Family Attendance in Emergency Medical Situations
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the ethical and medical reasons for either allowing or excluding family members during certain emergency medical situations. Emphasizes that the decision as to whether or not to allow family member attendance is really dependent on the family and the patient. While some family members obviously provide a needed support structure for the patient, and thus are beneficial in terms of their overall welfare; other family members can be more of a liability or interference in certain medical situations. Assessing which category a family member falls into becomes the responsibility of medical personnel. In no event, however, should a family member be isolated from a patient simply based on blanket organizational policy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Gene Therapy Research Proposal
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper presenting a research proposal
with the purpose of evaluating methods of introducing germline - i.e., inheritable - genes in human
subjects. The intended approach will be to replicate specific methods gained from the literature,
evaluating each for their adaptability to universal application. The American Association. for the
Advancement of Science recommends that ethical issues be resolved first, but it also notes that
current methods are inefficient. Universally applicable methods need to be available before the
ethical questions are resolved. Much of the funding for research has been from the private sector,
pharmaceutical companies looking toward the profit that is certain to be substantial. Bibliography
lists 8 sources.

Genetic Engineering: Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The list of options was rather long as the couple sat in the waiting room filling out their paperwork. There for their first in vitro fertilization procedure, they were faced with a number of choices pertaining to the baby they would eventually create: sex - female; hair color - blond; eyes - green; height - 5'7"; body type - athletic; I.Q. - 125; aptitude - music and law. Testing for specific diseases had all but weeded out life-threatening syndromes and socially unacceptable conditions that guaranteed they would make a healthy baby - and if not then they would simply abort it - so all that was left for aspiring parents to think about was what psychological and physiological traits they wanted their perfect child to have. Is this merely the plot of a bestselling science fiction novel? Not anymore given the progress scientific advancement has rendered in the recent past. If genetic engineering continues down the path it currently follows, there will be grave consequences to pay for manipulating man's natural methods of reproduction. No bibliography.

Health Care Legalities and Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing a case in which an emergency room nurse turned away a patient delivered by ambulance.
