Stem Cell Research
The inner cell mass in a blastocyst is pluripotent. Pluripotency means that each one of the
cells is capable of differentiating into any type of cell in the human body.
These pluripotent cells can be used to create any cells, tissues, or organs in the body. They
can replace organs without the patients having to worry about organ rejection or taking
immune-suppressing medication for the rest of their lives in order to reduce the chance of
organ rejection. The pluripotent cells can also be used to help those with diabetes, spinal
cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or cancer, among many of diseases.
There are several different sources of pluripotent cells. The best and most reliable source
is the stem cells from an embryo. There are other types of stem cells such as induced
pluripotent cells and embryonic stem cells created through various processes.
In Canada, unused embryos from an in vitro fertilization procedure may be donated for
stem cell research. However, the gamete or embryo donors must explicitly consent to the
use to of gametes or embryos for stem cell research. Otherwise, the gametes and embryos
collected for reproductive purposes need to be discarded.
Should the Canadian policy regarding human pluripotent stem cell research be changed
so that all unused gametes and embryos should be made available for research unless
explicitly stated by the donors?

In a certain clinic, there are five patients in urgent needs of organ transplants. All five patients are middle age people, who are significant contributors to the society (we can assume that they are a well-known physicist, an important military officer, neuroscientist, a great politician, and a social reformer.) One day a new patient comes to this clinic, a middle age janitor, with very advanced brain cancer.

The janitor does not have a chances to recover from his brain cancer. He does not have any family, and he is a volunteer organ donor. His organs would save lives of the five other people. But the janitor wishes to live as long as he can. The doctor (who is the owner of this clinic) estimates that the janitor will live for another six months. Unfortunately, none of the five other men is able to wait for the organ transplant that long. If this situation is left to its natural order, all six people will be dead in six months.

By the virtue of his profession, the doctor is committed to saving human lives (and not to terminating human lives). By his rational judgement, the doctor thinks he should try to do what will bring the best possible outcome; it seems the right thing to do is to save as many (significant) people as possible.


Should he arrange an urgent surgery for the janitor, and conduct it in the way the janitor dies during the medical procedure (the doctor would be the only one who knows what really happened)? This way he can use the janitor’s organs to save the other five men?

i. Why does Darwin believe that nature has put such a premium upon the enhanced survival skills of certain creatures?

ii. Darwin compares natural selection to a country undergoing some form of climate change. How does he say that such an example and climate change are similar?

iii. Darwin argues that the hand of "natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinising, throughout the world, the slightest variations; rejecting those that are bad, preserving and adding up all that are good; silently and insensibly working, whenever and where opportunity offers, at the improvement of each organic being in relation to its organic and inorganic conditions of life." If Darwin is correct, how come we don't see people, animals, and other organisms morphing before our eyes?

iv. What makes leaf-eating insects green, bark-eating insects mottled grey, and gives hawks such good eyesight? What happened to the insects of the wrong color or the near-sighted hawks?

v. How could this view of the role(s) played by the laws of nature upon the rest of the animal kingdom (yes, you are a part of the animal kingdom: the ape family) be interpreted to apply to human interactions? After reading this kind of expose, what reason might some give for poverty, disease, or the domination of one people over another? [I do not mean to suggest that it should be applied, completely, to the understanding of human interactions, but some did, and I am setting the stage for that movement.]

An organization uses SSO authentication for employee access to network resources. When an employee

resigns, as per the organization’s security policy, the employee’s access to all network resources is terminated immediately. Two weeks later, the former employee sends an email to the help desk for a password reset to access payroll information from the human resources server. Which of the following represents the BEST course of action?

  1. Approve the former employee’s request, as a password reset would give the former employee access to only the human resources server.
  2. Deny the former employee’s request, since the password reset request came from an external email address.
  3. Deny the former employee’s request, as a password reset would give the employee access to all network resources.
  4. Approve the former employee’s request, as there would not be a security issue with the former employee gaining access to network resources.

Janine has been an employee of Dress Me Inc. a national chain of clothing stores for women (the "Company") for the last 10 years. She began as a sales person and later, in 2017, after completing an MBA, was promoted by the Company to her current position as Senior Sales Manager. The position requires that Janine work regular office hours from Monday to Friday, as well as take occasional trips to visit major clients, which often exceed the traditional office hours. In January 2020, Janine was involved in a car accident that luckily did not leave her with any significant physical injury but the trauma is still evident. She suffers from bad quality of sleep and increased anxiety. She cannot drive anymore and using public transportation to visit clients does not really work. Janine requests to work in the form of fixed hours of work, weekdays only, 9:00am to 5:00pm with a 30 minute break at 12:00pm. She also requests to meet clients on zoom. The Company refuses her request. They say that it was vital that the hours of work of the Senior Sales Manager include occasional longer days and evenings to fit the needs of clients and that there is "an added value to client visits on site". If she can't do longer hours and visit clients -- they say -- she can go back to her old job as a sales person. Janine files a human rights complaint against the Company.

Briefly describe the legal arguments of both parties (Janine and the Company) in relation to the human rights complaint. [4 marks]

Chapter 10

You are a supervisor in Macklin Corporation, a manufacturer of carpentry tools that is located in Los Angeles. During a recent staff meeting, employee motivation was a major topic of discussion. A number of the supervisors indicated that their subordinates don’t seem to be as highly motivated as they were a few years ago. As a result, work is not produced as quickly or with as much quality as was the case earlier. Some at the meeting indicated that this is a sign of the times-that is not the fault of Macklin. Others indicated that they believed the problem stemmed from the fact that salary increases have been lower the last several years than ever before, primary because the company is not as profitable as it was earlier. Others said that they believe the problem of employee motivation can be attributed to a lack of fringe benefits in Macklin, especially since an increasing number of companies in the Los Angeles area are being more generous with the benefits they offer. To correct the problem, several supervisors recommended that a consultant be brought in. Another recommendation was to have the personnel department do an in-house study to determine the source of the problem. A questionnaire could be developed that would respond to anonymously. While no decision were made at the meeting, the executive vice president for the input of each person who attended he wants input regarding your ideas about (1) the reasons why the employees are not as highly motivated as they were in the past and (2) whether the study should be conducted by a consultant or by the human resources department.

Do you believe that a consultant should be hired or do you believe the human resources department should conduct the study? Why
