As part of your assignment, you will assume the role of an investigative journalist working on an article about the situation of immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Using course materials (assigned readings, videos, short class readings) as sources, you will ‘interview’ experts and religious leaders (at least four) to analyze the opinions and rationalizations they provide for their particular response to the issue.
Using your knowledge of the various approaches to morals, ethics, and justice (Divine Command theory, libertarianism, utilitarianism, the fairness principle, etc.), consider the motivations of religious groups who favor immigration reform and more humane treatment of immigrants/migrants. What are the moral rationalizations they use to support their cause? What are the ethical implications of their support (think short-term and long-term advantages and consequences, who is benefiting, who is losing out, who stands to gain, what do they stand to gain, whose rights and liberties are they prioritizing, etc.)?

READ: When a machine designs, what should be its limits? ‘Artificial Intelligence and the Future of
Aesthetics’ – https://www.archdaily.com/937051/when-machines-design-artificial-intelligence-and-thefuture-of-aesthetics
Essay length: between 1,000 and 1,200 words (which is approximately 2.5+ pages in length).
– Format: proper essay structure throughout; please make sure to introduce your topic/case study
briefly as well as offer some concluding remarks; also, make sure to 1) keep your margins within a
normal range (not too wide or too narrow), 2) keep the font within a normal range (11-12 point), and
3) use a normal font style (Times New Roman, Gill Sans MT, etc.). Significant deviations from these
guidelines may result in the loss of points, as this will affect your essay’s reader-friendliness.
– Research: no research outside of reading the case study itself and referring back to earlier texts discussed in
this class, is expected or desired! You may, at times, want to refer to your reading on Utilitarianism,
Deontology, or the Wallach and Allen text. Any quotes/paraphrasing from these texts must be done
properly (see comments below). No other research beyond these texts mentioned above is expected.
– Referencing of sources: when referring to anything from your reading on the core ethical theories or
from the Wallach and Allen text, pick a formal citation style (such as MLA, APA, etc.) and use it
consistently; anything (ideas or quotes) you have borrowed or gleaned from these sources, including
paraphrasing, must be acknowledged and cited properly. Again, as noted above: this is not a research
paper. Please do not go beyond the main readings themselves (case study, core theories readings, and
the Wallach and Allen text) when responding to the above questions.

Write a 2–3 page paper examining the moral and ethical issues involved in making a decision regarding limiting life support.
End-of-Life Issues
Having established a framework of ethical theories and principles, we begin looking at some current critical ethical issues, starting with end-of-life issues. Passive euthanasia is the removal or refusal of life-sustaining treatment, such as removal of a feeding tube or a ventilator, or forgoing a life-prolonging surgery. Passive euthanasia is legal in all 50 states, and the principle of autonomy gives informed patients the right to refuse any and all treatments. Patients who cannot make such decisions in the moment (because they are unconscious, for example) may have expressed their intentions in an advance directive or similar document. Things become more complicated, however, when an incapacitated patient has not made his or her wishes clear in a written document or via conversations with family members or friends. Also problematic are cases in which there is disagreement about whether treatment is sustaining the life of a person in the full sense or merely as a body that, because of severe and irreversible brain trauma, is no longer truly a living person.
SHOW LESS
Active euthanasia or assisted suicide introduces further difficult moral questions. A terminally ill patient who has refused treatments that would merely prolong a potentially very painful and debilitating death might want death to be hastened and made less painful by taking his or her own life before the disease reaches its horrible final stages. Should patients be legally allowed to have help in this endeavor? If suicide itself is not morally wrong, at least in cases like these, is it wrong for another person to directly help bring about the patient’s death? Is it wrong for doctors—a role we naturally associate with healing and the promotion of life—to use their medical expertise to deliberately end a patient’s life if the patient wants this?
Preparation
Case Study: Mr. Martinez.
This case study provides the context for this assessment; make sure you have reviewed it thoroughly.
It may also be useful to think through the following issues as they relate to Mr. Martinez’s case:
Should Mr. Martinez be transferred to intensive care, where his respiratory failure can be treated by a ventilator or CPR if necessary, and his oxygen level can be monitored?
What are the key ethical issues or models in this case study?
What are the key end-of-life issues in this case study?
How can an understanding of models and best practices guide health care practitioners to make ethical and legal decisions?
Instructions
In a 2–3 page analysis of the case study, address the following:
The patient’s directives.
The patient’s quality of life.
The family’s stated preferences.
The moral issues associated with limiting life support.
The ethical principles most relevant to reaching an ethically sound decision.
Important considerations such as implications, justifications, and conflicts of interest that might arise because of the patient’s respiratory failure.
When writing your assessment, assume that doctors cannot contact Mrs. Martinez and must make this decision on their own. To help you reach an objective, ethically sound choice, draw upon concepts and arguments from the suggested resources or your own research. Support your response with clear, concise, and correct examples, weaving and citing the readings and media throughout your answer.

I HAVE ATTACHED THE CASE STUDY

Write a 3–5 page paper that analyzes a selected ethical problem in health care.

by | Mar 27, 2022 | Philosophy : Ethics

Write a 3–5 page paper that analyzes a selected ethical problem in health care.
We wrap things up with an assessment that concerns the most urgent problem in the ethics of health care—which you will determine. It may be something that affects the entire country, a specific region, or a community (such as rural or urban communities). You may choose a problem within your own community. It may be something that affects a particular profession or field in health care. Your paper can focus on something you have read about or a firsthand experience as a health care professional or consumer.
Preparation
Identify a current issue in health care ethics that you consider urgent. This may be an issue at the national level, in your own community, or anywhere in between. You may focus on something you have read about or know from firsthand experience as a health care professional or consumer.
Instructions
Write an analysis of a selected ethical problem in health care. You must respond to each of the following criteria. You may choose to respond to any or all of the prompts below each criterion.
Effectively summarize ethical issues surrounding a health care problem.
What is the problem?
Which communities and populations does it affect?
What are the ethical issues raised by the problem?
Demonstrate sound ethical thinking in applying ethical principles and moral theories to a specific problem.
What are the reasons you consider it the most important (or among the most important problems)?
What is the cause or causes of this problem? Why does it persist?
Apply ethical theories and principles to the selected ethical problem.
Which ethical principles (and perhaps moral theories) are most relevant to understanding this problem as an ethical issue?
Analyze the ethical problem from the perspectives of various stakeholders.
Who are the key stakeholders regarding this problem: the affected health care consumers (patients or clients) and health care professionals (such as doctors, nurses, administrators)?
Are there other stakeholders, such as community or government groups? Are there any institutional policies or legal or regulatory considerations that affect the problem?
Is there a conflict of interest at the heart of this problem? If so, what is the conflict and who are the stakeholders with competing interests?
Assess the policy, legal, and regulatory components to the ethical problem.
Which communities or regions does it affect most? Is this a localized problem or a national problem?
What legal and regulatory issues have an influence on this problem?
Which institutional policies affect this problem?
Develop a solution to the ethical problem based on ethical theories and principles.
What is the best solution to this problem and why? What are the best resources for solving this problem? How did you make this determination?
Submission Requirements
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
Supporting evidence: Provide validation and support for your assertions by including properly cited relevant examples and evidence.
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting guidelines.
Length: 2–3 typed, double-spaced pages.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
