Write an analysis of the issue and potential decisions or solutions, using the concepts introduced in your study units. You might pick one of the following: A situation currently in the news, An ethics dilemma witnessed in a medical practice either as an employee or a patient, or A challenging, hypothetical ethics issue (either one you’ve seen in books or film, or one you create) Be sure to choose an example for analysis that seems interesting, difficult, or complicated. Your assignment is to write a 3,000- to 3,800-word, thorough analysis of an ethical decision in the medical field, assessing the situation and the possible resolutions through as many of the “lenses” discussed in this course as are relevant.
