Compose the last question on the template reflection in a document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
Reflective Journal Template – Topic Reflection –
Topic
Organ Transplantation
What are the key points of contention on this topic?
The key points of this topic are whether transplant tourism should be allowed.
This is when Americas aren’’t able to obtain an organ so they opt for other
countries to provide them one. Usually this is done by the donors selling their
organs as a source of income.
What side of the argument (stance) do you take on this topic?
My stance on this topic is that this shouldn’t be allowed. Like mentioned in the
debate, it can cause those who receive these organs to have even worse medical
problems. Certain countries don’t know through the proper protocols that the
United States goes through. Often, they are not very strict about the whole
process. It appears in other countries this is mainly used for money and not for
saving the lives of those in need of the organ. Not only is it dangerous for the
receiver, but the donor also can go through complications since they might be
removing a valuable organ for money.
What strong points does the other side of this topic have?
A strong point the other side had was to not allow a few bad cases taint over
them all. Of course bad cases exist, but that doesn’t take away from the fact
that certain places do know what they are doing and will be taking it seriously.
Especially if someone isn’t able to receive an organ in America, they might feel
as though their only option is to resort to transplantation “tourism”.
What were the three most important things you took away from the topic?
1. A piece of information that shocked me was that these donors are
donating their organs for $800. You would think that if they’re trying to
make money from this decision, that they would be making even more
money than just that.
2. Something else I learned that allowed me to make my stance on this topic
was that in other countries you are left with wounds after surgery. In
America, often times you can barely tell that person underwent a
procedure, whereas these other countries make it very obvious due to
horrible suture.
3. I was shocked to learn that 5% of transplants are done in this manner.
Making it 3500-7000 patients going through with transplant tourism.
Which ethical theory (of the 6 approved ones ONLY – Kant; Act Utilitarianism;
Rule Utilitarianism; Care Ethics; Virtue Ethics; and Social Contract) would you
apply to this topic to defend your stance? Explain fully. 250 words.
A) In this reflection you must first define the key terms of the debate (for
example, define what Euthanasia/Abortion/Stem Cell/Public
Health/PreNatal Testing/Animal Research/Health Care, etc. means and
what are the different types depending on which topic you are
discussing)
B) Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know
exactly what the theory is and does – in your own words)
C) Present the evidence both pro and con and follow up how using your
ethical theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is
really ethical
D) Conclusion – any final thoughts and opinions would go here
E) 2 to 3 resources as support for your evidence (text book counts as 1)
