical student was dubbed the Craigslist killer in 2009 for committing…

The film cuts to the Marianas Trench on the South Pacific, shows another dark cloud with lightning approaching. A vessel appears stranded in the middle of the waters. There is also a helicopter on the right side of the screen, which is headed for the vessel. We learn that this is where they will drill down into the Earth’s core to restart its rotation. Keyes and his crew are ready for the mission into the Earth’s core as it begins to rain rather heavily as a part of the storm. They understand…

persuaded Candy to kill his pet to keep it and the roommates out of misery. This dog symbolizes individuals sparing the lives of the things and the people they love to save them from pain and suffering. In “Of Mice and Men” Candy argued “No… No, I couldn’t do that. I had ‘im too long,”. (Steinbeck) It is typical for a pet owner or friend to not want to go through the process of Euthanasia because their personal relationship will eventually come to an end. Although grieving is ordinary for anyone…

End of life care dilemma: a case study Nurses encounter various decision-making in daily practice, these decisions are intricately linked to patients’ and family members’ values or beliefs that coupled with emotional burdens in end-of-life care (Quinn et al. 2012; Gallagher et al. 2015). Legal and ethical issues often arise when the patient is incompetent as well as when the surrogate decision maker is unclear (Torke, Alexander & Lantos 2008). In this case, Lewis, who was admitted to the…

potassium imbalance (possibly caused from the bulimia). During the cardiac arrest, Terri’s brain was deprived of oxygen for a significant amount of time, leaving her in a coma throughout her hospitalization. She was eventually discharged home, but do to her high level of needs she was admitted to multiple rehabilitation and skilled nursing facilities. Although Terri woke from the coma, she never regained full consciousness, leaving her in what is referred to as a “persistent vegetative…

If one were to take the concept of democracy, lay it down on an operating table, cut it open and look around inside, I do not believe any one part would be significantly larger than the other. A grotesque image perhaps, but a most fitting one. Democracy is dying, and it is about time we, as a society, analyze its inner parts and remove what has been slowly killing it ever since its birth. Much like Charles Mills’ criticism of racial liberalism, this is not meant to be an attack on the…

Since most of the human body is made of water and by lowering the body below the freezing point of water will result in massive ice formation. Cryonic facilities can’t simply put patients into a vat of liquid nitrogen because their cells would freeze and simply shatter. Because of this reason, patients are protected from ice damage by using a mixture or agent (sort of a human antifreeze) to reduce, or even eliminate, ice formation. Conventional bypass technologies are used to circulate the…

In Yeon Sang-ho’s Train to Busan is the most purely entertaining zombie film, finding echoes of George Romero’s and Danny Boyle’s work, but delivering something unique for an era in which kindness to others seems more essential than ever. The titular mass transport vehicle serves as an apt and very literary setting for an exhilarating morality tale that pits humanity’s fragile virtues and delicate principles with a ferocious catastrophe. For decades, movies about the undead have essentially been…
