In the paper, you have the option of three topics – I chose euthanasia.
Follow the same format. You used it last time.
I think you have access to the book. Remember, this is your opinion, or my opinion, I guess. I’m for euthanasia if it serves a purpose, if that helps. Try to keep things in layman’s terms and dumb down the vocabulary. Pay attention to the teacher notes I’m attaching and the assignment sheet.
please don’t use A.I
She is probably going to have us write a final reflection essay to close out the course. If you are interested in doing that as well and you continue to do a good job, ill have you do that as well, but I encourage you to read over the first 8 chapters of the book. If you do the final reflection paper and do a good job, ill tip you really well, and make it worth your time for helping me with the 3 papers.

Physicians must understand that the meaning of “freedom to contract” has changed with the degree of monopoly given by the managed care organization (MCO). Post a 300 word summary in your own language discussing the advantages and disadvantages a physician and/or physician’s group has when considering to merge with a MCO. If you were the physician, what would concern you the most?

Write a 500-600 word essay that completely answers the following question: Is it important that a person have a virtuous character as she tries to live ethically among others? What is the difference between performing virtuous actions and having a virtuous character? What sort of difference, if any, does it make if a person does a morally right action for reasons that do not demonstrate good moral character?

Each student will be required to write a research paper on an ethical dilemma. The purpose of the research paper is to engage students in ethical issues pertinent to business and the accounting profession. You may choose the topic you wish to write about however please refrain from using Enron or WorldCom or any other discussed in the syllabus as these cases are already widely discussed today. You will need to get approval from the Professor on your choice of topic. The paper should discuss the ethical dilemma, the effect and consequences of the ethical act and the outcome of the case. You must use at least two of the ethical theories discussed in class to explain the reason and circumstances the individuals involved were able to commit the unethical acts that took place. In addition you should provide recommendations on how to reduce the likelihood of the unethical scenarios occurring in the future. Students enrolled in ACCT 430 will prepare a 8-10 page paper (does not include title page, abstract and reference pages). The document should use a font size of 12 and one-inch margins and be double spaced.

Students are expected to use electronic means such as databases and journal articles to research their relevant topic. Several theories will also be explained throughout the semester so students are expected to use these theories to support their reasoning and arguments related to the ethical dilemma being researched. The paper must demonstrate a mastery of the basic writing mechanics, be free of grammatical errors and supported by proper references. Please follow APA guidelines when writing the research paper. Wikipedia and Investopedia are not proper academic sources, therefore academic research articles should be your main source of research support.

This is a discussion board post. I have attached reading at the end. Explain what the article is about and answer the questions within the discussion. Its only 300 words. Please include intext citations in the discussion.

For this assignment propose a scenario where you or someone you know are confronted with a moral dilemma relating to cultural diversity and multiculturalism. It cannot be the same as what was covered in the week one discussion.
Cultural diversity refers to religious, sexual, racial, and other forms of social difference. A moral dilemma is a situation in which one must make a decision between two or more options such that the options involve seemingly ethical and/or unethical conduct. Address the following questions:
What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve?
What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that?
What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct?
What did you or the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did you or they give? Is that approach morally correct?
Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not?
Remember, the dilemma should be detailed with descriiption and dialogue. Regard the questions as requirements. This is an essay, so rather than simply providing a list of brief answers to questions, provide an in-depth reflection regarding a difficult ethical situation..
Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.
Length: 1.5-2 pages (not including title page or references page)
1-inch margins
Double spaced
12-point Times New Roman font
Title page
References page (minimum of 2 scholarly sources)

— Each student will select one of the ethical issues discussed in the course and prepare a position paper introducing the issue and presenting the student’s position on the issue. The paper will not be evaluated based on the position taken by the student. It will be graded on the student’s understanding of the issue, understanding of the various schools of thought on the subject, how well the student presents his/her argument, understanding of moral theories, and the quality of the writing. The paper will be double-spaced and follow all rules of academic writing and integrity. The paper will be a minimum of 2000 words. The paper is due by 11:59 pm on the due date through Moodle. No paper will be accepted late.

