Ethical Considerations Project Read the assigned article, Informed Consent for Emergency Contraception: Variability in Hospital Care of Rape Victims.Review the Brownfield v. Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital case summary. (Below)Review Essay Requirements. (Below) Brownfield v. Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital Ascension Health (2007) Brownfield v. Daniel Freeman Marina Hospital. Retrieved November 28, 2008 fromhttp://www.ascensionhealth.org/ethics/public/cases/cases_AF.asp In this 1989 federal appellate court case, the plaintiff was taken to Freeman Hospitals emergency room after being raped. In response to the patients request for information about the morning-after pill, the hospital authorities refused to provide such information, believing that they could not, on the grounds that it was a Catholic hospital. Specifically, the hospital did not inform the patient that if she wanted such treatment it must be obtained within 72 hours to be effective. The court reasoned that a patient has the right to make her own decisions regarding treatment, and therefore, adequate disclosure of information must be provided so the patient can make an informed decision. The court concluded that a rape victim who is denied information about access to the morning-after pill may bring a medical malpractice action. This means that liability may arise if the patient can show: 1) that a skilled practitioner would have provided such information and access under similar circumstances; 2) that she would have elected such treatment; and 3) that damages (in this case, pregnancy) resulted from the failure to provide such information. In a footnote to its decision, the court indicated that access to such treatment could include transfer of the patient to another medical facility or another physician.More critical for Catholic-sponsored hospitals, the court also reasoned that the morning-after pill constitutes the prevention rather the than termination of pregnancy. It therefore concluded that the conscience clause under the states abortion statute did not immunize the hospital from liability for failure to refuse to provide such information. However, since human life begins at conception (fertilization) and not merely after implantation of the embryo, the relevant moral question from the Catholic perspective is not whether or not there is a pregnancy, but whether or not there is another innocent human life to be respected. Those contraceptive measures that operate solely through the prevention of implantation are morally equivalent to abortions in Catholic moral theology, and are therefore impermissible under the Ethical and Religious Directives (both then and now). Nevertheless, the court did not accept this moral distinction as relevant for its ruling.The court ruling itself stated that Catholic Hospitals have the responsibility to provide information concerning, and access to, estrogen prophylaxis for rape victims.

Questions for the essay:The Internet has become the greatest library ever. With the good comes the bad, however. In particular, some concerned citizens are worried that children can too easily access websites containing inappropriate material such as pornography or racial propaganda. Several solutions to this perceived problem have emerged. One is indirect censorship through federal or state laws that criminalize the transmission of pornographic material online. Another possibility is federal or state laws requiring the use of so-called filtering programs when children are involved. In either case, the battle lines are drawn. Civil libertarian groups and other free speech advocates want no censorship. Concerned parent groups think differently. How do you feel about this issue? Why?

The Pathophysiology of DisordersDuring the last 5 weeks, you have explored various body systems: neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological. These four systems work together along with other body systems to complete a myriad of functions. For this reason, when disorders occur within one body system, it can create potentially devastating effects throughout the entire body.
