If you were a doctor or hospital administrator, what principles and arguments would you use to decide a medical ethical case involving voluntary euthanasia where the duty to aid and the duty to preserve life were in conflict with the duty to prevent suffering and the duty to respect autonomy?

I agree or not agree and why? *meaningful* comments (not just "I agree" but something substantive engage the ideas).

Although there have been recent events that seem to cause the collapse of civilization likely in the coming decades, I do not think that it is immoral to have children. Also, regarding reducing greenhouse gases, I do not think that people should be restricted to having less children. Procreation is a basic, fundamental right that is deeply valued and is important for the continuation of the human society. Procreation is one of the most important events in some peoples’ lives and the to cultural expectations. Some people may argue that to question someone for their procreational choices is also a morally inappropriate. To many people, bringing a child into the world causes them extreme happiness. Procreating is often seen as a lifelong project to many prospective parents and they would see limitations to their choices as inappropriate and excessively demanding. Many may argue that it is not the best choice to bring a child into a world full of chaos and uncertainty, but that ultimate decision should only be made by the parents. Trevor Hedberg states that “it is inappropriate to claim that an individual’s procreative acts cause harm in the morally relevant sense,” which I completely agree with because you will not know if that child will cause harm to others until he/she has grown up. The world in which we live in today is vastly different than what that child will live in, but there are always ways to adapt and find solutions to problems, just as today’s society has done. Procreation is our moral right and the decision to do so, during these times, should not be judged negatively.

Marvin, a 42 year old factory worker, comes to his physician complaining of an open sore on his left shin that does not seem to be healing. As the doctor unwrapped the bandage the patient had applied, a strong odor was detected. She identified the wound as an infected venous stasis ulcer. She noticed that the lower leg was edematous and the skin of the foot and ankle was somewhat discolored. Portions of the saphenous vein were visibly distended and tortuous. An oral history revealed that the patient stood at a workbench all day on the job. She explained to the patient that his varicose veins were caused by valvular incompetence in his veins. This had progressed to the chronic venous insufficiency he was now suffering from. After the infection was controlled with antibiotics, the patient was advised to wear elastic stockings, sit down at work whenever possible and to perform toe raises every 5 minutes if he did have to stand up for extended periods. 1. What is the likely cause of the patient’s valvular incompetence? 2. Why does valvular incompetence lead to varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency? 3. Why does venous insufficiency result in edema and venous stasis ulcer formation? 4. What is the likely reason that the ulcer became infected? 5. What is the rationale for the advice about stockings, seated posture and leg raises?

You work in a "planning" clinic and follow a young couple who are planning to have a first child soon. Unfortunately the couple experiences some difficulties.Several months later and after several attempts, you have a second

Disorders of the endocrine system affect many individuals. Providing multidimensional patient care can be challenging for patients experiencing these disorders. Ensuring the plan of care meets the patient and family needs is important in order to increase adherence to proper medical treatment following discharge.

What does it mean to provide a multidimensional approach? Provide at least three examples of how the care team can meet the patient and the family’s needs? List at least three care team members and how are they involved in providing multidimensional care?
