Response to John Murphey
As you correctly pointed out, American eugenic policies were fueled by racism and contempt for immigrants in the early 20th Century. The ideas shared in this article provide significant insights on the history of eugenic policies and serve as a cautionary example in public health systems and policies. The creation of public health policies in todays society is seemingly following the pattern of early American eugenic policies. Crichton (n.d.) postulates that early American eugenic policies were seemingly focused on population control of undesirable populations. Modern public health systems are following this pattern as policies are fueled by the interests of a few private entities and individuals at the expense of the many. Therefore, todays public health policies seem to focus on serving the interests of sponsors at the expense of populations. As suggested by Wilensky & Teitelbaum (2020), Private individuals and entities as well as politicians can make public policy decisions in the healthcare field for their own benefit. However, the missing point in your article is the lack of scientific or factual basis in eugenics policies and modern public health policies. The failure to consider scientific or factual evidence contributes to policies that serve the interests of a few rather than for populations.
Response to Dalton Bagwell
I agree with your...…field can be driven by the interests of wealthy stakeholders. While you point out this fact, you should have highlighted how wealthy stakeholders influence policymaking for their own interests at the expense of many populations. This implies that the involvement of wealthy stakeholders in this process provides the avenue for the politicization of public health policymaking processes. Wealthy stakeholders do not necessarily serve the interests of all populations as they are biased. Moreover, you should have highlighted how the involvement of wealthy stakeholders provides an avenue for lack of scientific/factual basis in public health policies. Science or factual evidence is overlooked as policymaking processes are sometimes skewed in…

Bioethics: Fetal tissue research and transplantation in the scientific research community has grown to attract huge debate and controversies since the late 1980s when doctors began to conclude that the bodies of unborn babies could be used in tackling certain diseases. This aspect continued to develop as scientists proposed that fetal tissue can also be used in helping infertile couples to have children. This is largely because these tissues can be
Bioethics: Transplant Case Study thorough examination of any "real life" ethical question involves the examination of all of the issues at hand. It is no different for issues of problematic bioethics. Thus, in consideration of the famous "botched heart transplant story," one must ask the salient questions, "what went wrong," "what should have been done," and "what can one do to insure that this issue will be less likely to
If the lungs are forced to keep breathing, such people can continue to digest food, excrete waste, and even bear children" (Cline 2013).

Bioethics -- Assisted Suicide THREE-STEP MODEL-BASED ETHICAL ANALYSIS OF ASSISTED SUICIDE Introduction Assisted suicide, or euthanasia, is a controversial topic because it contradicts one of the most fundamental values of American and other Judeo-Christian teaching: namely, that human life is sacred. Similarly, in medicine, euthanasia violates the Hippocratic Oath, according to which the first ethical obligation of doctors is to do no harm. However, in modern society, that traditional prohibition against assisting others
Religioustolerance.org/euthanas.htm Stem cell research is a new field, one that was not yet envisioned by the apostles or other authors of the Bible. As a revolutionary form of healing, stem cell research and practice may not be entirely in conflict with scripture. Jesus was the ultimate healer, and therefore stem cell research can be viewed as an extension of this gift from God. Moreover, Luke himself was a physician who would
Indeed, by an active participation of the patient, we also tacitly understand that the patient is also fully informed about the course of the medical treatment, about his condition and even about the way scientific research affects his or her illness. On the other hand, this model has several important setbacks. First of all, it is a matter of time and usually a physician is involved with more than one
