Is cloning human beings morally wrong? The basis for the one serious objection to cloning is that, because of what a clone is, clones would have much worse lives than non-clones. I sketch a fragment of moral theory to make sense of the objection. I then outline several ways in which it might be claimed that, because of what a clone is, clones would have much worse lives than non-clones. In particular, I look at various ideas connected with autonomy. I conclude that there is no basis to the claim that, because of what a clone is, clones would have much worse lives than non-clones. I therefore reject the claim that cloning human beings is morally wrong.  (+info)

Genetics and the British insurance industry. (2/615)

Genetics and genetic testing raise key issues for insurance and employment. Governmental and public concern galvanised the British insurance industry into developing a code of practice. The history of the development of the code, issues of genetic discrimination, access to medical information, consent and the dangers of withholding information and the impact on the equity of pooled risk are explored. Proactive steps by the Association of British Insurers suggest that moral reflection not legislation is the way forward.  (+info)

Indigenous peoples and the morality of the Human Genome Diversity Project. (3/615)

In addition to the aim of mapping and sequencing one human's genome, the Human Genome Project also intends to characterise the genetic diversity of the world's peoples. The Human Genome Diversity Project raises political, economic and ethical issues. These intersect clearly when the genomes under study are those of indigenous peoples who are already subject to serious economic, legal and/or social disadvantage and discrimination. The fact that some individuals associated with the project have made dismissive comments about indigenous peoples has confused rather than illuminated the deeper issues involved, as well as causing much antagonism among indigenous peoples. There are more serious ethical issues raised by the project for all geneticists, including those who are sympathetic to the problems of indigenous peoples. With particular attention to the history and attitudes of Australian indigenous peoples, we argue that the Human Genome Diversity Project can only proceed if those who further its objectives simultaneously: respect the cultural beliefs of indigenous peoples; publicly support the efforts of indigenous peoples to achieve respect and equality; express respect by a rigorous understanding of the meaning of equitable negotiation of consent, and ensure that both immediate and long term economic benefits from the research flow back to the groups taking part.  (+info)

Moral concerns of different types of patients in clinical BRCA1/2 gene mutation testing. (4/615)

PURPOSE: Implementing predictive genetic testing for a severe and common chronic disease such as breast cancer may raise unique ethical problems. Here we report on moral concerns experienced by patients in the setting of genetic counseling based on BRCA1/2 gene testing. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients were members of breast or breast/ovarian cancer families in a consecutive series of 100 families who received counseling at a familial cancer clinic. The patients' moral concerns were identified using the grounded theory approach in the qualitative analysis of verbal transcripts of 45 counseling sessions. Included were sessions with patients who had breast and ovarian cancer, as well as their male and female relatives, before and after the specific BRCA1/2 gene mutation was identified in the family, and before and after those who opted for mutation analysis were informed of their carrier status. RESULTS: There is an association of BRCA1/2 gene mutation carrier status and specific topics of moral concern. The moral preoccupations of patients with breast and ovarian cancer (probable carriers) related to their being instrumental in the detection of the specific mutation segregating in the family. The preoccupations of possible carriers concerned their own offspring. Individuals who tested positive (proven carriers) were concerned with issues of confidentiality. Patients who tested negative (proven noncarriers) were concerned with helping siblings and other relatives. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the moral concerns of subjects in the study sample may help health care providers be aware of the moral concerns of their own patients. This report may also contribute to the debate on predictive testing for familial adult-onset diseases from the patient's perspective.  (+info)

Equitable rationing of highly specialised health care services for children: a perspective from South Africa. (5/615)

The principles of equality and equity, respectively in the Bill of Rights and the white paper on health, provide the moral and legal foundations for future health care for children in South Africa. However, given extreme health care need and scarce resources, the government faces formidable obstacles if it hopes to achieve a just allocation of public health care resources, especially among children in need of highly specialised health care. In this regard, there is a dearth of moral analysis which is practically useful in the South African situation. We offer a set of moral considerations to guide the macro-allocation of highly specialised public health care services among South Africa's children. We also mention moral considerations which should inform micro-allocation.  (+info)

Protective truthfulness: the Chinese way of safeguarding patients in informed treatment decisions. (6/615)

The first part of this paper examines the practice of informed treatment decisions in the protective medical system in China today. The second part examines how health care professionals in China perceive and carry out their responsibilities when relaying information to vulnerable patients, based on the findings of an empirical study that I had undertaken to examine the moral experience of nurses in practice situations. In the Chinese medical ethics tradition, refinement [jing] in skills and sincerity [cheng] in relating to patients are two cardinal virtues that health care professionals are required to possess. This notion of absolute sincerity carries a strong sense of parental protectiveness. The empirical findings reveal that most nurses are ambivalent about telling the truth to patients. Truth-telling would become an insincere act if a patient were to lose hope and confidence in life after learning of his or her disease. In this system of protective medical care, it is arguable as to whose interests are being protected: the patient, the family or the hospital. I would suggest that the interests of the hospital and the family members who legitimately represent the patient's interests are being honoured, but at the expense of the patient's right to know.  (+info)

In defence of medical ethics. (7/615)

A number of recent publications by the philosopher David Seedhouse are discussed. Although medicine is an eminently ethical enterprise, the technical and ethical aspects of health care practices can be distinguished, therefore justifying the existence of medical ethics and its teaching as a specific part of every medical curriculum. The goal of teaching medical ethics is to make health care practitioners aware of the essential ethical aspects of their work. Furthermore, the contention that rational bioethics is a fruitless enterprise because it analyses non-rational social events seems neither theoretically tenable nor to be borne out by actual practice. Medical ethics in particular and bioethics in general, constitute a field of expertise that must make itself understandable and convincing to relevant audiences in health care.  (+info)

The virtue of nursing: the covenant of care. (8/615)

It is argued that the current confusion about the role and purpose of the British nurse is a consequence of the modern rejection and consequent fragmentation of the inherited nursing tradition. The nature of this tradition, in which nurses were inducted into the moral virtues of care, is examined and its relevance to patient welfare is demonstrated. Practical suggestions are made as to how this moral tradition might be reappropriated and reinvigorated for modern nursing.  (+info)

The Splintered Mind: The Moral Behavior of Ethicists and the Rationalist DelusionThe Splintered Mind: The Moral Behavior of Ethicists and the Rationalist Delusion
A new essay with Joshua Rust.. In the first part, we summarize our empirical research on the moral behavior of ethics professors.. In the second part, we consider five possible explanations of our finding that ethics professors behave, on average, no better than do other professors.. Explanation 1: Philosophical moral reflection has no material impact on real-world moral behavior. Jonathan Haidt has called the view that explicit moral reflection does have a substantial effect on ones behavior "the rationalist delusion".. Explanation 2: Philosophical moral reflection influences real world moral behavior, but only in very limited domains of professional focus. Those domains are sufficiently narrow and limited that existing behavioral measures cant unequivocally detect them. Also, possibly, any improvement in such narrow domains might be cancelled out, in terms of overall moral behavior, by psychological factors like moral licensing or ego depletion.. Explanation 3: Philosophical moral reflection ...
Atheist Ethicist: The Foundation of Moral ValueAtheist Ethicist: The Foundation of Moral Value
Of course we have independent means of determining whether or not something has moral value. That is why we know that the suggestion that a turnip has greater moral value than a human child is absurd. We know, just as an example, that being a subject of conscious states is relevant to whether something has moral value. (And one reason for this is that the capacity for consciousness is a requirement for the capacity of being the subject of states, such as pleasure and pain, that have intrinsic value). So, we know, on this basis, that if the detector indicates that something that is incapable of conscious experience (say, a turnip) has more value than something that is capable of conscious experience (a child), then the detector is not detecting value. ...

