Is there a duty to choose death for seriously ill people whose families are making major sacrifices to support them and who are under severe strain? Set out the arguments on both sides of John Hardwig and Felicia Ackerman or Liz Carr and assess them.

In a debate the same year he said he would support a bill which would make administering an abortion at 15 weeks gestation or later a criminal offense nationwide. (Sources: JD Vance said in 2022 he ‘would like abortion to be illegal nationally’ | CNN Politics and https://www.nbcnews.com/health/womens-health/jd-va... ) Discuss what effects such a policy would have on Long Island and how such a view could be defended and criticized. Make sure you do some research and show your understanding of the philosophical discussion of abortion. One of the biggest issues facing patients these days is who to trust when getting medical information. The CDC warns about the misinformation that is spread especially through social media regarding health recommendations and vaccines. But others accuse the CDC and national figures such as Dr Fauci of spreading misinformation and serving the financial interests of the pharmaceutical industry. I want you to focus on the COVID pandemic and debates about masking, lockdowns and vaccines. With hindsight, who should patients have trusted? You can narrow down your focus to particular topics or cases. A lot of the paper will be about how to evaluate the claims of "experts" and "skeptics" and deciding whether any "conspiracy theories" are plausible. 4 Here is a case from a book. Sedating and Restraining the Disturbed Patient Percival Guthrie was a 58-year-old man with a history of organic brain syndrome. In good physical health, Mr. Guthrie had been admitted to a nursing home by his family. Because of his forgetfulness, wandering behavior, sleep pattern disturbances, and inability to care for himself, his family wanted him to be in a care center that would meet his growing needs for supervision and personal care. Family members had tried to care for him themselves during the past year, but they were exhausted from all the supervision that Mr. Guthrie needed. Despite the expense, they hoped that their relative would be happy in the nursing home and that he would receive the care that they could no longer give him. Sandra Mooney was the day nursing supervisor of the nursing home. Recognizing the extent of the care that Mr. Guthrie would need, she agreed to place him in a room near the nurses’ station and to observe him while he adjusted to the routine of the nursing home. Adjustment, however, seemed an impossibility for Mr. Guthrie. It soon became apparent that his wandering into other patients’ rooms was disturbing to them. During meals, he talked loudly and frequently called for his relatives. When sedated with a mild tranquilizer, Mr. Guthrie became more agitated and spent all night roaming the halls, wandering into the rooms of sleeping patients, and generally exhibiting loud and boisterous behavior, much to the dismay of the nursing staff. Within a few days, it became apparent that mild medication was not going to affect Mr. Guthrie’s behavior. He was also becoming very dirty and refused to change his clothes. Once, he sat in his armchair all night and failed to use the bathroom to urinate. His clothes and the chair were soaked with urine, and this became a daily occurrence. Faced with the constant odor emanating from Mr. Guthrie’s room, his wandering behavior, his unkempt appearance, and his loud talking, Mrs. Mooney considered confining the patient to a room at the end of the hall. She discussed the problem with the nursing staff, and they decided to use a combination of sedation and confinement, recognizing that their one attempt at confining Mr. Guthrie to his room had resulted in loud behavior that disturbed the other patients and the staff and alarmed visitors. It was a course of action that Mrs. Mooney chose reluctantly, given the good physical condition of Mr. Guthrie. Yet it seemed that his liberty would have to be restricted if the staff and the other patients were to have a satisfying nursing home atmosphere.
