California Civil Code �43.5 And Doctor-Patient Sexual Relations
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Pete and Suzie, married for ten years, have recently experience several episodes of martial discord; as such, they both agreed to seek marital counseling in an effort to overcome their difficulties. They sought the professional services of one Dr. Sleeze, a well known marriage counselor/psychiatrist employed by the Clinic For The Sexually Dysfunctional Female. During the course of the counseling, Pete discovered his wife Suzie and Dr. Sleeze had been regularly engaging in sexual relations during the therapy sessions, a realization that caused him severe mental distress. Pete sues Dr. Sleeze and the Clinic for malpractice and negligent infliction of mental distress and suffering; however, the doctor counters the lawsuit and makes a motion to dismiss it on the grounds that California Civil Code �43.5 specifically prohibits all such lawsuits. Pete counters back under the protection of California's crime of sexual exploitation. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Classical Arrangement: Why Stem Cell Research Is Moral
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Controversy surrounding hotly debated medical procedures abounds, particularly when there are ethical and moral concerns involved. The extent to which stem cell research has ignited a veritable battle is both grand and far-reaching; that opponents and supporters alike hold such fervent opinions illustrates the tremendous implications of the method's potentiality. However, as with virtually all debates of this emotional magnitude, one side typically holds a greater foundation of validity than the other; with the subject of stem cell research, it is quite clear to see how it is a moral procedure given its ability to save untold numbers of lives that would otherwise be lost. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
