N 434 medical ethics week 2: Death With Dignity Scenario and Reflection

I CHOSE SCENARIO A. : Dr. Mahal’s assessment of the law is reasonable. The Death with Dignity Act is carefully constructed, and protects both doctor and patient. In order for PAS (PHYSICIAN ASSISTED SUICIDE) to be legal, the patient must be sane and properly informed about potential alternatives. This is an ethical template that other states considering such a law might be encouraged to adopt.

I CHOSE THIS OPTION BECAUSE IT DISCUSSES HOW BOTH PATIENTS AND DOCTORS ARE SAFE AND THE PATIENT IS INFORMED OF THEIR OPTIONS AND ARE IN A STABLE MINDSET.

Which ethical theory (of the 6 approved ones ONLY – Kant; Act Utilitarianism;
Rule Utilitarianism; Care Ethics; Virtue Ethics; and Social Contract) would you
apply to this topic to defend your stance?
Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know exactly what the theory is and does – in your own words)
Which ethical theory would you use to support your stance? Why does this theory work?
Present the evidence, both pro and con, and follow up how using your ethical theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is ethical
Conclusion – any final thoughts and opinions would go here.
BE SURE TO INCLUDE:
Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?
Of the four responses offered in the scenario, which do you think is the most ethical and why?
