Medical prescription

legal document that states an individual’s end-of-life preferences when situations arise where they are unable to make medical decisions on their own due to a lack of capacity, terminal illness, or permanent disability (Karnik & Kanekar, 2016). Patients with advanced directives can appoint a family member or healthcare provider to act as a surrogate allowing them to make medical decisions that need to be made throughout a prognosis (Karnik & Kanekar, 2016). Ethical dilemmas that occur with…

Medical arguments against assisted dying include the possibility of misdiagnosis, the potential availability of new treatments, and conflict with the physician’s role as a healer. Farr Curlin’s study shows 69 percent of U.S. physicians are against physician assisted suicide (Curlin). In an article “Why Physicians Should Oppose Assisted Suicide” Tony Yang says “…with physician-assisted-suicide, the physician is to disregard what is perhaps the most universal moral injunction – do not kill…” Yang…

meaning (The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Fallacies", Bradley Dowden (2010)). It’s true that some studies using animals are unsuccessful. But the vast majority of them are successful as mentioned above (https://speakingofresearch.com/facts/medical-benefits/). The antagonist use those few unsuccessful ones as a selective truth that animal research don’t work. Then they exaggerate this truth to say “all” animals research are useless and irrelevant. The truth however, can only be obtained?…

always wrong. On this controversial topic, the author is appealing to a philosophy: physician assisted suicide doesn’t progress the medical community; but rather it undermines the doctor’s overwhelming ethical responsibility to treat the sick all the way until the very end. In this piece, Anderson genuinely promotes the idea that our society would genuinely put the medical community in danger, as well as possibly put the lives of terminally ill people if our nation expanded laws allowing…

What is okay to do in the name of science and its advances? The debate on animal testing has always been around but more and more people are starting to disagree with it. So if so many people disagree with it, why is animal testing still happening? There are places like China where it is actually illegal not to test on animals before selling cosmetics to the public and other places like Europe where it is completely illegal to test on animals for cosmetics. So who’s right? There is the morality…

There are many different of points of view when it comes to the topic and discussion of euthanasia. Euthanasia is the ‘mercy killing’ of someone in order to relieve some type of great pain or suffering. (White 148) Conducting my opinion on this topic was rather difficult, because there are many different circumstances to consider when arguing for or against euthanasia. I agree completely with the idea of Voluntary Euthanasia, which is the mercy killing of someone with their consent. (White 150)…

Is animal experimentation justified? Some say yes, while the other side says no. Those that oppose animal experimentation argue that animals have their own unalienable rights and should not be tortured for our benefit. However, diseases such as smallpox, Polio, tuberculosis, and meningitis are not nearly as common as they were in previous times. Diseases that were thought to be incurable such as cancer and AIDS are slowly becoming vulnerable to new medicine that is being tested. Advocates of…

Radiologist is a medical doctor (MD) or doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) who specialize in using medical imaging techniques that help diagnose and treat diseases and injuries. The medical imaging that they use would be x-rays, CTs,…

Animal Testing is the experimentation of products on animals. This testing is used to study the effects and how safe a product is for humans. I choose this topic because the vast majority of testing on animals is cruel and inhumane. For all the animals that are killed by the tests performed on them, most of the tests are inconclusive and provide wrong information. The testing kills innocent animals and this method of testing should be stopped. ***The end of brutal animal testing would save…
