Armando’s case is a very difficult one to try and find a solution too because there are not many. My first thought when Armando’s story started is there is no way this guy is going to live. Which is exactly what the staff at Hermann thought. They were preparing for a good donor when Armando arrived. “He’s not going to make it… except for the gunshot, he’s basically healthy. He’ll make a good donor” (pg. 53). As I said before when Armando pulled through the staff didn’t really know what to do with him. They knew at that point that he had no insurance and would not be able to pay his bills. They were banking on him wanting to die. When Armando answered yes to the question do you want to live like this, it shocked everyone. At the point of Armando

  • A Tender Hand In The Presence Of Death

    In A Tender Hand in the Presence of Death, Heather, the nurse, would put in IVs and feeding tubes in hopes of prolonging hospice care even when they were ineffective in order to give more time to the families who were having trouble letting go (MacFarquhar, 2016). In my personal situation, I can relate, as two of my grandparents have passed away from cancer and suffered for a long time before passing. Although it was incredibly sad and our families bargained for more time, there was some peace in knowing that the suffering had come to an end once they passed. For our own selfish reasons, we want as much time as possible with our loved ones who are suffering and close to death, but in reality, the decision for assisted suicide should only concern the individual whose life it

    The ethical discernment model described by Slosar (2004) and developed for use at Ascension Health will assist us as we analyze this case. It reminds us that discernment engages our spirituality, intellect, imagination, intuition, and beliefs. It is decision-making that reaches into the heart of our beliefs about God, creation, others, and ourselves. It therefore requires structured time for reflection and prayer from the beginning and throughout the process.

As I did my research and decided what was morally correct to do in this situation, I decided Lori should have the bone marrow transplant done. I do not think she is at the right stage of life to make a life or death decision, when we have the option of saving her life. There are too many parties that feel that this option is the best one and want to at least try to help her. At this point, we can say we tried and if it does not work we never gave up on her.

  • Physician-Assisted Suicide

    The man's wish to accelerate his death can seem like an unacceptable choice from a healthy person's point of view. People do not have the same opinions in sickness as they do in health. If your life is ending on tubes, you might as well make it quick and painless. Can we really say we are ending somebody's life if that person cannot live it? What is the point of life only to breathe and eat with the assistance of a machine? People are not plants and they should not be kept as such. Susan's father was right about terminating his existence. It was not suicide. He was defeated by his disease and he was ready to admit it. He left the world as a human being and not as a plant supported by machines.

  • John Harris Experiment Of The Survival Lottery

    However, this creates a conflict of morality. He comes to the conclusion that there is a flaw with utilitarianism unless we completely change the parameters. By doing so, killing one person to save two, and doing so on a regular basis would be okay. He uses the example that Y and Z are dying. Y needs a heart transplant. X needs a lung transplant. If a recently deceased person were a donor, Y and Z can be saved. Y and Z then ask, Why don 't we just kill a suitable donor? The medical procedures to save Y and Z are available, and in other medical treatments, a doctor 's failure to provide the service would be regarded as equivalent to killing the two patients. So, by not killing an innocent "donor" for the necessary heart and lungs, the doctor chooses to kill Y and Z. Harris proposes objections to killing one to save two and in the end, the Survival Lottery comes out of it. The survival lottery puts everyone on an even playing field for being chosen. In this situation, you would have to make sure that everyone is aware that their own chances of living are increased due to the fact that organ donation will no longer depend on the few people who become organ donors. Those who object to being chosen in the survival lottery would be labeled

    The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center uses a protocol for cardiopulmonary death in which they declare the patient dead after two minutes of cardiac arrest.1 This has become controversial because some critics argue patients could be resuscitated at the two minute mark, therefore the patients have not experienced irreversible loss of function and are not truly dead.1 In the event of organ donors, this violates the dead donor rule, which states that the patient must be dead in order to harvest organs.1 However, their council’s rebuttal states that ethically a patient has irreversibly lost function if the patient wishes to be free from life...

    They did not follow through with what the parents ask because a Florida law states you can’t remove organs until the donor is dead. Although it would be sad to kill Baby Theresa to give her organs away, I would agree with her parents and physicians because she does not have long to live and will never be conscious so why not take the good organs and give them to another baby that could live. Ethicist disagreed with the parents and the physician because they said “it’s wrong to use people as means to other people’s ends”, they are saying by taking her organs you would be using her to help other people 's children. When you’re using somebody it means to violate their autonomy, Baby Theresa has no autonomy so there’s no way to violate it. People can’t always decide for themselves, when she could not decide for herself you need to think “what would be in her best interest?” either way Baby Theresa would die so there’s really not a best interest for her. Ethicists also said “it 's wrong to kill one person to save another”, if you killed Baby Theresa to
