Week 1
7. Abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial moral
issues we will consider. Listen to both sides, even if it is
difficult to do. Both sides have important moral insights, even if
ultimately these insights are outweighed by the insights of the
other side. The goal of this discussion is not to convince you to
accept one position over the other, but to help you to understand
both sides. As you consider this difficult issue, it is important
to distinguish two questions:
· Is abortion morally wrong?
· Should abortion be illegal?
Choose one of the questions above and argue both sides with
supporting evidence. Please write your discussion choice in the
title line.
Week 2
· Does a person in need of an organ transplant have a moral
right to obtain that transplant, supposing the availability of the
needed organ?
· How should we choose who gets a transplant, supposing that
there are not enough organs for all who need them?
Week 3
· How do you define privacy?
· Do you believe privacy is a moral right? Why or why not?
· Are there any cases in which public health policy justifies the
violation of the right to privacy?
· Remember to respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts
with feedback on their opinions and ideas.
Week 4
Some consider fair access to health care a moral right, while
others disagree. We have defined the term moral right as "a
privilege to act in some specific, intentional manner or to obtain
some specific benefit because one is a moral agent living in a
community of moral agents under a shared moral standard."
· Is access to health care a moral right?
8. · Why or why not?
Week 5
Stem cells are undifferentiated, primitive cells with the ability
both to multiply and to differentiate into specific kinds of cells.
Stem cells hold the promise of allowing researchers to grow
specialized cells or tissue, which could be used to treat injuries
or disease (e.g., spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease,
Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, strokes, burns)." (Slevin, 2010)
Choose ONE of the following issues and post to its thread with
supporting evidence. Respond to two peers who wrote about
issues other than the one you chose.
1. Discuss what you feel are the potential benefits of stem cell
research for Alzheimer's patients and their families.
2. Share your perspective on the stem cell debate regarding
donation of surplus embryos to couples for “embryo adoption.”
3. Why is the task of disposing unused frozen human embryos
different from disposing of other medical tissue?
4. Discuss why you think embryonic stem cell research “crosses
a moral boundary.”
