What would a divine command ethicist say is the moral thing to do here? Why would they say that?
Initial Post Instructions
St. Augustine in the 5th Century held that we are free to make choices in life. This is the idea of free will. It may seem at first glance odd for a religious thinker to say that we have free will. After all, if God exists, then God created all things. God knows already what we will do. God can cause anything to occur. If we cause things to occur, that seems to be a limitation on the power of God and not make God all-powerful.
There are also religion traditions that say that we have no free will. There are some theologians in Islam who seem to suggest that is true. In order for this line of reasoning to hold true, one would need to believe free will is an illusion and that we have no control over how we live our lives, but rather that we are puppets moving and acting due to Gods will and the powers of destiny and fate. And if this then in the case, how can we possibly be responsible for our actions?
The considerations above show us to what degree our religious beliefs can shape us. For instance, someone who believes in free will may experience way more guilt than someone who believes we dont have free will and thus arent responsible for the choices (and consequences) of the actions we take.
Personal struggles with religion and ethics occur in many places, including in the healthcare arena. Consider the following: You are a nurse in a hospital. A 12 year-old was brought to the hospital by an ambulance. The parents have just arrived at the hospital. This 12 year-old has lost a large amount of blood and requires a transfusion. The parents happen to be members of a religion that believes that blood transfusions are immoral. They want to remove the child from the hospital and prevent the transfusion even if it means the death of the child. You have to decide whether or not you will participate in an action that violates the will of the parents and aid in providing blood for the child. If you choose to participate, and even if you are able to legally justify it, you have to think about the distress you are creating for the parents. If you refuse to aid here, you may be subject to retaliation from the hospital. What is the moral thing for the nurse to do here?
Initial Post Instructions
For the initial post, address the following questions:
What would a divine command ethicist say is the moral thing to do here? Why would they say that? Do you agree with the divine command ethics? Why or why not?
Evaluate what a natural law ethicist would say is right to do. Do you agree with them? Why or why not?
Given what you said are the right things to do, what would an emotivist say about your positions and judgments? What role does subjectivity play here in determining what is ethical?

discuss critically your position either in favor of greater use of DNA collection/use of DNA evidence in law enforcement or in favor of more restricted collection/use.
Choose one of the topics below and discuss critically your position either in favor of greater use of DNA collection/use of DNA evidence in law enforcement or in favor of more restricted collection/use.

The topics, choose one of the three:
Choose an aspect of the technical limitations in the science of generating DNA profiles that bears on the use or interpretation of DNA evidence by judges and juries. You may choose one of the limitations discussed in class or a technical limitation not discussed in class. (If you are arguing for greater use of DNA evidence, obviously you will try to explain why the technical limitation is not much of a concern; it you are arguing for more restricted use of DNA evidence you will explain why it is a big concern.) A suggested list of topics (a-e) is included below to get you started. If you use this list in selecting your topic, use just one item on the list.
a. the ease with which DNA evidence samples can be contaminated
b. the possibility that DNA evidence can be faked
c. the variability in the quality of the data obtained from one case to the next due
to signal-to-noise (ie, stutter peaks, allele drop out, noisy baseline, low or
uneven signal etc.) and that quality issues observed may not get
communicated clearly to a jury
d. the possibility that random match probabilities may not be accurately
calculated (e.g for a crime committed in a community with high levels of
population structure, which would underestimate the probability)
e. the possibility that the crime lab made mistakes in sample handling
Discuss your position on the current law enforcement practice in California of collecting DNA samples from all individuals arrested for felonies for inclusion in the national DNA database. It is important to emphasize the consequences to society (both positive and negative) if your position were the one adopted and explain clearly why the positives outweigh the negatives.
Discuss your position on whether shed or abandoned DNA samples should be freely available for collection by law enforcement for DNA sequencing without a warrant. Include as part of your discussion the specific benefits or drawbacks to society over the procurement and sequencing of shed DNA.
