Read through the following questions carefully and completely. Use your own words and go into some detail when responding to each question; a 3 or 4 sentence response should be sufficient:

1.Consider the new federal abortion ban which would impact, for example, the right to an abortion even when the fetus is inviable. Can you use a sanctity of life approach to construct an ethical argument showing that terminating this pregnancy would or would not be the appropriate course of action?

2.Studies have shown medical expenses in the last year of the elderly's life may account for about 30% of all health care costs in the U.S. Discuss any potential ethical issues here.

3.Apply the Categorical Imperative in determining whether a DNR Order should be followed when the family of the patient vehemently opposes enacting it.

4.What patient factors, (besides the fact that they are in dire need), would you consider necessary to justify the transplant of an organ to that patient?

5.The U.S. has a voluntary donation program for much-needed organs, whereas some countries assume willingness to donate, requiring a person to opt out if unwilling. Which system would you support and why?
