The Intentional Ethics: Next Steps for Implementing Ethical Frameworks in Local Public Health curriculum will be facilitated in an abbreviated format at this pre-conference session. Developed by Michigans Capital Region Ethics Committee, the training enables local public health ethics committees to build on existing ethics knowledge and deepen understanding of the ethical analysis framework. The training uses a fictional case involving Hepatitis A and a food service worker to illustrate this framework in action. It simulates an event that spans multiple counties, requiring a multi-jurisdictional response. By integrating theoretical concepts, group activities, and an opportunity to complete an ethical analysis using the fictional case, participants will gain fluency with philosophical concepts in ethical analysis frameworks, experience practicing ethical analysis processes, and readiness to embed ethical thinking in all policies. The training also builds local health department capacity to ...

Research in the intensive care unit (ICU) is commonly thought to pose serious risk to study participants. This perception may be at the root of a variety of impediments to the conduct of clinical trials in the ICU setting. Component analysis offers a promising approach to the ethical analysis of ICU research. Because clinical trials commonly involve a mixture of study interventions, therapeutic and nontherapeutic procedures must be analyzed separately. Therapeutic procedures must meet the requirement of clinical equipoise. Risks associated with nontherapeutic procedures must be minimized consistent with sound scientific design, and be deemed reasonable in relation to the knowledge to be gained. When research involves a vulnerable population, such as adults incapable of providing informed consent, nontherapeutic risks are limited to a minor increase over minimal risk. Understood in this way, the incremental risk posed by participation in ICU research may be minimal. This realization has important
The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.. The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of Georges situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Bahai, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.. In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.. In a minimum of 2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the ...

This paper examines the ethical aspects of organ transplant surgery in which a donor heart is transplanted from a first recipient, following determination of death by neurologic criteria, to a second recipient. Retransplantation in this sense differs from that in which one recipient undergoes repeat heart transplantation of a newly donated organ, and is thus referred to here as

More. This book offers a comprehensive legal and ethical analysis of the most interesting and broadest reaching development in health care of the last twenty years: its globalization. This book ties together the manifestation of this globalization in four related subject areas-medical tourism, medical migration (the physician brain drain), telemedicine, pharmaceutical research and development-and integrates them in a philosophical discussion of issues of justice and equity relating to the globalization of health care. Medical tourism and telemedicine are growing, multi-billion-dollar industries affecting large numbers of patients. Estimates show that more than 400,000 patients (50,000 of whom were American) sought treatment at a single facility in Thailand in 2005. The U.S. heavily depends on ...
Despite empirical evidence that cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is of questionable effectiveness in elders with comorbidities, it continues to hold a unique place in the armamentarium of life-sustaining treatments in that consent for CPR is implied and, when needed, is administered emergently. These conditions of implied consent and emergency implementation often preclude an opportunity for patients/surrogates, in conjunction with their nurses and physicians, to determine the appropriateness of the intervention, given the patients medical and functional status. Healthcare providers who perform CPR on elderly patients often find themselves in morally distressing circumstances because of their anecdotal knowledge of poor outcomes and realization that a multitude of barriers has precluded an anticipatory discussion regarding appropriateness of the treatment. Nurses and other healthcare providers must take the lead in helping patients/surrogates appreciate the meaning of CPR as a ...
by Dominic Wilkinson and Julian Savulescu. On the 24th July 2017, the long-running, deeply tragic and emotionally fraught case of Charlie Gard reached its sad conclusion (Box 1). Following further medical assessment of the infant, Charlies parents and doctors finally reached agreement that continuing medical treatment was not in Charlies best interests. It is expected that life support will be withdrawn in the days ahead.. Over the course of multiple hearings at different levels of the court in both London and Strasbourg, the Charlie Gard case has raised a number of vexed ethical questions (Box 2). The important role of practical ethics in cases like this is to help clarify the key concepts, identify central ethical questions, separate them from questions of scientific fact and subject arguments to critical scrutiny. We have disagreed about the right course of action for Charlie Gard,1 2 but we agree on the key ethical principles as well as the role of ethical analysis and the importance of ...
