Ethical Issues In The Case Of Mr. Davidson's Case

It is clear from the first reading of the document that the case of Mr. Davidson cannot be called one-sided. Once you read the document without even perusing it, it is obvious that the case has a lot of points, which would be considered as points of ethical dilemmas. One, who would simply state that the issues is not an issue at all, taking into consideration the fact, that Mr. Davidson clearly expressed his own will and he was in the sound state of mind when he did so, would be guilty of narrow-mindedness and inability of analyze the matter in a multifaceted manner.

A person is a subjective creature, an individual, and therefore an assessment of his personal qualities should be conducted in the subjective matter, not otherwise. By conducting test with the question in mind “Is he sane or not?” there are only two possible outcomes. Independent of the result, the assessment would not be sound based on the assumption that person’s sanity, or rather state of mind or soul, is like a computer that exists only in two states. I believe that it should be more personal, as usual as it might sound; the test should be an elaborate and well-rounded interpretation of one’s mental state. Instead of going down the list and checking of things that indicate that the person is ‘functioning normally’, it should be conducted in a way that the person’s inner world would be painted at the end of the session, so that can it be said if Mr. Davidson is sane or not in respect of his own personal rather than the accepted definition of mentally