Moral Reasoning (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)Moral Reasoning (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Moral considerations often conflict with one another. So do moral principles and moral commitments. Assuming that filial loyalty and patriotism are moral considerations, then Sartres student faces a moral conflict. Recall that it is one thing to model the metaphysics of morality or the truth conditions of moral statements and another to give an account of moral reasoning. In now looking at conflicting considerations, our interest here remains with the latter and not the former. Our principal interest is in ways that we need to structure or think about conflicting considerations in order to negotiate well our reasoning involving them. One influential building-block for thinking about moral conflicts is W. D. Rosss notion of a "prima facie duty". Although this term misleadingly suggests mere appearance - the way things seem at first glance - it has stuck. Some moral philosophers prefer the term "pro tanto duty" (e.g., Hurley 1989). Ross explained that his term provides "a brief way of referring ...

Patterns of neural activity associated with honest and dishonest moral decisions | PNASPatterns of neural activity associated with honest and dishonest moral decisions | PNAS
The behavioral and fMRI data support the Grace hypothesis over the Will hypothesis, suggesting that honest moral decisions depend more on the absence of temptation than on the active resistance of temptation. Individuals who behaved honestly showed no sign of engaging additional controlled cognitive processes when choosing to behave honestly. These individuals exhibited no additional neural activity of any kind when they chose to forgo opportunities for dishonest gain, as compared with control trials in which there was no such opportunity. We provided a more stringent test of this negative result by dramatically reducing the statistical threshold for this comparison, focusing on brain regions that exhibited effects for this comparison in dishonest subjects (Fig. 3B). This more-stringent test also revealed no effects, and further tests (group × contrast interaction) confirmed that the honest and dishonest subjects exhibited different patterns of activity in these regions. The RT data support the ...
Atheism: Proving The Negative: The Illusion of Moral Guidance from GodAtheism: Proving The Negative: The Illusion of Moral Guidance from God
So whats happening is that our moral inquiries are actually more rudderless than we know, and to ill effect. Theres nothing wrong with changing our minds, or reflecting on new evidence. Quite the contrary, we should gather as many relevant considerations as possible for moral decisions and then be prepared to alter our views. Whats dangerous is being oblivious to the organic nature of how our cognitive faculties produce these ideas and being ignorant of our tenedency to create revisionist histories. And whats even more dangerous is the tendency to attribute these shifting moral decisions to an almighty, supernatural being who will enforce them, whatever they happen to be that day, with eternal damnation. Putting God into the process adds a level of false certainty, and ignores its fluid, constructive nature. It also ignores the fact that our moral judgments should be defeasible and that a moral principle or judgment that seemed to work well in the past may not capture the subtleties of ...
Symposium on Mediating morality: Using unmanned aerial systems for decision making in moral situations | 4TUSymposium on Mediating morality: Using unmanned aerial systems for decision making in moral situations | 4TU
Following the increasing civil and military deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles, an intense public debate on the positive and negative effects of drones has emerged. The ECIS symposium "Mediating morality: Using unmanned aerial systems for decision making in moral situations" focuses on how the use of drones affects decision-making in moral situations. Current research in moral philosophy and moral psychology provides no clear answers regarding the effects that drones have on moral decision making. The aim of the workshop is to bring together stakeholders and researchers in the field of technology, philosophy and psychology to discuss the consequences of using drones. The goal of the symposium is to share insights from theory and practice on technological mediation in moral situations and combine insights from these diverse disciplines to guide future interdisciplinary work.. ...
Pursuing Moral Faithfulness - InterVarsity PressPursuing Moral Faithfulness - InterVarsity Press
Christianity is in a state of moral crisis.. Even though people make moral decisions every day, many Christians lack both the ability to evaluate these decisions and a community of discipleship to help inspire a morally faithful life. Compared to the people around them, there is often no discernible difference in how Christians go about making moral choices.. As a biblical and practical theologian with three decades of pastoral experience, who has also spent years teaching ethics to undergraduates, Gary Tyra approaches the topic with the practical goal of facilitating moral formation and encouraging an "everyday" moral faithfulness. Tyra argues that Christians can have confidence in their Christ-centered, Spirit-enabled ability to discern and do the will of God in any moral situation. Moral faithfulness follows from a life of Christian discipleship.. In an age of moral apathy and theological confusion, Pursuing Moral Faithfulness is a breath of fresh air and a sign of hope for the future.. ...
Always a burden? Healthcare providers perspectives on moral distress | ADC Fetal & Neonatal EditionAlways a burden? Healthcare providers' perspectives on moral distress | ADC Fetal & Neonatal Edition
Results A total of 345 healthcare providers from two NICUs participated (80% response rate): 286 nurses and 59 medical providers. Moral distress was correctly identified as constrained moral judgement resulting in distress by 93% of participants. However, in practice the term moral distress was also used as an umbrella term to articulate different forms of distress. Moral distress was experienced by 72% of providers at least once a month. Yet despite the negative sequelae of moral distress, few (8% medical, 21% nursing providers) thought that moral distress should be eliminated from the NICU. Open-ended responses revealed that while interventions were desired to decrease the negative impacts of moral distress, moral distress was also viewed as an essential component of the caring profession that prompts robust discussion and acts as an impetus for medical decision-making. ...
ERIC - To Push or Not to Push? Affective Influences on Moral Judgment Depend on Decision Frame, Cognition, 2013-MarERIC - To Push or Not to Push? Affective Influences on Moral Judgment Depend on Decision Frame, Cognition, 2013-Mar
Peoples moods can influence moral judgment. Such influences may arise because moods affect moral emotion, or because moods affect moral thought. The present study provides evidence that, at least in the footbridge dilemma, moods affect moral thought. The results of two experiments are reported in which, after induction of positive, negative, or neutral moods and presentation of the footbridge scenario, participants were asked one of two differentially framed closing questions. In the active frame, participants were asked whether they would be active and push the man, making thoughts about pushing accessible; in the passive frame, they were asked whether they would be passive and not push the man, making thoughts about not pushing accessible. The results show that affective influences on moral judgment depended on participants decision frame. Compared to neutral moods, positive moods induced utilitarian responding--i.e., deciding to push--in the active decision frame, but induced
Using a foreign language changes moral decisionsUsing a foreign language changes moral decisions
Would you sacrifice one person to save five? Such moral choices could depend on whether you are using a foreign language or your native tongue.. A new study from psychologists at the University of Chicago and Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona finds that people using a foreign language take a relatively utilitarian approach to moral dilemmas, making decisions based on assessments of whats best for the common good. That pattern holds even when the utilitarian choice would produce an emotionally difficult outcome, such as sacrificing one life so others could live.. "This discovery has important consequences for our globalized world, as many individuals make moral judgments in both native and foreign languages," said Boaz Keysar, professor of psychology at UChicago. "The real-world implications could include an immigrant serving as a jury member in a trial, who may approach decision-making differently than a native English speaker." Leading author Albert Costa, a UPF psychologist, added that ...

