Week 4 assignment

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

 Textbook: Chapters 7, 8
 Lesson
 Minimum of 2 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)
 Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial (Make sure to review this tutorial before you begin recording.)

Instructions
For this week's assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading.
Option 1: The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key
moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your
approach to what a utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally
might or not agree with what you say.
Option 2: In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key
moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral
approach to what a utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently). Consider whether differing ethical beliefs
globally might or not agree with what you say.
Option 3: John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die
within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet.
Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend
all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels. Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is
a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat
and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die. Patient Three is an orphan. This
orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to
her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants.
She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant.
All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan's birth parents were known to be
of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should
get the kidney? Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by
using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of
diverse populations (in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they relate to the case. Consider whether
differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.
For all the options:
Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.
You should not be using any text you used in a discussion board or assignment for this class or any previous class.
Consider whether differing ethical beliefs globally might or not agree with what you say.
You will submit the following:

 An audiovisual presentation that presents one of the options above. Be sure to give equal time to each element. Doing a
PowerPoint presentation with audio recorded on the slides is preferred. Please refer to the Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial located in
the Required Resources in this assignment.
 Please provide a transcript of anything said in the recording aloud that does not appear as text on a slide. This transcript can be
provided as a Word document or placed in the Notes section on the PowerPoint slides.
 The link or a scan of the article mentioning any health technology, social technology, or case you are reporting on. If you made up
the case, please indicate that in your report. If you choose to do option #3 (the case about a shortage of transplant kidneys), your
article would likely be an article about the shortage of transplant organs, or a shortage of people signing up to be transplant donors,
or the status of educating people about being donors, etc.

Presentation Requirements

 Length: 4-6 minutes narrated presentation


 Slide length: 4-6 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide)