Medical ethics has had a rich and complex history over the past 40 years. It has been transformed from a rather clear and straightforward set of rules and attitudes, shaped largely by the medical profession itself, into a major field of academic and social inquiry. Contemporary work in medical ethics can be divided into three parts: ethical analysis and arguments of large-scale issues in science, practice and policy (such as consideration of the ethical issues concerning cloning or resource allocation); theoretical inquiry into the foundations of medical ethics; and practical analysis of particular dilemmas in clinical practice. This last area in medical ethics is normally referred to as clinical ethics, and is in many respects the most important and vibrant part of medical ethics today. It lives through its intimate connection with clinical practice and medical and healthcare education, the ways in which suggestions made by practitioners of clinical ethics are rapidly tested in clinical ...

Chervenak and McCullough see this point of view as simplifying the whole abortion debate because it prevents ethical analysis of induced abortion and feticide in medical ethics from being paralyzed by divisive debates about a fetal right to life that have been going on for decades, indeed centuries, without any basis for resolution. They state, The ethical concept of the fetus as a patient does not require appeal to the discourse of fetal rights.. Thus the article quickly disregards that all-important line from the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Note that the Declaration did not say born equal, but created equal. There can be no dispute that the creation of a unique human life occurs at the moment when an egg is fertilized, not at the moment of birth. Thus human rights begin even ...
Much of Elsters writing is characterized by attempts to use analytical theories, especially rational choice theory, as a springboard for philosophical and ethical analysis, with numerous examples from literature and history. Elster has made important contributions to several fields, Daniel Little wrote in a review essay. The breadth and depth of his writings are striking in a time of high specialisation; he is read and discussed by political scientists,legal scholars, economists and philosophers. His work is difficult to summarise in a slogan, but ... it is generally informed by a broad and deep acquaintance with relevant literature in economics, political science, history, philosophy, and psychology.[4] A student of the philosophy of social science (a topic he investigated through case studies in Explaining Technical Change), Elster strongly argued that social scientific explanations had to be built on top of methodological individualism (the belief that only individuals, not larger ...
Code of Ethics for Nurses is the definitive framework for ethical analysis and decision-making for RNs across all practice levels, roles and settings.
All life depends on Earths natural resources. In a tragic paradox, human beings are extracting needed, non-renewable resources at a rate that will exhaust the supply for future generations. It is imprudent to place all hope in a technological solution to this paradox. A change in human behavior will have to accompany any realistic attempt to preserve and protect Earths precious natural resources. Meeting this challenge must begin with a thorough understanding of the science behind natural resources. Similarly, any proposed actions will require careful ethical analysis and spiritual reflection. As with every topic in Healing Earth, natural resources must be approached from the standpoint of an integral ecology--a standpoint that integrates science, ethics, spirituality, and action.. ...
At one university incoming undergraduate students are invited or expected to take part in discussions about the relationship between consumption and poverty. The tone of the invitation issued to the incoming students makes it fairly clear (to me) that the students who participate in these discussions will be led to question the uprightness of modern American consumerist society.. I am all in favor of ethical analysis in the university. But Im much less in favor of hortatory ethical instruction in the university. I am also opposed to prejudging answers to (ostensible) questions that do not have a self-evident answers.. Value-free analysis of political, social, legal, ethical, and moral questions may well be impossible. But doesnt it still make sense to try to create an academic atmosphere that encourages free inquiry, an atmosphere that does not frown on heretical conclusions ...
Professor Moriggl is a Specialist in Anatomy, particularly interested in Clinical Anatomy. Most of the research he has done (over 70 original articles so far) was and is related to this discipline of anatomy. Professor Moriggl started his University career in 1986 in Innsbruck and has done ultrasonography ever since. Some of Professor Moriggls former scholars are practically concerned with ultrasonography. Professor Moriggl has had clinical training, especially in diagnostic imaging. This practical background was the starting point of his constantly increasing engagement in regional anesthesia and pain medicine. In 2008 he has become one of the founding members of a Special Interest Group for Ultrasound in Pain Medicine within the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine and is now its Educational Director. Apart from scientific publications he has done numerous contributions for books and booklets on regional anesthesia and pain medicine (e.g. Practical Guide by Vincent Chan ...
