The Principle of Double Effect

/in /by

Please apply the principle of double-effect to both cases below. Explain the ways in which they do or do not fulfill the four criteria, and therefore either are or are not justified according to Natural Law. This means that you have to analyze the four criteria of Thomas Aquinas double effect theory and apply it to the cases. Please don’t use fancy words!!! Make it understandable. Here are some websites that will help you with the work, but feel free to find whatever helps you the most. Use 2 or 3 references.

Here are the cases:

  1. A young woman who is four months pregnant has recently discovered that she has tuberculosis. The doctor informs her that she must take a drug that will cure her disease, but that the drug will also have the effect of aborting the fetus. There is no other available drug that will cure her disease, and if she does not take the drug immediately she will die. According to natural law, may the young woman take the drug?
  2. In the process of attempting to deliver a fetus, a physician discovers that the fetus is hydrocephalic. The fetus’s large cranium makes a normal vaginal delivery impossible; both the woman and fetus would die in the attempt. Neither the mother nor the fetus would survive a cesarean section, so the only way to save the mother’s life is to crush the skull of the fetus (craniotomy), thus rendering a vaginal delivery of the stillborn fetus possible. Would such a procedure be justified by natural law?

“Sleazy in Seattle”

/in /by

After reading “Sleazy in Seattle”, please comment here to each of the following questions. These questions are taken directly from the article and your answers should refer to the article and to your text reading as appropriate.
1.How does the behavior of the attorneys at Bogle and Gates raise concerns about legal ethics in this case? Include specific examples from the discovery process.
2.What do you think of the attorney’s duty to “zealously advocate” for their clients in this case? Do you agree with the experts that the behavior of the law firm was appropriate and responsible, or do you agree with Washington State Supreme Court’s interpretation, and why?
3.Reflect on your course “Ethical Reasoning in Business,” You likely can at least appreciate these five values:
Autonomy: a person’s ability to govern herself and to order her own life (as the ethicists say, to be an ‘end in herself’) implies that she must not be used as a means to an end that she did not choose (most closely associated with deontology)
Non-pain/Pleasure: a person’s capacity to experience pain or pleasure implies that I must not cause him pain unnecessarily (most closely associated with utilitarianism)
Equality: a person must not be regarded or treated as inferior to or superior to other persons

Assignment: Given any connected, weighted graph G, use Dijkstras algorithm to compute the shortest (or smallest weight) path from any vertex a to any other vertex b in the graph G. You may print the results of this algorithm to the screen or to a log file. Your solution should be complete in that it shows the shortest path from all starting vertices to all other vertices. Complete the exercises below, then submit your code files and your exercise worksheet, and all supporting documents to Canvas before beginning the written portion of the final exam. You may use an external source as a reference for Dijkstras shortest path algorithms, please cite accordingly.

Externality

/in /by

Externalities are costs or benefits that are caused by producing or consuming a good but that are not included in the market price for the good. They are simply the unintended side effects of market activities. Externalities can be positive or negative. One example of a positive externality might be when beekeepers provide a means of pollination for fruit growers. Air, water, and noise pollution are examples of negative externalities.
Please answer the following questions to describe an instance in which you, an acquaintance, or family member has experienced an externality. Please use economic concepts, and use references in your main contribution.
1.How did it affect you (or your acquaintance or family member?) Please explain.

  1. What were the effects? Please explain.
  2. Did you (or your acquaintance or family member) experience increased or decreased health or quality of life? Please explain.
    If you choose to write about a negative externality such as pollution, what do you think is the best way to reduce pollution? Please explain.
    If you choose to write about a positive externality, what is the economic problem that positive externalities create? How would you resolve that? Please explain.
