2. Case study: The patient is a 54 year old woman. She has been experiencing fatigue, dizziness, pallor and excessive vaginal bleeding for several months. Upon a visit to her physician, it has been discovered that the patient is symptomatically anemic and does not have any type of tumor, cancer or other abnormality. The bleeding is symptomatic of peri-menopause, which can last for several years. The physician explains that a hysterectomy, surgery to remove the uterus, will alleviate all symptoms. The surgery can be performed as day surgery and with minimally invasive techniques. The patient is otherwise healthy.
The patient states that she understands that if she has the surgery, the vaginal bleeding will stop, she will no longer suffer from anemia and the accompanying dizziness and fatigue. She knows that the surgery is minimally invasive and she will likely go home the same day as the operation. She refuses the surgery, however, because she is about to be married and wants to have children with her future husband.
a. Is the patient competent to make the decision? Explain.
b. Is the decision rational or irrational? Explain.

Bryan Mejia was born with only one leg and no arms. His parents, Ana Mejia and Rodolfo Santana, have accused Marie Morel, MD, and OB/GYN Specialists of the Palm Beaches and Perinatal Specialists of the Palm Beaches of negligence for not properly detecting their son's defect and disability through ultrasound scans before he was born. They said they would have aborted their son if they had known he would have only one limb. The parents sued the physician and the clinic. The defendant's attorney argued that Morel is not to blame because the parents opted to not undergo amniocentesis, which might have detected any abnormalities. The parents rejected it because they were told that there was a small risk that performing the test would cause a miscarriage. The parents decided they would rather risk the chance of having a child with mental retardation than to risk a miscarriage. The court awarded the parents $4.5 million for a wrongful birth lawsuit.
Should Mejia's parents be held responsible because they declined the amniocentesis that might have detected their son's defect?
Would this be a case of eugenics? Does it promote aborting unborn children when diagnosed with a physical or mental disability?