John Blanton | North Texas SkepticsJohn Blanton | North Texas Skeptics
Moral relativism, according to Meyer and also according to most who give thought to the matter, holds there is no fixed and true morality. Moral values are at best set by societies and in the worst cases are set by individuals. Individuals who set their own moral values may become social outcasts and usually do harm to themselves, with harm being a relative term.. We apparently do not receive moral values from evolutionary biology, Meyer argues, and here he is almost completely right. I stated previously (Episode 9) that an inherited moral trait seems to be that mothers do not kill their children. This is definitely something that would be selected for in Darwinian evolution. What then, of the moral issue of not taking other peoples stuff? If you can make a good living by stealing, then you can live a good life without having to spend hours a day working, and you can get yourself a good-looking woman and send your genes deeply into the pool. Meyer makes this point, but those are my words. Lets ...

N2 - Previous research on moral judgement in healthy adults suggests a complex interplay of automatic, emotional and deliberative processing. We aimed to advance understanding of these processes by examining moral judgement in individuals with schizophrenia, a population characterised by social-cognitive deficits and interpersonal difficulties. Forty-five patients with schizophrenia and 27 healthy controls judged high-conflict moral dilemmas in response to 3rd-person (i.e. "Is it morally okay to [perform X]?") and 1st-person (i.e. "Would you [perform X]?") probes. Controls were less utilitarian for 3rd-person than 1st-person probes, while this discrepancy did not hold for patients. Utilitarianism in patients correlated with higher levels of interpersonal conflict. Findings suggest that people with schizophrenia focus equally on ...
Detroit Area Study, 1956: Orientation on Moral Issues in a Metropolis and The Meaning of WorkDetroit Area Study, 1956: Orientation on Moral Issues in a Metropolis and The Meaning of Work
This study of 797 adults in the Detroit metropolitan area provides information on their attitudes toward work and their motivations for working, as well as their orientation toward many social and political issues. The study was a combination of two separate studies: ORIENTATION ON MORAL ISSUES IN A METROPOLIS by Robert Angell, and THE MEANING OF WORK by Robert Kahn and Robert Weiss. Respondents were asked about the importance of work in their life, the things in their job that made them feel important, the things they wanted from their job that it did not provide, the other areas of their life that made them feel useful, and the people in their lives that influenced their choice of occupation. A number of questions that focused on women working outside the home probed respondents feelings about how a husband was affected by a working wife, and if there were kinds of jobs that women should not have. Other questions probed respondents views about what the United States should do in the event of ...

PEP Web - Preschoolers Face Moral Dilemmas: A Longitudinal Study Of Acknowledging And Resolving Internal ConflictPEP Web - Preschoolers Face Moral Dilemmas: A Longitudinal Study Of Acknowledging And Resolving Internal Conflict
Following on from research that indicated significant moral internalisations by age 3, using a play narrative approach in which children were asked to complete story stems describing a range of moral dilemmas, the purpose of this study was to replicate the results, extend them with longitudinal information and assess the childs developing capacities to acknowledge both sides of moral dilemmas and resolve them in a prosocial way. Fifty-one children were presented with three enacted story stems describing moral dilemmas as they might occur in everyday life. Story completions were obtained from children at ages 3, 4, and 5 and were coded for the level of acknowledgement of the dilemmas and the degree of prosocialness involved in story resolution. Results included the following: firstly, some children acknowledged the dilemmas and resolved them prosocially as early as age 3; secondly, the ability to acknowledge dilemmas and resolve them improved with age; and thirdly, children showed a greater ...

One recent study with moral dilemmas suggested that testosterone administration increases utilitarian judgments, which depends on second-to-fourth (2D: 4D) digit ratio, as a proxy of prenatal priming. However, the neural mechanism by which acute testosterone modulates moral reasoning remains to be determined. Using a placebo-controlled within-subject design, the current study examined the neuromodulatory effect of testosterone in young females by combining moral dilemmas, 2D: 4D, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and subjective ratings of morally laden scenarios. ...
Wallach, Hughes, Hopkins @ The Moral Brain: What Is It? Can It Be Enhanced?Wallach, Hughes, Hopkins @ The Moral Brain: What Is It? Can It Be Enhanced?
Abstract: After the recent explosion of cognitive science research about our moral and social functioning, philosophers began to look at the possibility and desirability of enhancing our moral faculty (Savulescu and Persson, 2008, 2011; Harris, 2010; 2011). But what exactly moral enhancement means, and can neuroscience of morality and moral psychology be helpful in finding ways to enhance our moral faculty? I will examine two challenges to the way evidence from moral psychology was so far used in the debate. First, in the current literature the examples of moral enhancement included enhancing empathy, trust and other traits that may translate into dispositions for pro-social behaviour. However, some have pointed out that prosocial does not equal moral (e.g. Chan and Harris, 2011; Pacholczyk, 2011). I suggest that although the point is convincing, there will also be cases when modifying empathy or trust is indeed conducive to moral outcomes. Consequently, simply pointing out whether an ...

Treating Moral Injury - The Ecumenical CenterTreating Moral Injury - The Ecumenical Center
We often think of pain as a physical sensation. But some of the deepest wounds we experience transcend our senses. A common example is the guilt we feel when we violate our own moral code, whether by accident or on purpose. A soldier having to kill in wartime can experience this kind of inner shame. This pain is called Moral Injury. Unlike PTSD, Moral Injury is based on moral judgment rather than fear, and it can happen to anyone. Its critical to be able to recognize and know how to treat it.. The symptoms of Moral Injury can include feeling remorse, outrage, despair, or betrayal. An affected person may seem distant, preoccupied, overworked or irritable. Its important to approach them with an open heart and without judgment. Often, just hearing the term Moral Injury will help them begin to process and integrate their experience..

