The concept of dysfunction refers to closed communication (Bitter, 2014). Function is described by open communication that leads to health interactions and behaviors (Bitter, 2014). For example in the case of Janssens family, the mother was struggling to gain power and control over her current family dynamics (Rober, 2011).

It shouldn’t…

This right to life is the basis for a person life having value as opposed to life years. When comparing the value of people’s lives in the case of 8 patients, the 7 who might live for a year could only be rejected treatment if their life has zero value. Since their lives do have value it must…
