Morally Advocating in Nursing; Legal, Ethical, and Moral Obligations of the Professional Nurse Nurses routinely find themselves in moral and ethical predicaments. The moral convictions of a nurse may be tested when the family revokes the dying wishes of a patient, or a preterm neonate is denied resuscitation efforts due to organizational policy. The purpose of this paper is to identify the role of the nurse as a moral agent, incorporate skills and values inherent to ethical reasoning, and…

Every day 18-22 people die waiting for an organ, and “there are now more than 105,000 people on the waiting list for solid organ transplants (womenshealth)”. The organ crisis only continues to grow as the population increases. In fact, a new name is added to the waiting list about every 10 minutes (facts). The use of 3D organ cloning is an ethical alternate to full body cloning to aid in the organ shortage crisis in this country. Cloning Cloning involves taking DNA from a cell, and implanting…

The first human organ transplant occurred in 1954, on identical twins, and was performed by Dr. Joseph Murray, who later received a nobel prize for his work in pioneering some of the most common procedures that are practiced even today. Since then, advancements in the medical field such as more effective anti-rejection drugs, and more efficient surgical tools and techniques have made leaps and hurdles in overcoming many of the initial obstacles introduced by human organ harvesting and…

Nowadays, many liver transplant operations take place in the world because they can save patients’ lives. Unfortunately, the waiting times for liver transplants are long. In the United States, for instance, according to University of California San Francisco Medical Center, "there are over 17,000 patients on the liver waiting list, but only enough donated livers to perform about 5,000 transplants per year." (1) Many patients may die while they are still on these waiting lists. Thus, these…

underclassmen, interested in science, focused on the importance of organ donation. My class paired with an organization known as the Gift of Life which is a life saving program created to help families waiting for organ donations while at the same time support families who have made the decision to be organ donators. This program informed us on the organ donation process, the myths, and the need for people to make the decision to put organ donor on their license. With the information given to…

used to create organs for pharmaceutical companies. These organs are then put through multiple tests before going onto clinical trials. By doing this, drugs with adverse side effects can be found without having to be tested on by people or animals. The reason that the laser-induced method is more effective, and therefore more widely used, is because it creates the most accurate shape of an organ. The more…

genitalia of girls without medical benefit which causes immediate and long-term health consequences. Despite the negative health effects, this practice is still found to be prevalent in many nations, particularly in Africa and the Middle East. This organ mutilation is not founded upon a religious foundation, yet parents…

different fathers. However, I deem that the God Squad’s system is flawed insofar as it fails to consider how the resource could be used most effectively. I will also argue that the important value should be the prosperity of the organ and patient in order to ensure the organ is not wasted: killing two people. Therefore, I contend that Rhonda Ryder should be put on the list. There is good evidence that she will survive long term due to her youth, otherwise healthy, no other disease, and…

mandatory donation argue that this policy defeats the purpose of autonomy and that the decision to donate an organ should be that of an individual not the government (Griffith & Tengnah, 2010). Also, others contend that the rule of the Double effect may be used in mandated consent. Specifically, life shortening acts may be considered by health care providers if there is a potential availability of organs that will save the lives of many and if they have a reason to believe that the benefit…
