OVERVIEW
The purpose of these ethical reflection assignments is to equip you to apply course reading and theological ethics into the types of situations that health care leaders and administrators face over the course of their career. Case studies such as these are not catechistic, but they can provide a basis for grounding one's ethical reflections in context-rich situations.
INSTRUCTION
For each of these assignments, you will write a 1500-word essay responding to an ethical question. Your responses should include two peer-reviewed sources and one theological-ethical source. Theological sources cannot simply be a biblical reference without textual commentary/analysis. Do not force the theological reflections, but ground them in evidential, textual, and exegetical reflection
Ethical Reflection: Current Issues Assignment
Healthcare administrators, leaders, and practitioners must be readied for commentary on ethical reflections regarding technological and social adaptations as they are applied to the field of medicine.
Choose one of the following topics and write your reflection based on best practices, ethical applications, and biblical worldview.
1. Abortion-if/when is it okay, not okay, or marginally acceptable? Consider then whether your argument here is a policy issue or a practical issue or a moral issue. Where do they overlap and differ?
2. Transgenderism-if/when is it okay, not okay, or marginally acceptable? Consider then whether your argument here is a policy issue or a practical issue or a moral issue. Where do they overlap and differ?
3. Snowflake Adoptions-Where are the potential ethical gray areas related to in vitro- fertilization (IVF)and the remaining embryos not brought to birth but frozen and left conceived and shelved?
Make sure that your argument here is succinct and specific. Loose argumentation based on assumptions from either side of the aisles on these topics will not be graded favorably. Instead, you must ground your argument in ethical-theological wisdom and medical-scientific reflection.
