Question

Answer 3 of the following questions. You also must reply to at least 2 other students' posts for full points.

1. Research a case currently under consideration in the U.S. Supreme Court that directly affects the health care employee. Summarize the case including how it affects health care workers.

2. Identify advantages and disadvantages of using the term survivor rather than victim. Which would you use? Justify your response.

3. After a client signs a consent form and you have witnessed it, she states, "I think this is the right decision." what would you reply? What would you do?

4. What suggestions do you have to make health care available to all? How would your plan be funded?

5. Recall a time when you personally have been discriminated against in the health care setting because of your culture.

6. Discuss the work of the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium. Include how genetic testing can be both beneficial and problematic.

7) Professor Joseph Fletcher, bioethicist and noted author says, "It is unethical and morally wrong to deliberately or knowingly bring a diseased child into the world, or to turn a cold shoulder on prenatal tests. Never bring a baby into the world with anything more than minimally serious defects or disease." What do you think about this statement? Does this have any implication on those individuals living in society at this time, or their families and those who love them, who have conditions such as Downs Syndrome etc...?

8) Review the 5 theories of when life begins. How can these theories affect decisions surrounding issues such as abortion, stem cell research etc...

Answer 1

Q:3

Ans: I will say, all the people have the right to make decision about themselves, in the same way patients will also have the rights when taking decision on their health condition, right to privacy, confidentiality, respect and dignity, fully known about their condition, procedures carried on them and treatment given, freedom from neglect and abuse, refuse the treatment. so this is our responsibility to take consent in order to protect you from the un wanted threats happen to you during your stay..

Q:4

Ans: Health care access is important for all individuals in order to maintain and promote health,  protect from diseases. so to make health care available,

• Remove the barriers which are making harder to them to access the health care.
• Improve the access by conducting camps.
• Proper planning of camps.
• Providing the treatment at low-cost.
• Free distribution of drugs.
• Gaining funds from the governments
• Improving manpower by decreasing shortage of staff in the health care settings.
• improving conditions in public health care sectors.
• Maintaining quality in care.

Q:6

ANS:The international human genome sequencing consortium, led in the united states by the national human genome Research institute and the department of energy, it is an international project began on October 1990. it uses information to treat, cure orevne prevent th thousands of diseasesthat affect humankind. l

The goal of the human genome project is to identify the approximate 30,000 genes in human DNA, which determines the sequence of the three billion chemical base pairs that makeup human DNA and store this information in the bases.

The results of the project shows it is possible to understand and modulate the genetic causes of disease and cure the disease altogether. they have about 20000-25000 genes in human genome, and each of these has the [possibility of being a disease if it has an error in its DNA sequence. It also sequenced the genome of many other model organisms including mouse, afruitfly and aroundworm.

BENEFITS AND PROBLEMS OF GENETIC TESTING:

benefits:

• it helps to determine birth defects of babies.
• to have relief from uncertainity.
• indepth knowledge about risks.

Risks:

• miscarriage
• emotional,financial and social consequences,
• it doesnot eliminate persons risk
• in some cases it may remain uncertain.