What Is Moral? | The Rational Response SquadWhat Is Moral? | The Rational Response Squad
A YouTuber from Australia posed a number of questions designed to stimulate thought on what was a moral response to a dilemma. One of them was the Sophies Choice dilemma. A conversation on the general definition of morality ensued.. Q: I wonder if you may expand on your point about the specific examples given not being moral issues, to stop any further confusion (if you see any)? A: Ill try. As I said before, I think questions of this kind are idle because they really allow no good result. You can make yourself crazy with exercises like this and wind up no wiser than when you started, because there simply IS no correct answer. Or, its entirely possible that you are a deeper thinker than I am. I say that without irony or rancor. Your mind seems to have a facility for philosophy that mine simply doesnt. I get bogged down mentally in philosophical questions, and Im never sure that Ive addressed them well enough.. Q: Ultimately I would say moral decisions are inconveniently subjective ...

Brain Injury Changes Moral Judgment - EvolutionBlogBrain Injury Changes Moral Judgment - EvolutionBlog
The article goes on to describe how this study is consistent with other results showing that a capacity for moral thinking is hardwired into the brain. This is highly significant. The existence of a moral sense in humans has long been cited by theists as evidence for the existence of God. C.S. Lewis famously made this the centerpiece of his argument in Mere Christianity. But it is becoming undeniable that specific regions of the brain are responsible for our capacity for moral reasoning, and that our moral intuitions are merely more highly developed forms of things already present in modern apes.. In this recent post I discussed work regarding the evolution of religion. I argued that the idea that a propensity for religious belief is something that emerged via evolution is easier for atheists to assimilate than it is for theists. I think the same can be said for the findings described here.. Sure, a physical structure in the brain that provides our capacity for moral reasoning might be a gift ...

1. See Darwall (1983), pp. 51 ff. See also notes 8 and 10.. 2. This way of explaining moral realism follows Geoffrey Sayre-McCord, "The Many Moral Realisms," in Essays on Moral Realism, ed.

Mackies claims about moral properties are not entirely clear, but his position seems to be, not merely that nothing has a moral property but that there are no moral properties. Insofar as Mackie is committed to the nonexistence of moral properties, the analogy to unicorns is at least somewhat inapt. For arguably there is a property of being unicorn; its just not instantiated-i.e. nothing has it. 4. For a more refined presentation of this and other Humean arguments, as well as more detailed anti-Humean replies, see Shafer-Landau (2003), 122-141.

Task-dependent evaluative processing of moral and emotional content during comprehension: an ERP study - Nottingham ePrintsTask-dependent evaluative processing of moral and emotional content during comprehension: an ERP study - Nottingham ePrints
Recently, we showed that when participants passively read about moral transgressions (e.g., adultery) they implicitly engage in the evaluative (good-bad) categorization of incoming information, as indicated by a larger event-related brain potential (ERP) positivity to immoral than moral scenarios (Leuthold, Kunkel, Mackenzie, & Filik, 2015). Behavioral and neuroimaging studies indicated that explicit moral tasks prioritize the semantic-cognitive analysis of incoming information but that implicit tasks, as used in Leuthold et al. (2015), favor their affective processing. Therefore, it is unclear whether an affective categorization process is also involved when participants perform explicit moral judgments. Thus, in two experiments, we used similarly constructed morality and emotion materials for which their moral and emotional content had to be inferred from the context. Target sentences from negative vs. neutral emotional scenarios and from moral vs. immoral scenarios were presented using rapid ...
Philosophy, et cetera: Opposite Day: abortion editionPhilosophy, et cetera: Opposite Day: abortion edition
Many times the abortion debate boils down to pro-choicers saying that the fetus is part of the mother and destroying it is morally equivalent to the mother deciding to have her finger amputated. In other words, it is seen as a private non-moral decision. I argue that ending any life is a fundamentally moral decision and therefore ought to be considered in terms of its morality or immorality. As for the ants in the garage, maybe it is a moral decision. I would argue killing every ant in the world is certainly immoral. Killing a single ant seems quite insignificant to the world but then in the grand scheme of things killing a person is rather insignificant. I certainly have other moral flaws I am worrying about fixing before I worry about whether I should kill an insect but maybe all of us need to think a little bit about how amazing the lives we destroy are whether it is an ant, a frog, a dog or a fetus.

Is a Little Wine Good for the Soul?Is a Little Wine Good for the Soul?
Im going to write plainly. There is hardly a man on this planet who does not know that when trying to seduce a woman, his chances will vastly improve if he can get her to drink first because her reasoning will be clouded and her willpower reduced. A gynecologist recently said that he frequently has women come in with a similar story. Well, I went out and had a few drinks and wasnt thinking too clearly and ended up in bed with a stranger. Now Im scared about AIDS and I want to be tested for HIV. Once I heard a prominent Christian leader publicly state, alcohol is not a moral issue. It is not an issue of weak character...It is not a moral right or wrong. It is not a yes or no issue. It is not a moral negative to drink. Now you may say that alcohol use is not a moral issue, but when a substance reduces my inhibitions, impairs my judgment, and facilitates my decision to engage in immoral behaviour, then it gets dangerously close to being a moral issue. Even a female secular political ...
Moral realism - Routledge Encyclopedia of PhilosophyMoral realism - Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Moral realism is the view that there are facts of the matter about which actions are right and which wrong, and about which things are good and which bad. But behind this bald statement lies a wealth of complexity. If one is a full-blown moral realist, one probably accepts the following three claims.. First, moral facts are somehow special and different from other sorts of fact. Realists differ, however, about whether the sort of specialness required is compatible with taking some natural facts to be moral facts. Take, for instance, the natural fact that if we do this action, we will have given someone the help they need. Could this be a moral fact - the same fact as the fact that we ought to do the action? Or must we think of such a natural fact as the natural ground for the (quite different) moral fact that we should do it, that is, as the fact in the world that makes it true that we should act this way?. Second, realists hold that moral facts are independent of any beliefs or thoughts we ...
Moral lesson - The Art and Popular Culture EncyclopediaMoral lesson - The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
A moral lesson is a term in narratology used to denote the educational value of a work. Moral lessons can be found in fables, emblemata, wisdom poetry, exempla, bestiaries and traditional stories. The moral lesson (the "moral") is usually found at the end and may be expressed explicitly in a pithy maxim. As an example of the latter, at the end of Aesops fable of the Tortoise and the Hare, in which the plodding and determined tortoise wins a race against the much-faster yet extremely arrogant hare, the moral is "slow and steady wins the race". However, it can also be interpreted that arrogance or overconfidence in ones abilities may lead to failure or the loss of an event, race, or contest. Undermining another persons ability based on image is another message or moral trying to be conveyed. The use of stock characters is a means of conveying the moral of the story by eliminating complexity of personality and so spelling out the issues arising in the interplay between the characters, enables the ...

What makes people behave honestly when confronted with opportunities for dishonest gain? Research on the interplay between controlled and automatic processes in decision making suggests 2 hypotheses: According to the "Will" hypothesis, honesty results from the active resistance of temptation, comparable to the controlled cognitive processes that enable the delay of reward. According to the "Grace" hypothesis, honesty results from the absence of temptation, consistent with research emphasizing the determination of behavior by the presence or absence of automatic processes. To test these hypotheses, we examined neural activity in individuals confronted with opportunities for dishonest gain. Subjects undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) gained money by accurately predicting the outcomes of computerized coin-flips. In some trials, subjects recorded their predictions in advance. In other trials, subjects were rewarded based on self-reported accuracy, allowing them to gain money ...

