My Top 10 Moments of Bioethics

2. 10 The 3 Ethical Principles
How do we remain respectful towards each stakeholder?
How can we do the most good while causing the least amount of harm?
How can we be fair? How can we distribute materials equally?

3. 9 iDebate: Right to Die?
At what point is life not worth living?

4. 8 Film: A Good Death
I learned more about hospice and
palliative care. This was great because I
hope to become an oncology nurse!
As sad as this film was…
I realized that a good death can sometimes mean not dying
in a hospital, or being able have human contact prior to
death.
It really connected the whole week’s lesson.

5. 7 Genetic Counselor Report
I LOVED “playing” the role of a
genetic counselor!
I learned so much about
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
from my report, and
learned about Hemophilia,
Breast Cancer,
Huntington’s Disease, and
SO much more from
everyone else’s!

6. 6 Organ Donor Commercial
• Just 1 organ donor can save up to 8
lives!
• In the US, an average of 18 people die
each day due to not receiving an organ
in time.
• Almost all religions support organ
donation!
• Doctors will ALWAYS try to save your
life if you are in an accident BEFORE
they check to see if you’re an organ
donor!

7. 5 iDebate: Golden Rice
I had never heard of GMOs, especially
not golden rice…
BUT, I soon learned along with many of my
classmates that golden rice could be EXTREMELY
beneficial to developing countries! It could provide
many people with extra Vitamin A that they may not
be able to get other wise…
Also, golden rice does not cause any harm; towards
humans or the environment.

8. 4 Shopping List
What GMOs did you know you had in your
house?
At first I was a bit alarmed, but along with
the rest of the GMO lesson, I realized it’s
not so bad to own GMO foods (In least
from my perspective).
I decided that until I had more information
and read more long-term studies, GMOs
were “safe” for my family and I.

9. 3 Historical Case Studies of
Human Research
People were harmed in
ways that seem
unfathomable!
• The Nazi Experiments
• Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male
• Willowbrook Hepatitis Experiments
• Walter Reed and Yellow Fever in Cuba
• AZT and Pregnant Women in Africa: World Medical Association
• The Stanley Milgram Experiment

10. 2 Discussion:
“The Incriminating Brain - Who Stole the Cookie from the
Cookie Jar?”
It was fascinating to learn about
neuroimaging in forensics!
At this point in the class, everyone was comfortable to
share their own opinions, without being influenced by
others’ comments.
This led to a great discussion full of many
thoughts, discussions, and respectful disagreement!
I wonder what the future will hold for neuroimaging?!?!

11. 1 Discussion: “Bringing it All Together:
Final Reflection”
I’m so glad to have shared this experience with
everyone, and I’m glad that many people said that they
were excited to use this new information in their
future health care careers!
It was great to hear everyone talk about how much
they learned, and I enjoyed sharing a class with
everyone who shared a passion for science!
