Initial Post In
week three, we were looking at rights ethics with regards to Locke. As a
reminder, Locke said we have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property.
It is immoral to violate them. Many think we have more rights than those listed
by Locke. Some even think we have a right to health care. That means it is the
duty of the state to provide each citizen with their medical needs.
Rights theory says to
respect the entitlements we have. If a right is inalienable, it cannot truly be
violated ethically even with our consent. We have basic needs. Rights are
something beyond needs. They are what we should be authorized to have. We are
due that we have a right to. That is not always the case with need. For
example, we need food, but people often go hungry. A need refers to something
we need physically to exist. A right is a moral entitlement to something.
Asking if we have a right to food is a moral question. Needs are determined by
the requirements of the body and of material existence. Rights are determined
by moral reflection, inquiry, an argument We have a right to own property. We
do not need it to live. We could imaginably be allowed to use another’s. We
have a right to own a home. We can rent.
Initial Post For
the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the
beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:
Option 1: Assess
the moral solutions arrived at through “care” (care-based ethics) and
“rights” ethics to social issues of ethical import such as poverty,
drug use, and/or lack of health care,
That is, note any ethical
problems that arise related to those particular issues. Then, say how both
care-based and rights theory of ethics would solve those problems.
Are those solutions
correct? Why or why not?
What is your own approach
there?
Option 2: What
moral guidelines should we use when it comes to recently introduced healthcare
technologies of any kind (you will note and engage with your own examples) and
social technologies of any kind (you will note and engage with your own
examples)?
Involve care-based ethics
in your answer
