The document discusses different perspectives on paternalism. Paternalism is defined as interfering with a person's liberty of action by claiming to do what is in their welfare or interests. A common example given is a doctor withholding a diagnosis of Alzheimer's from a patient. Views discussed include seeing paternalism as always wrong from a Kantian perspective of respecting individual autonomy. However, others argue it can be justified to prevent harm to others, as Mill states preventing harm to others sometimes allows interfering with autonomy, but not for a person's own good. Charles Fried takes a Kantian view against paternalism in medicine as it fails to respect patients as ends in themselves.
Bioethics Paternalism
This document discusses the concept of paternalism in healthcare. It defines paternalism as acting in a fatherly way towards someone else.

Paternalism can also be positive by promoting good or negative by preventing harm. It can be soft if using the patient's own values to justify intervention, or hard if not using their values. Finally, paternalism can be direct if overriding the patient's values for their own benefit, or indirect if restraining

Week 9 assignment
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects about 1.1% of the US population ages 18 and older. It makes everyday tasks difficult and logical thinking challenging. There are tests to determine if someone has schizophrenia, but it is difficult to predict. Symptoms can be managed with medications, but there is no prevention. Risk factors include family history and onset in teenage to young adult years. Treatment involves diagnosis as early as possible along with medications, therapy, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and prevent relapse.
