Archibald takes a hospital emergency room hostage in a final attempt to save his child.
The Jacket (2005) – A Gulf war veteran is wrongly sent to a mental institution for insane criminals, where he becomes the object of a doctor’s experiments, and his life is completely affected by them. The film centers on a wounded Gulf war veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia.
The Last King of Scotland (2006) – While in Uganda on a medical mission, Scottish doctor Nicholas Garrigan becomes the personal physician and close confidante of dictator Idi Amin. Although at first Dr. Garrigan feels flattered by his new position of power, he soon realizes that Amin’s rule is soaked in blood, and complicit in the atrocities. Garrigan faces the fight of his life as he tries to escape Amin’s grasp.
My Sister’s Keeper (2009) – Told from multiple perspectives, My Sister’s Keeper follows the story of 13-year-old Anna Fitzgerald as she sues her parents, Brian, and Sara, for medical emancipation. Anna was conceived as an allogeneic donor for her sister, Kate, who has acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL).
Extraordinary Measures (2010) – John Crowley is a man on the corporate fast-track, with a beautiful wife and three children. Just as his career is taking off, he learns that his two youngest kids have a fatal disease. John leaves his job and devotes himself to saving their lives.

Contagion (2011) – When Beth Emhoff returns to Minnesota from a Hong Kong business trip, she attributes the malaise she feels to jet lag. However, two days later, Beth is dead, and doctors tell her shocked husband that they have no idea what killed her.

Doctors try to contain the lethal microbe, but society begins to collapse as a blogger (Jude Law) fans the flames of paranoia.
Awakenings (1990) – The story of a doctor’s extraordinary work in the Sixties with a group of catatonic patients he finds languishing in a Bronx hospital. Speculating that their rigidity may be akin to an extreme form of Parkinsonism, he seeks permission from his skeptical superiors to treat them with L-dopa, a drug that was used to treat Parkinson’s disease at the time.
Coma (1978) – A young doctor in a hospital discovers that many patients are being induced into comas from simple routine surgeries. She soon finds a deep conspiracy developing that leads her to believe that nothing is as it seems. The comas are deliberate acts to permanently incapacitate patients who are later transferred to a facility called The Jefferson Institute where illegal activities are being conducted with comatose subjects.
Extreme Measures (1996) – A young British doctor confronts a famous colleague about the true methods of his work. The doctor wishes to determine why the body of a man who died in his emergency room disappears.
Gattaca (1997) – Vincent Freeman has always fantasized about traveling into outer space but is grounded by his status as a genetically inferior “in-valid.” He decides to fight his fate by purchasing Jerome Morrow’s genes, a laboratory-engineered “valid.” He assumes Jerome’s DNA identity and joins the Gattaca space program, where he falls in love with Irene. An investigation into the death of a Gattaca officer complicates Vincent’s plans.

The Harm Principle states: “The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant” (Van Camp, 2014, p. 81).
Given this definition consider legalized gambling and a person that has an addiction to gambling. You next door neighbor, Sarah Jones, has been going to Bingo seven nights a week and stays about even with money spent versus money won. She has done this for over three years. Recently, she has started going to the casino after Bingo to play the slots. Over the past six [6] months she has lost over $85,000. She has taken a second mortgage on her house, she has taken a loan out on her vehicle, and she has started selling items out of her home. She has three [3] minor children and besides not being at home in the afternoons or evenings she does not always have enough nutritious food in the house. There are lots of cereals, microwave meals, and “junk” food. Since her gambling has increased, her children do not always have clean clothes and often get to school late in the mornings.
You will respond to the following questions in an APA-formatted essay. State your position in a thesis and develop your ideas through well-constructed paragraphs.
After you have read the supporting materials, answer the following:
Does the Harm Principle apply to Sarah and her behavior?
Ethically, if you were her neighbor, would you feel you should do something to help Sarah or her kids? What and why? Or if not, why not?
Morally, do you think a next-door neighbor that observes minor children at risk should take action? Why or why not?
Your assignment should include:
A title page in APA format
A minimum of 500 words of meaningful content
A reference page in APA format