The difference in this argument and one that actually has something to compare, a base line from which to work, should be obvious. The atheist who argues for Carriers idea must forge his own base line by setting up a straw man (um, God) and then privileging his assumptions about the nature of religion in such a way that he just nixes the possibly of any other kind of theology. Thats not a real comparison. The fine tuning argument can compare fine tuning to lack thereof, compare target levels to the actual mark that is hit. The contingency arguments (quantum and other forms of cosmology) can compare contingency to necessity. Religious experience arguments are drawn from the results of experience, they compare experience to non experience. The two instances in which I do use design arguments are those in which comparisons can be made between the nature of the world and state of existence known to lack that attribute as known non designed reality; the use of the God Pod as evoking innate ideas. ...
Myths vs. Facts in Global Warming: This news and analysis section addresses substance of arguments such as global warming is a hoax, global warming is a fiction, global warming is created to make money for Al Gore. The main fallacy noted is that most arguments are facts out of context while others are simply false representations. When the facts pertaining to the arguments are viewed in context relevance becomes obvious. The data clearly indicates global warming is happening and is human caused. At this time in the natural cycle Earth should be slightly cooling on trend, leading into what would have been the next ice age. Instead Earth is warming. There is no valid evidence that can prove otherwise. False representations or facts out of context are not a proof of any kind, they are merely incorrect.
There have been protests against fracking in the US and the same arguments are now being made here. Fracking pollutes the groundwater - peoples drinking water is at risk. Fracking causes earthquakes. Fracking uses vast amounts of water, some of which is recovered and is polluted. Some of the pollution arguments are difficult to support. Yes, in the US some people have turned on the tap and been able to light a stream of gas bubbling out of the water. The question is whether this is due to fracking or is naturally occurring. Fracking, which involves driving high-pressure water, chemicals and sand into shale beds to split them apart and release gas, takes place 650m - 800m below the level where drinking water is extracted [British Geological Survey], so its unlikely to affect it. There are certainly concerns about water in general. Yes, fracking does use vast amounts of water in the initial stages and this is usually trucked in. Constant lorry movements will be a major impact on local ...

Which sounds convincing until you realise that Hughes has engaged in a rather selective reading of the evidence at hand. It is true that there are some cross country regression analyses that show that aid has little impact on economic growth2. However - and you wont read this in Hughes polemic - the majority of recent empirical evidence actually shows the opposite: that aid does have a positive impact on growth (Ive written more about this here, theres a good discussion of recent research here, a summary of much of the positive research here [PDF]3). Ive noted elsewhere my scepticism of cross country regression analyses and I think they are a particularly problematic tool in assessing aid effectiveness. So my intent here is not so much to use the positive studies of aid effectiveness to make the case for aid, but rather to simply point out that people such as Hughes who cite empirical research in their arguments are telling less than half the story. Another strategy employed by people who ...
1. Dawkins describes religious belief as due entirely to faith and almost entirely inherited from ones parents, scientific belief as due to rational and skeptical investigation. In doing that, he is implicitly comparing the average religious believer with the professional scientist--indeed, with the upper end of professional scientists. The average believer in evolution or relativity or whatever is no more able to provide a convincing account of the evidence and arguments for his position than the average religious believer--both of them hold their beliefs not because of rational investigation but because the people around them told them those things were true. And religious leaders, at least some of them, offer arguments for their positions which are based on more than just faith, whether or not those arguments are correct--offer the evidence of miracles, rational arguments such as those of Aquinas, and the like. Its true that there is more rehashing of old arguments and less new ...
UPDATE: Let me add a word about the fact that Alito has taken various positions as a legal advocate and not simply as a private individual. Arent his ideas about abortion, expressed in legal writing, as an advocate, something that relate to abortion rights and not simply to abortion? An advocate has a goal in mind and, in pursuit of this goal, searches for legal arguments that might persuade a court. What an advocate does with legal texts and arguments is different from what a judge does. Advocates dont really think their arguments are the best answers, just that they are professionally arguable and would produce the desired results. If you asked the advocate to be honest and say what he would decide if he were the judge, assuming this advocate was honest and ethical, he would often admit that he would reject his own argument. Thus, Alito can properly distinguish the arguments he supported as an advocate with the goal of overturning abortion rights from the opinions he would reach as a judge ...
