Ethics refers to what is morally right or wrong; a standard of how one should behave.  Morals are beliefs of what is correct and not correct based on our family, religion, and society influences.  Although ethics are personal, they are also decided upon by professional or governmental organizations.  Ethics can also be called “Shades of Gray” because there are oft times when there is no clear right or wrong choice.

For your project, you need to pick a healthcare related ethical issue that interests you; research both sides of the issue, form your own opinion about the issue, and present it in a well thought out response.   

Select a topic. Examples are genetic screening, body modification, organ transplantation, life support, genetic engineering, blood transfusions, confidentiality, euthanasia, prescription drugs, recreational drug use, stem cell research, government health regulations (for examples: school lunches or fast food nutrition), etc. Excluded from your options are ethical issues that deal with abortion and/or contraceptives. These topics are not discussed in BSC 250. If a student selects either, their paper will not be graded and a zero will be awarded to the student.

·         Do we have a responsibility to provide healthcare to less fortunate people (government health regulations)?

·         Should we experiment with animals to improve the quality of our lives (relate to cosmetics)?

·         Do recreational drugs pose a threat to young individuals in the United States (overdose to crimes associated with drugs)?

·         Should individuals with a known genetic disorder or trait have children?