The statement I agreed with is D: Although we cannot ignore the plight of the mother, we also have an obligation to protect the unborn child’s rights. That child cannot fend for itself. Dependency does not make the child less human. Many adults are wholly dependent on others for a wide variety of reasons, and certainly, children, after they are born, are still dependent in the most every way for continued life. I accept the legality of abortion because I have to. That doesn’t make it ethical. However, I am also in favor of sex education and teaching safe sex, which can lead to fewer abortions. I even understand exceptions such as rape, as the act is destructive to the psyche even without a pregnancy. Bringing a child of rape to term could be too much for some to bear, and I value the mother’s quality of life even if I would also mourn the death of an unborn child. There are no easy answers, but I favor the unborn child’s life at every turn, and make exceptions only when I must choose the lesser of two evils.

The Argumentative Essay. The purpose of this assignment is to outline, analyze and defend a thesis about the THE SECOND TO LAST AND LAST CHAPTER OF THE FIESLER MORAL PHILOSOPHY TEXT ACCESSIBLE VIA LINK IN MODULES THROUGH THE INTERNET ARCHIVE ON A PROPOSED SUPER ETHICAL THEORY THEN ON RELATING DIFFERENT ETHICAL THEORIES; OR STILL ON A PREVIOSLY UNASSIGNED ARTICLE IN OUR MAIN KAHN ANTHOLOGY TEXTBOOK. PRESENT AN EXEGETICAL ACCOUNT OF THE CHAPTER OR ARTICLE, SPECIFICALLY CALLING OUT IT’S ETHICAL THEORETICAL METHODS, THEN CRITIQUE ITS PERSUASIVENESS, DEFENDING A THESIS ABOUT ITS STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS, PERHAPS PROPOSING A “FIX” TO THE CASE MADE IN THE CHAPTER OR ARTICLE. the Argumentative Essay, roughly a full 6 TO 8 page required paper, students will synthesize the material covered in class and defend your final tested and considered thesis about your original topic. These papers should begin with solid objective exegesis and defend a theses with sound arguments; remember that the purpose of the assignment is to demonstrate your mastery of course material by integrating relevancies, objections, etc. that pertain to your topic and thesis.

The purpose of this argumentative essay is to allow students to demonstrate how much they have learned in the course. Students will argue for a thesis on one side of the ethics of forgiveness discussion as presented in The Sunflower book. Do you believe Simon W. in particular or the Jews (past and present) are morally obligated to forgive Germans who contributed to the Holocaust and have now apologized? Or by extension, is any person who has experienced a grave evil personally or within their family or people group obligated to forgive the perpetrator(s)? Do you believe Simon W. would be wrong to forgive the Nazi soldier who had killed many Jews? Why or why not?
To argue for your side, be sure to explain what forgiveness is, how it’s connected to other moral goods such as reconciliation, justice, etc. Make sure to integrate ideas from different ethical theories we discussed in Sandel’s book that may illuminate your own view or the views others hold on the opposite side of the discussion from yourself. In other words, you should be prepared to thoroughly defending your own view by considering objections to your view and then replying to those objections.
To earn an A, the paper should primarily engage The Sunflower book and other course materials, but using outside sources is permissible and can help boost the grade. Good outside sources will be from academic journal articles, books by the relevant experts, or other academic resources. Blogs, online news sources, and other popular
media-type outlets do NOT count. The paper must use properly formatted in-text citations and include a reference list that conforms to the Chicago Manual of Style. Use either footnotes or the author-date system and include a reference list on the last page.
Other Requirements: 1500-2000 words; Double-spaced; No cover page; Name and title at the top center of first page; Page numbers on the bottom right of each page; Standard twelve-point font (e.g. Times New Roman); One inch margins; .doc or .rtf file format only; The introduction should be no more than half a page. The conclusion should only review the main points. The paper should be a standard five paragraph argumentative essay (no more and no less than five paragraphs), which means an introduction, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
The thesis statement requirement:the last sentence of the introduction should be the complete thesis statement that clearly states your point of view. The topic sentence requirement: the first sentence of each body paragraph should act as a topic sentence and state the philosophical idea being analyzed.