Gender Differences in Neural Mechanisms Underlying Moral Judgment of Disgust: A Functional MRI StudyGender Differences in Neural Mechanisms Underlying Moral Judgment of Disgust: A Functional MRI Study
Much recent research has sought to uncover the gender difference in neural mechanism of moral judgment; however, very few researches study the neural gender differences in a specific area of moral judgment. The aim of this functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study was to examine possible gender difference in neural response to (sexual) disgusting pictures versus neutral pictures. Seventeen participants (9 males) were scanned while viewing pictures of tactile intimacy in same-sex and being asked to evaluate whether the behaviors between the stimulus persons in the pictures were morally appropriate or not. Both the neural responses to pictures of tactile intimacy in same-sex between male participants and female participants and the neural response to pictures of male-male tactile intimacy and to pictures of female-female tactile intimacy were examined. The results showed that significantly increased differential activations to the disgusting pictures relative to the neutral pictures were observed

The aims of this thesis were to explore nurses experiences of stress in the ICU (I), to analyze experiences of moral concerns in intensive care nursing from the perspective of relational ethics (II), to describe the synthesis of the concept of moral stress and to identify preconditions for moral stress (III) and to analyse and describe lived experiences of support in situations characterized by critical care situations and moral stress in intensive care (IV).The design was exploratory and descriptive. Material in studies I, II and IV consisted of interviews with intensive care nurses (10 head nurses and 26 staff nurses) employed in general, thoracic and neonatal intensive care units in five hospitals located in different parts of Sweden. The material in study III data from two studies of professional issues in nursing were used for the analysis: one concerned psychiatric nursing and the other was the previously referred study I.In study I qualitative content analysis and descriptive ...

Mary Anne Warren explores a theoretical question which lies at the heart of practical ethics: what are the criteria for having moral status? In other words, what are the criteria for being an entity towards which people have moral obligations? Some philosophers maintain that there is one intrinsic property-for instance, life, sentience, humanity, or moral agency. Others believe that relational properties, such as belonging to a human community, are more important.
5.1 Moral Philosophy - Concepts and Distinctions | Introduction to Philosophy5.1 Moral Philosophy - Concepts and Distinctions | Introduction to Philosophy
The question at hand is about moral epistemology. How do we know what is right or wrong? What prompts our moral sentiments, our values, our actions? Are our moral assessments made on a purely rational basis, or do they stem from our emotional nature? There are contemporary philosophers who support each position, but we will return to some "old" friends we met in our unit on epistemology, Immanuel Kant and David Hume. They were hardly on the "same page" when it came to how and if we can know anything at all, and its hardly surprising that we find them at odds on what motivates moral choices, how we know what is right.. When we met Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) in our study of epistemology, we read passages from his Prolegomena to any Future Metaphysic (1783). In that work, he applied a slightly less intricate and perplexing presentation of topics from his masterwork on metaphysics and epistemology, the Critique of Pure Reason (1781). His next project involved application of his same rigorous ...

In this hard-hitting volume two dozen scholars, activists, military officers, and religious leaders call for an immediate end to the practice of torture, paying particular attention to its use in the American war on terror. Torture Is a Moral Issue begins with background material, including vivid firsthand accounts from a torture survivor and a former U.S. interrogator in Iraq. The heart of the book contains respectively Christian, Jewish, and Muslim arguments against torture, and the final part charts a way forward toward a solution, offering much principled yet practical advice. Included as an afterword is an interview with Darius Rejali, one of the worlds foremost experts on torture and democracy. Contributors: Taha Jabir Alalwani William T.

Research has consistently shown that people consider harmful side effects of an action more intentional than helpful side effects. This phenomenon is known as the side-effect effect (SEE), which refers to the influence of moral considerations in judgments of intentionality and other non-moral concepts. There is an ongoing debate about how to explain this asymmetric pattern of judgment and the psychological factors involved in it. It has been posited that affective reactions to agents that bring about harmful side-effects could bias intentionality attributions in these cases, explaining the asymmetric pattern of intentionality judgments that we observe in the SEE. We call this the affective bias hypothesis (ABH). Evidence for the ABH is mixed, with some findings suggesting a role for affective processes, while others suggesting that affective processes play no role in the SEE. A possible explanation for these apparently contradictory results points to affective processes involved in the SEE being

A new sociological agenda is emerging that interrogates how morality can be established in the absence of the moral certainties of the past but there is a shortage of empirical work on this topic. This article establishes a theoretical framework for the empirical analysis of everyday morality drawing on the work of theorists including Ahmed, Bauman and Taylor. It uses the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes to assess the state and shape of contemporary moralities by asking how kind are Australians, how is its expression socially distributed, and what are the motivations for kindness. The findings demonstrate that Australians exhibit a strong attachment and commitment to kindness as a moral value that is primarily motivated by interiorized sources of moral authority. We argue these findings support the work of theorists such as Ahmed and Taylor who argue authenticity and embodied emotion are legitimate sources of morality in todays secular societies. The research also provides new evidence ...

