Writ 150

      After doing deeper research on the duty to warn at-risk family members of Genetic diseases, I found that there are a list of rules that physicians are supposed to follow when they are introduced to this problem with their patient. Due to this, I do not think I had a strong enough opposing viewpoint within this topic to write my research project #3 on it.  Now, I have now chosen to focus on another different ethical dilemma on writing project #3 which is liver transplant issues specifically regarding alcoholic liver disease. Is it a right or wrong for someone who has abused Alcohol to be able to get a liver transplant disease and what does this mean for individuals with liver diseases not created by Alcohol who had no control over them needing a working liver. This is a huge ethical dilemma due to the scarce supply that there is today.  Regarding ethical issues, This creates a conflict when regarding the medical Pillar of Justice because although everyone s...

I have chosen this topic because not only does it interest me but I want to challenge my point of view on it.

The brings up the question of whether they abide by their patient and respect their decision or do they abi...

Specifically in teens, vaping has became something very popular and is something that has become a trend. I also noticed that there was a perception of vaping within our generation that would weaken my argument of vaping needing a paternalistic approach. A lot of people believe that because e cigarettes were created in order to stop smoking actual cigarettes, it is a healthy alternative but that is not the case. the difference between vaping and smoking cigarettes is that within smoking cigarettes, tobacco is burning and the tar is harming your lungs. Within vaping, it is actually a liquid that is burning which makes people believe that it is a more healthy way. This...
