(I am doing milestone one)  In Task 2-2, you will submit a 1-2 page Research Proposal that identifies the topic and includes the following information. The topic should include introduction and background information. It will be important to explain the problem that you identified and how it came to your attention and the perspective that served as a background for the issue or strategy that is your focus. After identifying the question(s) you intend to answer, you will begin to collect and analyze the data. You will need to explain your research methodology (i.e., typology, supporting data collection methods, and analysis plan). Describe the types of data you intend to collect. If applicable, identify any documents that you intend to develop as you collect the data. Predict any challenges you think you might face in collecting your data. It will be important to address the following questions: How will you analyze the data you collected? What were the challenges you think you might face in analyzing the data? Is the broad enough to allow for a range of insights and findings; and conversely Is it narrow enough to be manageable within your time frame and your daily work? Why do you want to research this specific topic/problem?

A theory of ethics is a kind of explanation.  It attempts to figure out what kinds of actions are right or wrong or what makes for a good or bad person or even what makes for a good or bad life.  an ethical theory attempts to explain morality as based upon just one or a few foundational values If you were to briefly put forth a theory of ethics, and you had to choose one or two particular values, character traits, responsibilities, or ideas about the best life as most important, what do you think these would be?  Why? Where do you think our sense of what’s right comes from?  Give reasons for your answer, perhaps by considering your response in relation to any particular moral issues that may arise today. 

What do you see as the role of law and policy making in enforcing morality? Which side of the debate do you land on? (part one 150 words)

Read/review the following resources for this activity: Textbook: Chapters 7, 8 (Rachels, S., & Rachels, J. (2019). The elements of moral philosophy (9th ed.). Mcgraw-Hill Education.) Lesson Minimum of 2 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook) Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial (Make sure to review this tutorial before you begin recording.) Instructions For this week’s assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading. Option 1: The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your approach to what an utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently). Option 2: In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral approach to what an utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently). Option 3: John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet. Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels.  Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die.  Patient Three is an orphan. This orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants. She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant. All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan’s birth parents were known to be of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should get the kidney?  Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of diverse populations (in terms  of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they relate to the case. For all the options: Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations. You should not be using any text you used in a discussion board or assignment for this class or any previous class. You will submit all of the following: A written report that presents one of the options above (Be sure to give equal time to each element.) An oral presentation that summarizes the report and examines the ethical ideas beyond the particulars of each case. The link or a scan of the article mentioning the health technology, social technology, or case you are reporting on. If you made up the case, please indicate that in your report. You should not be using any text you used in a discussion board or assignment for this class or any previous class.

Must be at least four pages, not including the title and reference pages. It needs at least five different resources, two of which need to be from professional medical journals. None of the references should be older than 3 years old. Must have citations and must be argumentative. So, either a pro or con status on the idea. I personally, am for the laws allowing death with dignity.

One interesting fact about utilitarianism is that it defines moral goodness in terms of experiences that are felt (pleasure and pain), rather than defining moral goodness in terms of some cognitive capacity (e.g, human reason) or inherent “rights.”  Human beings are not the only sentient (which means “feeling”) beings, so, if utilitarianism is right, other kinds of things–like animals, say–have the capacity to experience moral good and evil because they feel pleasure and pain.  As a result, many contemporary thinkers argue that we must factor at least some animals into our moral decisions.  That raises some interesting questions.  Discuss whether you think some animals’ capacity to feel entitles them to moral consideration, and, more precisely, what such consideration might be.  What, if anything, do we owe animals from an ethical perspective?