Kants Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals: A Commentary - Oxford ScholarshipKant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals: A Commentary - Oxford Scholarship
This book is a comprehensive commentary on Kants Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals (1785). It differs from most recent commentaries in paying special attention to the structure of the work, the historical context in which it was written, and the views to which Kant was responding. It argues that, despite its relative brevity, the Groundwork is the single most important work in modern moral philosophy and that its significance lies mainly in two closely related factors. The first is that it is here that Kant first articulates his revolutionary principle of the autonomy of the will, that is, the paradoxical thesis that moral requirements (duties) are self-imposed and that it is only in virtue of this that they can be unconditionally binding. The second is that for Kant all other moral theories are united by the assumption that the ground of moral requirements must be located in some object of the will (the good) rather than the will itself, which Kant terms heteronomy. Accordingly, what from the
Moral Action in the Face of Life-Threatening PregnanciesMoral Action in the Face of Life-Threatening Pregnancies
Recent high profile events the Gosnell trial and the septicemia of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland have again raised the question if abortion is ever acceptable, such as in attempts to save the life of the mother. There are at least two ways of thinking about such dilemmas in the Christian moral tradition. The first, which can be traced at least as far back as Thomas Aquinas, relies on the principle of double effect. The second, more familiar to the Lutheran communion, is the method of casuistry, the detailed study of all the factors and circumstances of a case in order to determine the correct course of action. At root, however, both ways can be complementary. When one gives attention to the details of a moral case, he may periodically find himself in a moral dilemma, wondering which action has moral authority. The principle of double effect is one way of discerning the right action. The principle of double effect relies on four sub-principles: 1) the act itself must not be intrinsically, ...
Sandwalk: Theistic Evolution: How Does God Do It?Sandwalk: Theistic Evolution: How Does God Do It?
In my view, we have to begin by separating that question into two aspects, which I call moral psychology (ie. why in fact do humans make the moral choices they do) and moral philosophy proper (ie. the attempt to systematize our moral behaviours, and justify them in terms of some consistent ethical theory; eg. utilitarianism, deontism, divine command, etc). Humans most of the time behave morally themselves, and make moral judgements about other people, without necessarily holding any articulated and consistent ethical theory. Its just something we do, because we have an instinctive understanding, mediated largely by emotions like anger, shame, compassion, and affection that we need to treat others in a certain way if we wish to go on living in society with them (few of us want to be hermits, or could survive long as such). Now heres the kicker: we are not the only animals to display moral behaviour (suggested reading: Frans de Wall). Other primates (and some non-primates) care for sick troup ...
Moral Distress in Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses Who Care for Infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome - Virginia Henderson...Moral Distress in Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses Who Care for Infants with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome - Virginia Henderson...
41st Biennial Convention) Moral distress has been defined as being the painful psychological disequilibrium that results from recognizing the appropriate action, yet not taking it because of some obstacle or constraint. Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses are thought to be at particular risk for moral distress due to the nature of this highly specialized nursing. Technological advances in the care of the newborn infants have been rapid and diverse, and often lead to extremely complex management of very ill infants who formerly would never have survived. More recently, NICU nurses are responsible for the care of babies with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) which creates numerous ethical and moral issues. Participants for this study are registered nurses who are assigned to work in a neonatal intensive care in a specialty licensed childrens hospital. A snowball, purposive sampling technique is being used to initiate contact with potential. Recruitment will continue until data saturation ...
Lawrence Kohlbergs stages of moral development - WikipediaLawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development - Wikipedia
The pre-conventional level of moral reasoning is especially common in children and animals, although adults can also exhibit this level of reasoning. Reasoners at this level judge the morality of an action by its direct consequences. The pre-conventional level consists of the first and second stages of moral development and is solely concerned with the self in an egocentric manner. A child with pre-conventional morality has not yet adopted or internalized societys conventions regarding what is right or wrong but instead focuses largely on external consequences that certain actions may bring.[9][10][11]. In Stage one (obedience and punishment driven), individuals focus on the direct consequences of their actions on themselves. For example, an action is perceived as morally wrong because the perpetrator is punished. "The last time I did that I got spanked, so I will not do it again." The worse the punishment for the act is, the more "bad" the act is perceived to be.[18] This can give rise to an ...
Games with Words: Slates Report on Hauser Borders on FraudGames with Words: Slate's Report on Hauser Borders on Fraud
Enjoying my fastest Wi-Fi connection in weeks here at the Heathrow Yotel, I finally found Slates take on scandal, subtitled What went wrong with Marc Hausers search for moral foundations. The article has a nice historical overview of Hausers work, in context, and neatly describes several experiments. The article is cagey, but you could be excused for believing that (a) Hauser has done a lot of moral cognition research with monkeys, and (b) that work was fraudulent. The only problem is that nobody, to my knowledge, has called Hausers moral cognition research into question -- in fact, most people have gone out of their way to say that that work (done nearly exclusively with humans) replicates very nicely. There was some concern about some work on intention-understanding in monkeys, which is probably a prerequisite for some types of moral cognition, but thats not the work one thinks of when talking about Hausers Moral Grammar hypothesis ...

This study investigates the possible effects of self-concept, self-monitoring, and moral development level on dimensions of consumers ethical attitudes. Actively benefiting from illegal activities, actively benefiting from deceptive practices, and no harm/no foul 1-2 are defined by factor analysis as four dimensions of Turkish consumers ethical attitudes. Logistic regression analysis is applied to data collected from 516 Turkish households. Results indicate that self-monitoring and moral development level predicted consumer ethics in relation to actively benefiting from questionable practices and no harm/no foul dimensions. Actual selfconcept is also a predictor variable in relation to no harm/ no foul dimension. Age and gender make significant differences in consumers ethical attribute dimensions ...
Making Light: Gerald Allen is stupider than dirtMaking Light: Gerald Allen is stupider than dirt
If homosexuality was OK, then everybody would want to be one.". haha! Thats like saying, "If Christianity was so great, everyone would want to be one." How confused!. A selfish frame might be "stoplights mean I can get to work faster because these morons cant get through a 4-way stop-sign.". Ive heard some studies that say 4 way stop signs improve the expediency of traffic movement more than traffic lights. So that frame may be flawed regardless... haha!!!. I voted based on moral values, sure. I believe in civil rights for gays. I believe in freedom of religion. I believe in privacy. I believe in free speech. These are my moral values.. Gerald Allen perhaps does believe that gay sex is more powerful than straight sex. After all, if someones religious beliefs are fear-based, rather than truly faith-based, naturally they would believe that anything depicted as "sinful" would be tempting. That would seem to indicate that if they said gay sex was okay, it would hold less power... so why dont ...
Assisted dying: its time to poll UK doctors | The BMJAssisted dying: it's time to poll UK doctors | The BMJ
As a medical ethicist, writes Ronald W. Pies (12 February), I am deeply troubled by the implication that life-and-death matters of medical praxis ought to be addressed by polling either physicians or the general public.. Medical organisations, he admits, do have an obligation to understand the views of their members but their primary responsibility is to inculcate and exemplify moral values, thereby setting appropriate standards for medical practice.. Dr Pies knows exactly where organisations can find the moral values they should inculcate. Assisted suicide, he writes, flies in the face of a fundamental tenet of Hippocratic medicine. And he quotes from a version of the Hippocratic Oath posted online: I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. No amount of polling data, says Dr Piries can countermand this timeless vow. What do we know about Hippocrates and his timeless vow? The late Roy Porter, the much respected ...
Business Ethics Case Study - Hcamat College ParkBusiness Ethics Case Study - Hcamat College Park
Business Ethics Concepts & Cases ABSTRACT Summary of the main points of the first two chapters in the book. The remaining chapters are application of the concepts summarized as relating to political forms of government and market systems. These further chapters are less relevant to the DBA class that this summary was prepared for. Chapter 1 - Ethics & Business Ethics is the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group. It is the study of morality. Morality are the standards that an individual or group has about what is right and wrong, or good and evil.. Moral norms can usually be expressed as general rules or statements, such as "Always tell the truth". Moral values can usually be expressed as statements describing objects or features of objects that have worth, such as "Honesty is good" and "Injustice is bad". Five characteristics can help pin down the nature of moral standards. 1. Moral standards deal with matters that we think can seriously injure or seriously benefit human ...
Philosophical Disquisitions: January 2014Philosophical Disquisitions: January 2014
The book is divided into five parts. The first part looks at the evolution of human morality. Starting out with the classic tragedy of the commons (distinct from Greenes own tragedy of commonsense morality), it reviews evidence relating to the various mechanisms humans have adopted to solve the tragedy. The second part builds upon this by looking more specifically at the neuro-psychology of moral decision-making. It is here that Greene introduces us to the well-known field of trolleyology, and reviews some of the studies he and others have done on the "dual-track" system of moral decision-making (an idea that will be familiar to anyone who has read Kahnemans Thinking Fast and Slow). The third part then switches focus from the facts of moral behaviour to the more traditional plain of normative moral philosophy. It proposes utilitarianism as the best candidate solution to the tragedy of commonsense morality. The fourth part then looks at a variety of challenges to utilitarianism. And the fifth ...
Neuromorality - WikipediaNeuromorality - Wikipedia
Neuromorality is an emerging field of neuroscience that studies the connection between morality and neuronal function. Scientists use fMRI and psychological assessment together to investigate the neural basis of moral cognition and behavior. Evidence shows that the central hub of morality is the prefrontal cortex guiding activity to other nodes of the neuromoral network. A spectrum of functional characteristics within this network to give rise to both altruistic and psychopathological behavior. Evidence from the investigation of neuromorality has applications in both clinical neuropsychiatry and forensic neuropsychiatry. The main brain regions that are involved in the regulation of moral cognition and behavior are those of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala. Less pronounced areas that are involved in moral regulation include the anterior cingulate gyrus, posterior cingulate gyrus, anterior ...