This journal has built its reputation, in part, on the value of airing differences. This commitment is based on a belief in the potential for discussion in which the presuppositions and conditions of argument are carefully and clearly exposed to offer the optimal opportunity for advancing understanding. My own particular theoretical predilection is for the pragmatist approach developed by Richard Rorty, in which privileged claims to knowing are abandoned in favor of emergent understandings through dialogue. The problems under consideration here-the source and status of traumatic memory and the appropriate therapeutic response-demand such an approach.. My faith in our capacity to advance understanding and consensus has certainly been sorely tested in the experience of this exchange, particularly with the commentary written by Frederick Crews. Any reader of his critique will be struck, I believe, by the menace and scale of his attack and by an avowed indifference to dialogue; there is nothing ...
This book introduces readers to the many arguments and controversies concerning abortion. While it argues for ethical and legal positions on the issues, it focuses on how to think about the issues, not just what to think about them. It is an ideal resource to improve your understanding of what people think, why they think that and whether their (and your) arguments are good or bad, and why. Its ideal for classroom use, discussion groups, organizational learning, and personal reading. -/- (...) From the Preface -/- To many people, abortion is an issue for which discussions and debates are frustrating and fruitless: it seems like no progress will ever be made towards any understanding, much less resolution or even compromise. -/- Judgments like these, however, are premature because some basic techniques from critical thinking, such as carefully defining words and testing definitions, stating the full structure of arguments so each step of the reasoning can be examined, and comparing the strengths ...

Closing arguments are underway in the trial of Gerald Stanley, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Colten Boushie.
Politics is an extension of war by other means. Arguments are soldiers. Once you know which side youre on, you must support all arguments of that side, and attack all arguments that appear to favor the enemy side; otherwise its like stabbing your soldiers in the back - providing aid and comfort to the enemy. People who would be level-headed about evenhandedly weighing all sides of an issue in their professional life as scientists, can suddenly turn into slogan-chanting zombies when theres a Blue or Green position on an issue ...
Are you seriously saying that oil is gong to remain at the current low prices for the next 22 years though? It seems to me that your arguments seem to be focused around this magical low oil price syndrome now seemingly so common by members on this forum. With the production caps now in place, and the world slowly ramping back up, oil price will rise quite substantially in my opinion - not to $60-70 a barrel mind you, but substantially enough that arguments on low oil price/just keep using older aircraft thinking will gp out the window fairly quickly. It certainly wont take very long to consume the oil that is in currently in storage. Then what.....are you expecting it still to be $20-$30 a barrel??? As has been mentioned, your arguments are really all over the place trying to somehow prove that everything you are putting forward it somehow definitive, yet are only speculation/assumption ...

Since we want to understand the range of possible phenotypic variations in different animals development we have decided to use modelling approaches. Our models take as inputs these gene networks and the initial distribution of cells in space (in a given stage in development) and provide as a result the final organ morphology and patterns of gene expression in a given organ (in a given, latter, stage of development).. Each model is simply a mathematical implementation of a hypothesis about how an organ develops. We construct these hypotheses, based on experimental work from other groups, and implement them in a computational model. The advantage of computational models in respect to merely verbal arguments is that the models provide precise quantitative predictions that are more easily to unambigously compare with experimental results (from new experiments aimed at testing the hypothesis). Merely verbal arguments are more difficult to be proven wrong or right and get even difficult to express ...
In a healthy relationship, disagreement never equals division. You never position or treat your partner as the problem; the problem (financial stress, changing sexual needs, misbehaving children, etc.) is the problem. Your partner is your ally against it, not your enemy. In a healthy relationship, while you may not agree on the solution, you remain united against the problem. If you cant, then the problem is much deeper than an inability to communicate effectively; the foundation of the relationship itself is in trouble, lacking the sustainers necessary for it be resilient in the face of your differing points of view.. When disagreement always lead to arguments, the arguments are never about the disagreement. To prevent lasting damage to the relationship, you need to clear space, time and opportunity just for you to safely and openly discuss your feelings, not to agree with each other or even to solve the problem, but to truly hear and be heard by each other. (Again, if you cant do this, you ...
