Personhood And The Fetus: Settling The Dispute , Amanda Relph M.S.

Journal of Health Ethics

The concept of personhood and its relationship to health care has long been examined and debated. The working definition of personhood holds great power over many life-altering decisions, particularly in the realm of medical ethics. This article examines the very idea of personhood, current concept definitions and their impact on society, and poses an alternative view and definition for the concept. The final portion of the manuscript discusses potential areas of affect should the new definition be embraced. Information was gathered via historical research and literature review.

Severity Of Scope Versus Altruism: Working Against Organ Donation’S Realization Of Goals- An Essay, Michele Battle-Fisher Mph, Ma

Journal of Health Ethics

The number of incidences of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) supports the case that it is a public health emergency. The burden is often quantified by rates, leaving many people cold and unresponsive, leading to, as Nordgren and Morris McDonnell (2011) state, “the diminishing identifiably of a large number of victims” snarled in the scope-severity paradox. The subject may identify with the disease or illness, but who are these ill-fated others? It must go beyond recognition that there is an ESRD problem at hand. “Strength in numbers” hurts---according to scope-severity paradox and its close kin, scope insensitivity. There appears to …

The Ethics Issues Of Nuclear Energy: Hard Lessons Learned From Chernobyl And Fukushima, Hui Xiang, Yi Zhu

Journal of Health Ethics

The Japan nuclear disaster once again raised the ethical issues of nuclear energy programs. Nuclear energy is considered as a sustainable energy source that reduces green house gas emission and produces far less wastes than conventional energy. On the other hand, nuclear fuel and wastes are highly radioactive, posing many threats to public health and the environment. Nuclear accidents are catastrophic and have a far-reaching impact on global health. Based on the ethical principles of utilitarilism, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, disclosure, and autonomy, mankind needs to take a more stringent approach on nuclear programs. Steps to be taken include improving nuclear …

Go Big Or Go Home, Concepcion M. Sanford

CGU MFA Theses

My work embodies my response to the American Dream. Big houses, flashy cars and glamorous lifestyles are what many of us work for. Coming from a military family, I grew up moving often without an idealized connection to a single structure. In response to this, I use artwork to create translucent, ephemeral sculptures of these items, revealing them as tangible, hollow shells of their former selves. Clear plastic and packing tape sculptures leave a ghostlike reflection of what was. These shells of inanimate objects are personified through their creation, a process similar to what I compare to mummification or embalming. …

A Holistic Approach Of Care For The Hearing Impaired Patient, Brett E. Kemker Ph.D., Edward L. Goshorn Ph.D., Virginia Sumrall Ph.D., Rn, Charles G. Marx Aud

Journal of Health Ethics

Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness, as it applies to hearing impairment, requires that, for an individual to see health as the pattern of the whole, one needs to be able to see that disease or impairment is not a separate entity, but rather a manifestation of the evolving pattern of person-environment interaction (Newman, 2008). In the typical diversity training programs for health care professionals, diversity generally pertains to culture and ethnicity (Radler, 1999). However, the authors suggest that we should consider individuals with disabilities as an element of diversity training. Caring for patients with hearing loss including practical and …

The Bouvia Case Revisited: An Introduction To The Bioethical Topics Of Individual Rights, Acts Of Conscience, And The Right To Die, Rosann M. O’Dell M.S.

Journal of Health Ethics

After a series of court appeals Elizabeth Bouvia won her right to die in 1986. Twenty-five years after the Bouvia case, issues of individual rights, acts of conscience for health care professionals, and the right to die continually inform health care practice and public policy. This article examines these three vital issues in the context of their relevance today, as well as the progression of health policy in regard to these topics since the Bouvia case. The complexity of the Bouvia case keeps it in the forefront of bioethics and health law studies; it begs one to consider how the …
