Case Study
AI Summary
This assignment presents a case study focused on biomedical ethics, specifically examining the application of the four principles: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. The case involves a child, James, facing kidney failure and the ethical dilemmas surrounding his treatment options, including dialysis, faith-based healing, and a potential kidney transplant from his twin brother, Samuel. The assignment is divided into two parts. Part 1 requires filling out a chart based on the case study, gathering data related to medical indications, patient preferences, quality of life, and contextual features. Part 2 involves answering questions about how principlism is applied within the context of a Christian worldview, including which principle is most pressing and how a Christian might prioritize the four principles. The student's analysis considers the parents' conflicting views, James's autonomy, and the ethical implications of Samuel's potential kidney donation, referencing relevant literature on biomedical ethics and principlism.