The connection between Japanese and Altaic has been refined somewhat since it was first suggested almost 150 years ago. In 1857, the Viennese man Anton Boller proposed that Japanese was descended from the Ural-Altaic group of languages (Miller 1986, 34). Since that time, linguistic research has split that group into the Uralic and the Altaic families. Most Western scholars have dropped the theories that maintain Uralic in the family tree of Japanese, so that Altaic remains in the forefront. However, a few such as Kazár (1980) still fight for Uralic. As support, he cites the vowel harmony among Japanese, Turk, and Old Korean, as well as other languages. However, Korean is not valid for his argument, since no one knows whether it is a Uralic language or not; Kazár here relies on faulty support. Moreover, vowel harmony fuels the Altaic theory just as well. Although Kazár uses exhaustive specific examples, his arguments are nearly identical to the ones that support the Altaic theory. And adding ...
In their paper published in the journal Nature Chemistry, the team describes how they were able to map reactions that produced two and three-carbon sugars, amino acids, ribonucleotides and glycerol-the material necessary for metabolism and for creating the building blocks of proteins and ribonucleic acid molecules and also for allowing for the creation of lipids that form cell membranes.. Scientists have debated for years the various possibilities that could have led to life evolving on Earth, and the arguments have only grown more heated in recent years as many have suggested that it did not happen here it all, instead, it was brought to us from comets or some other celestial body. Most of the recent debate has found scientists in one of three chicken-or-the-egg first camps: RNA world advocates, metabolism-first supporters and those who believe that cell membranes must have developed first.. The chemists with this new effort believe they have found a way to show that all three arguments are ...
This really is a controversial topic. There is always a controversy which drug is more dangerous; some people say Cannabis is more dangerous than LSD and there are people who strongly disagree with it. Like there is always an argument about Meth and Heroin. Which one is the most dangerous? But all these arguments are pointless as all these drugs cause physical harm and their overall impact on society is really bad. So theres no point arguing and fighting for the worst! Point to be noted, many researches suggest- Tobacco and Alcohol are more dangerous than many illegal and infamous drugs ...
In this case, no argument is needed to m220a-DataReader.ck because the data filenames are coded in the content of the second file. Since no arguments are passed to m220a-DataReader.ck, it handles only the reading in files part, while all data-to-sound mappings are defined in m220a-Player.ck. Also note the syntax: we shred multiple chuck files in the terminal by separating them with a space.. m220a-duo.ck demonstrates how to play both data files at the same time but on different audio channels.. Important: you need to modify the dataDir variable to have the paths point to where youve downloaded the data files on your computer.. ...
We are what we are eating. It is an old saying which tells it all - our nutrition is the next most important thing to the air we breathe and the water we drink. The last two arguments are the ones going without saying, as we know it beyond the shadow of a doubt that polluted air or poor water can be as bad for our health as some broadly known toxic chemicals. However, it is not the case with our nutrition. Many people not quite yet understand the significance of what we are taking in on the daily basis. Not only in terms of the food chemical composure, but also as a correct, balanced system of life support ...
For me, this parable is clear. If we, the Next Generation of Muslims in America, continues to allow ourselves to be persuaded from pursuing a course we know to be right, then we will have no one to blame but ourselves when were faced with harsh consequences. We cannot allow ourselves to be turned aside - no matter how well intended the Old Guard is; no matter how intimidating their arguments are; no matter how much they lay claim to authority. History is a powerful force: it molds and shapes our sensibilities. History can also render itself nearly invisible by which our prerogatives and proclivities can come to seem so second nature that change can be hard to come by particularly when we cannot envision a reality without them. Certainly the case we see before us is none other than this very same conundrum. And we should take comfort in the knowledge that God is the Shaper of human history. The very same history that has disarmed our uncles, and aunties, our mothers and our fathers, has bestowed ...

A week on from results day, arguments are still raging about whether some A levels are easier than others. Although ministers apparently feel honour-bound to insist that they are all equally difficult, Carol Fitz-Gibbon cites authoritative research to confirm what any sixth-former knows: that whatever the pass rates say, standards vary. Teenagers pick courses according to their ability as well as their interests. The rise of non-traditional A levels, such as photography and communications, may cause long-term problems for the supply of teachers in declining subjects such as physics and French. But what did ministers expect once schools started offering a wider menu? Indeed, what would have been the point if everyone had carried on as before? The new and much larger generation of sixth-formers was unlikely to have the same academic interests and talents as their highly selected predecessors. Admissions officers are well aware of the differences between A levels and can vary their offers ...