Seven Moral Arguments for Free Trade | Cato InstituteSeven Moral Arguments for Free Trade | Cato Institute
The Bush Administration is sending contradictory signals on the issue of free trade. In March, President Bush announced measures to protect the U.S. steel industry from foreign competition. In May he signed a farm bill that inflates subsidies for U.S. "agribusinesses" and distorts global trade. But in a speech in May of last year before the Council of the Americas, President Bush joined the moral debate, telling his audience, "Open trade is not just an economic opportunity, it is a moral imperative. Trade creates jobs for the unemployed. When we negotiate for open markets, we are providing new hope for the worlds poor. And when we promote open trade, we are promoting political freedom. Societies that open to commerce across their borders will open to democracy within their borders, not always immediately, and not always smoothly, but in good time.". Western moral thought provides a solid foundation for pursuing a policy of economic openness. Drawing on that tradition, here are seven moral ...
Halfbakery: New Morals For StoriesHalfbakery: New Morals For Stories
Over the generations, uncountable tales have been told with a didactic purpose - many, like Aesops fables (and practically every US TV show Ive ever seen (as well as increasing numbers of UK TV shows)) have an explicit moral at the end.. Trouble is, many of these morals are patronising, outdated, wrong or just plain boring. It would be a shame to throw out hundreds of good stories just because the moral doesnt appeal to us, so why not find another one fitting the tale which is more appropriate?. Take the story of the sword of Damocles. Its a masterfully constructed, taut psychodrama, but is let down for me by the message of the story - essentially, that power has its price. What an anticlimax - surely everybody knows that by now. My preferred moral of the story is that you shouldnt let an inconsiderate host spoil a good meal.

CounterPunch.org The Moral Hazards of Capitalism - CounterPunch.orgCounterPunch.org The Moral Hazards of Capitalism - CounterPunch.org
In the worlds of insurance and finance, moral hazard is said to exist when one party to a contract or transaction feels free to take undue risks because another party will bear the costs if things go badly. The classic example is an insurance policy that protects against all loss or damage to property, and thus inclines the policy holder to treat the property carelessly, knowing that the insurer will pay in full for replacement or repair. Avoiding moral hazard is the alleged purpose of deductibles and co-pays. If insurees are on the hook for part of the costs of their risky behavior, the logic goes, they will take fewer risks and not exploit the insurer.. The idea of moral hazard gained public currency when critics of the banking industry used it to explain the financial meltdown of 2008. Deregulation, they said, created a condition of moral hazard that led to irresponsible behavior by all the powerful actors in the system.. Commercial banks had incentive to make risky mortgage loans because ...

EWTN.com - Bilateral tubal ligationEWTN.com - Bilateral tubal ligation
Dear Ona. I submitted your question to ob/gyn Anthony Dardano, MD and here is his response:. While I certainly agree this delivery should be via cesarean section, I strongly disagree that future pregnancies are dangerous. Over the years I have performed multiple repeat cesareans on the same patient without any problem at all. Modern surgical techniques with absorbable suture material really place no limit on the number of pregnancies a uterus can support. The danger comes with possible rupture with the force of labor contractions and that is why I stated that repeat cesarean section is the indicated delivery route.. Tubal ligation is never morally permissible for the direct intention of preventing pregnancy. This is a moral principle which cannot be violated. Pray to Our Lady to guide you in making this important moral decision.. May God bless you. Anthony N Dardano, MD, FACS, FACOG ...

Beyond Selflessness: Reading Nietzsches <i>Genealogy</i> - Oxford ScholarshipBeyond Selflessness: Reading Nietzsche's <i>Genealogy</i> - Oxford Scholarship
This book presents a full commentary on Nietzsches On the Genealogy of Morality and combines close reading of key passages with an overview of Nietzsches wider aims. It argues that Nietzsches practice of genealogy pursues psychological and historical truths concerning the origins of modern moral values, but also emphasizes the significance of his rhetorical methods as an instrument of persuasion. Nietzsches outlook is broadly one of naturalism, but he is critical of typical scientific and philosophical methods for their advocacy of impersonality and suppression of the affects. Nietzsches principal opponents are Schopenhauer and Paul Rée, both of whom account for morality in terms of selflessness. Nietzsche believes that our allegiance to a post-Christian morality that centres around selflessness, compassion, guilt, and denial of the instincts is not primarily rational but affective: underlying feelings, often ambivalent and poorly grasped in conscious thought, explain our moral beliefs. The
On Moral Hazard in Health Insurance | Improving public understanding of insuranceOn Moral Hazard in Health Insurance | Improving public understanding of insurance
As we look ahead to tonights State of the Union address, I.I.I. chief actuary Jim Lynch brings us a book review on the perennial issue of health insurance:. When Target wants to sell more shirts, it puts them on sale. The retailer knows that the less something costs, the more likely you are to buy it.. Health care is more complicated, in no small part because the customer is buying something he or she would rather not need. If your doctor halved the fee for open-heart surgery, for example, you wouldnt submit to it twice.. For other procedures, the situation is murkier. Most people would submit to an extra blood stick to ensure they were disease-free, particularly if somebody else (read: the insurance company) paid the bill.. To an economist, the possibility that consumers run up a tab on health insurers is a moral hazard. Another moral hazard is the tendency of insured people to smoke and eat more, because someone else will pay for the resulting maladies. Both were an important points in Moral ...

