1)Discuss what makes this an ethical dilemma. 2)Discuss the implications of this study in
terms of the moral principles described in chapter 1. Respect for persons: Did the hospital/
physicians allow the parents to be autonomous in their decision-making? Do you see any
elements of paternalism on behalf of the physicians? Beneficence: Did the hospital/
physicians act beneficently? Nonmaleficence: Did the hospital/ physicians consider
nonmaleficence? Justice: Did the hospital act in a just way? Baby K was born at Fairfax
Hospital in Northern Virginia on October 13, 1992. Although her face was beautiful, the top
of her head was flat. She had no brain The baby’s mother knew from the 16th week of her
pregnancy that Baby K’s brain had not developed. Baby K had no cerebrum and no
cerebellum, but she did have a normal brain stern. The mother was told that babies with
“anencephaly”- from the Greek words for negative (an) and brain (enkephalos) – cannot
2. see, hear, or feel anything no matter how long they live. Baby K would have no thoughts, and
she would never achieve “personhood.” If she were born alive, her brain stem would
prompt her heart to beat and her lungs to pump air in and out of her body. Baby K, like
other babies with anencephaly, would be “born dying” but would not be technically brain
dead. Anencephaly is one condition, perhaps the only one, that all doctors agree is futile to
treat. The general consensus among medical, legal, and other experts is that heroic
measures should not be used to keep such babies alive. But Baby K’s mother balked. She
wanted to keep her baby alive no matter what the cost. She was motivated by a strong and
sincerely held religious belief that “all life is precious” and that a higher being, rather than
herself or the doctors or the law, should decide how long her baby would live. Baby K held
on (most babies with anencephaly die within the first few days of their lives) and finally left
the hospital when she was seven weeks old. No neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) would
accept her, so she went to a nursing home. Essay: Difference between ethics and laws.
