Hi All
I'm working on paper 1 grades and will have them finished by tonight and will email the grades to you by tomorrow morning at the latest. Paper 2 has the same structure as paper 1 with the additional ethical analysis that needs to be included in your discussion. Here are the instructions I. Steps in Ethical Case Analysis 2nd Case Study assignment Pick a case or subject for your 2nd case study from the topics in chapter 15 of the book which covers Genetic Engineering. This chapter is in Bb. There are also 2 files discussing Beauchamp and Childress in Bb. The approach to Bioethics presented by Beauchamp and Childress is called "Principlism" and commonly used in Bioethics classes. If you want to work on another topic email me so I can ok it. Cases in Chapter 15 Designing Deaf Baby p, 277 Topics discussed in the chapter include Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis p. 281 Cloning p. 283 Eugenics p. 284 Post humanism p. 287 Enhancement p. 287 Designer Babies p. 288 If you pick 1 of these topics you can either look for a specific case or analyze the subject in general in which case you need to identify a set of generic stakeholders. In previous semesters some members of class have chosen to write on CRISPR gene editing. Paper Structure: Steps in Ethical Case Analysis 1. Get the facts straight. Review the case. Briefly recap the details of the case at the beginning of your paper. 2. Identify the central stakeholders in the case. Identify 6 stakeholders then narrow your analysis down to 3. 3. Identify the technical/professional problem in the case. 4. Identify the Ethical problem or problems in the case. 5. Solve the technical and ethical problems using both technical and Ethical standards. Analyze the case from 3 perspectives, use 1 ethical principle for each perspective. In Addition you must now also apply 3 principles from the 4 principles of Beauchamp and Childress in your analysis. 1 principle should be applied for each of the 3 stakeholder perspectives you analyze. You are now applying 6 ethical principles in your analysis, 3 philosophical ethical principles and 3 principles from the code of ethics. 6. Will your solution to the problem withstand criticism from the perspectives of both a variety of Ethical principles and Professionals in your field? 7. What recommendations can you make about the problems in the case based upon your ethical analysis? When you construct your analysis be sure and remember that we are assigning a 4-6 page analysis. With this length limitation it is important to realize that you will probably only be able to look at the problems in the case from three stakeholder perspectives. If you try to analyze every stakeholder perspective you will probably exceed the length limitation. It is also ok to go over the 4-6 page limit if your analysis becomes longer. The sample paper in Bb uses the ACM code of ethics remember You need to use 3 principles from the 4 principles of Beauchamp and Childress. It is also ok to go over the 4-6 page limit if your analysis becomes longer. email me with any questions