Ranking Inequality: Applications of Multivariate Subset SelectionRanking Inequality: Applications of Multivariate Subset Selection
Downloadable! Inequality measures are often presented in the form of a rank ordering to highlight their relative magnitudes. However, a rank ordering may produce misleading inference, because the inequality measures themselves are statistical estimators with different standard errors, and because a rank ordering necessarily implies multiple comparisons across all measures. Wityhin this setting, if differences between several inequality measures are *simultaneously* and statistically insignificant, the interpretation of the ranking is changed. This study uses a multivariate subset selection procedure to make simultaneous distinctions across inequality measures at a pre-specified confidence level. Three applications of this procedure are explored using country-level data from the Luxembourg Income Study. The findings show that simultaneous precision plays an important role in relative inequality comparisons and should not be ignored.
Understanding Society: The moral sentimentsUnderstanding Society: The moral sentiments
In fact, there seems to be a new surge of interest in the topic. A number of philosophers and psychologists are now interested in treating moral psychology as an empirical question, and they are interested in working back to the evolutionary environment in which these human capacities emerged. (For example, Richard Joyce, The Evolution of Morality and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, ed., Moral Psychology, Volume 1: The Evolution of Morality: Adaptations and Innateness.) Particularly interesting is research by Michael Tomasello and his collaborators. Tomasello is the co-director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology. He argues that human beings are hardwired for cooperation, empathy, and social intensionality in a very interesting recent book, Why We Cooperate. A great deal of his research has to do with experiments and observations of human children (9-24 months) and of young non-human primates. He finds, essentially, that infants and children display a range of behaviors that seem ...
Doctor of medicine profession (MD) - STD dating site reviewsDoctor of medicine profession (MD) - STD dating site reviews
American Nurses Association Code of Ethics Established standards in medical ethics can help working professionals manage any number of thorny issues. For instance, patients are vulnerable by definition, and this can create an imbalance of power in the physician-patient relationship. Advances in medical science continually pose ethical questions , such as the morality of stem cell research. Life expectancies have increased by decades over the past century, raising moral dilemmas about end-of-life care and euthanasia.. These professional guidelines may seem to address larger moral issues, but they are also helpful on a case-by-case basis. Healthcare practitioners must continually strive for balance between the needs of an individual patient and the greater needs of a medical facility or community. This can include factoring in available resources, be they medications or empty hospital beds.. Costs should never impact a medical professionals decision about patient care, but doctors face pressure ...

We have only one question for Rachel Held Evans on this point: What type of contraception are you referring to? Preventative or abortifacient? While there are many who oppose the usage of contraceptives on moral grounds, contraception is in a different camp than abortion because contraception is meant to prevent the conception of a human being, whereas abortifacients take the life of an unborn human being after it has begun. So even if someone has moral issues with contraception, we should not enforce that moral position in law. We should enforce the moral position that abortion is wrong and should be illegal in law because taking a life is still wrong, even if someone doesnt believe they are actually taking a life (by way of analogy, we should still make infanticide illegal even though there are those who believe infanticide is morally licit and may want to take the life of their infant under certain conditions). Such non-abortifacient contraceptive methods should be accessible and affordable. ...

Or does immoral behavior such as violence and theft make the game any more or less enjoyable? The article "Mirrored Morality: An Exploration of Moral Choice in Video Games" published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers examines these types of questions. The article is available free online on the Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking website.. Andrew Weaver and Nicky Lewis, Indiana University, Bloomington, studied how players make moral choices in video games and what effects those choices have on their emotional responses to the games. In general, players tended to make "moral" decisions and to treat game characters as though they were actual people. Although behaving in antisocial ways was associated with greater guilt, it did not affect player enjoyment.. "Although preliminary, these results point to the utility of games as teaching and educational tools, as well as important tools for the assessment ...

It can be challenging deciding how to resolve personal and professional dilemmas, and the dilemmas that athletic trainers and athletic therapists experience are no different, if not more complex, than the dilemmas other health care professionals experience. The moral behaviors individuals demonstrate with these dilemmas come from their experiences; however, moral beliefs may not always coincide with professional obligations and ethics. The purpose of this article is to examine factors that influence decision making for athletic trainers and athletic therapists to identify and describe policies for guiding moral behaviors in the workplace. These key policies include education in ethical decision making, developing a workplace code of conduct, communicating policies regarding professional behaviors, appraising accepted values and behaviors in the workplace, and investigating possible ethical violations and applying appropriate sanctions. ...

Judgments10
  • It is also true that, on some understandings, moral reasoning directed towards deciding what to do involves forming judgments about what one ought, morally, to do. (stanford.edu)
  • This discovery has important consequences for our globalized world, as many individuals make moral judgments in both native and foreign languages," said Boaz Keysar , professor of psychology at UChicago. (uchicago.edu)
  • Despite recurring interest in the potential for affect to influence "rational" reasoning, in particular the effect of emotion on moral judgments, legal scholars and social scientists have conducted far less empirical research directly testing such questions than might be expected. (wordpress.com)
  • Thus, to bring the legal academic discussion into the realm of the empirical, and to provide further data on the question of affective influences on moral and legal decision-making, I conducted two experimental studies examining mood's influence on moral judgments. (wordpress.com)
  • To find out which of these complementary systems people use in making moral judgments, the researchers conducted an online study featuring 119 participants (the vast majority of whom were Australians). (psmag.com)
  • These findings suggest that political orientation is associated with the degree to which a person relies on either emotional/intuitive or logically reasoned processes while making moral judgments," the researchers conclude. (psmag.com)
  • They conclude there is no evidence one group is "more adept at, or better suited to, arriving at accurate or appropriate moral judgments. (psmag.com)
  • It has been a decade since the first brain imaging studies of moral judgments by Joshua Greene, Jorge Moll and their colleagues were reported. (ieet.org)
  • During this time, there have been rich philosophical and scientific discussions regarding a) whether brain imaging data can tell us anything about moral judgments, and b) what they do tell us if they can tell us something about moral judgments. (ieet.org)
  • Should the research on moral psychology be interpreted as suggesting new approaches for improving, or perhaps enhancing, moral intuitions, attitudes, judgments, and behavior or for reforming social institutions? (ieet.org)

  • Philosophical moral reflection might lead one to behave more morally permissibly but no morally better . (blogspot.com)
  • The idea here is that philosophical moral reflection might lead one to avoid morally impermissible behavior while also reducing the likelihood of doing any more than is strictly morally required. (blogspot.com)
  • Without that moral reflection, they would behave morally worse than the average person, but moral reflection helps them behave better than they otherwise would. (blogspot.com)
  • For the simplicity of a first-pass analysis of moral weight, let's assume a variation on classical utilitarianism according to which the only thing that morally matters is the moment-by-moment character of a being's conscious experience. (issarice.com)
  • Given those assumptions, when we talk about the relative 'moral weight' of different species, we mean to ask something like 'How morally important is 10 seconds of a typical human's experience of [some injury], compared to 10 seconds of a typical rainbow trout's experience of [that same injury]? (issarice.com)

  • Findings suggest that people with schizophrenia focus equally on outcomes across moral-judgement conditions that ought normally to elicit an outcome-action discrepancy, suggesting that they are less influenced by an automatic aversive response to harmful acts in dilemma scenarios, consistent with a dual-process model of moral judgement. (edu.au)
Virtues1
