This discussion will focus on 3 areas where ethics play a key role in the decision making of treatment and care of an individual.Choose one of the cases among the Case Studies below and answer the questions.While this discussion is opinion based, make sure to research and back up the answers with evidence and the source.Assisted Reproduction: Case Study 3This is a difficult subject because it involves reproductive issues. In our culture, reproductive liberty, the freedom to decide when and where to conceive a child is highly protected, and this can make these cases much more difficult.A married couple wishes to have a child; however, the 32-year-old mother knows that she is a carrier of Huntington's disease (HD). HD is a genetic disorder that begins showing signs at anywhere from 35-45 years of age. Its symptoms begin with slow loss of muscle control and end in loss of speech, large muscle spasms, disorientation, and emotional outbursts. After 15-20 years of symptoms HD ends in death. HD is a dominant disorder which means that her child will have a 50% chance of contracting the disorder. Feeling that risking their baby's health would be irresponsible, the couple decides to use in vitro fertilization to fertilize several of the wife's eggs. Several eggs are harvested, and using special technology, only eggs that do not have the defective gene are kept being fertilized. The physician then fertilizes a single egg and transfers the embryo to the mother. Approximately 9 months later, the couple gives birth to a boy who does not carry the gene for the disorder.Is this a case of eugenics?

Euthanasia Case Study 2The word "euthanasia" draws its roots from Greek meaning "good death." As it is used in this discussion, it means "the act of ending the life of aperson suffering from either a terminal illness, or an incurable disease." The AMA is against physicians assisting in euthanasia. There is currently onlyone state in the US that allows for euthanasia, and that is Oregon, where in 1997, the "Death with Dignity Act" went into effect. Euthanasiaadvocates stress that it should be allowed as an extension of a person's autonomy. Those who are against euthanasia often say that it can lead tothe devaluation of human life, and to a slippery slope in which the old and disabled will be killed on the whims of healthy people. We examined onecase and the Oregon law to view the ethics of euthanasia.A woman was diagnosed with motor neuron disease (the samedisease that Stephen Hawking has) 5 years ago. This is a condition that destroys motor nerves, making control of movement impossible, while themind is virtually unaffected. People with motor neuron disease normally die within 4 years of diagnosis from suffocation due to the inability of theinspiratory muscles to contract. The woman's condition has steadily declined. She is not expected to live through the month and is worried aboutthe pain that she will face in her final hours. She asks her doctor to give her diamorphine for pain if she begins to suffocate or choke. This will lessenher pain, but it will also hasten her death. About a week later, she falls very ill, and is having trouble breathing.• Does she have a right to make this choice, especially since she will be dead in a short while (say six hours)? Is this choice an extension of herautonomy? State why or not• Is the right for a patient's self-determination powerful enough to create obligations on the part of others to aid her so that she can exercise herrights? Discuss any federal or state laws that address this issue.-Do you think that legalizing euthanasia could create conflicts of interest for the patient/ or the doctor? If you were a physician, what would youdo? Note: if you pass her off to another doctor knowing he or she would do it, does this free you from your ethical obligations?