DNA testing is a booming business. Millions of Americans have sent their DNA to commercial testing companies such as 23andMe or Ancestry to learn more about their heritage or potential for disease. According to Grand View Research, “the global DNA testing market is set to reach over $10 billion by 2022.” (Brown 2018). Successful marketing campaigns have led consumers to believe that home DNA testing is fun, informative, and personal to them. However, what consumers may not realize is that once their genetic information is shared, they have limited control as to who has access to it. Regardless of the reason consumers decide to purchase a home DNA test kit, the information they provide to the testing company is far greater than the information they receive. The benefits that these testing companies can gain from gathering, using, and selling customers’ private information places them in a significant conflict-of-interest situation. Some of this information includes the IP address, name, address, email, and family history, collected from the application, as well as information provided on follow up surveys.
Furthermore, according to its website, if customers opt to share their data for research, 23andMe could keep their physical spit sample and the genetic data it contains for up to a decade. Additional information that consumers upload to the companies’ genealogy website, such as pictures, obituaries, family relationships, and even third-party information is probably added to the pool of data linked to customers’ DNA. Recently, some have felt that privacy and consumer rights have been violated when they used home DNA kits.
In June 2019, Lori Collett sued Ancestry for allegedly misleading customers about what it was doing with their DNA. This class action lawsuit claims that personal information was released to outside parties without customer consent. Further contentions include that the waiver of consumer rights through consent forms is often vague, general in scope, and everchanging. The fine print may not accurately spell out what the company, its third-party associates, and collaborators can or will do with customer information. (Merken, 2019)
Further concerns arise as testing companies often align themselves with pharmaceutical companies, public and private research organizations, and Google. For example, “GlaxoSmithKline purchased a $300 million stake in the company, allowing the pharmaceutical giant to use 23andMe’s trove of genetic data to develop new drugs — and raising new privacy concerns for consumers.” (Ducharme, 2018) Similarly, Ancestry is sharing its data with Google through its research subsidiary Calico. Ancestry admits that “once they share people’s genetic information with partner companies, they can’t be responsible for security protocols of those partners.” (Leavenworth, 2018).
Additionally, both 23andMe and Ancestry use Google Analytics to provide third parties with consumer information for targeted marketing. In its privacy policy 23andMe states that “when you use our Services, including our website or mobile app(s), our third-party service providers may collect Web-Behavior Information about your visit, such as the links you clicked on, the duration of your visit, and the URLs you visited.” This use of shared information allows testing services and third parties to build a comprehensive personal profile on you, which may include your genetic information. Although privacy may be a concern of consumers, law enforcement with the cooperation of DNA testing companies, either through partnership or warrants, have brought justice to the victims of numerous unsolved cases. Over the past few years, the use of consumer DNA databases have closed many high profile cold cases such as the Golden State Killer and overturned the wrongful conviction of Alfred Swinton. In some cases, such as the Golden State Killer, the DNA used to identify suspects are cross-referenced through the DNA of relatives as far removed as third cousins.
However, this has brought additional concerns, as a DNA expert for the American Civil Liberties Union, Vera Eidelman states, “There’s always a danger that things will be used beyond their initial targets, beyond their initial purpose.” (St. John 2019) The success of consumer DNA databases has led some law enforcement to meet with Bennett Greenspan, the CEO of FamilyTreeDNA, seeking his help to convince consumers to share their genetic data with police. This partnership has resulted in the creation of the non-profit Institute for DNA Justice that has the following stated mission:
“The Institute for DNA Justice was formed to educate the public about the value of investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) as a revolutionary new tool to identify, arrest, and convict violent criminals, deter violent crime, exonerate the innocent, encourage the 26 million Americans who have taken a DNA test to become genetic witnesses by participating in publicly available family-matching databases working with law enforcement using IGG, and to promote the adoption of industry leading best practices guidelines surrounding its use by law enforcement agencies around the country.”
Regardless of public or private testing, laws in the United States have not yet determined a standard for the home DNA testing industry

Do the following in 1-4 pages, double spaced, complete sentences, clear:
1. There are a number of ethical issues in this case study, identify ONE ? Clearly explain why it is a moral issue.

2. Using one of the ethical theories discussed, analyze the case study. What would your chosen ethical theory say about the case study? Why would it be immoral or unethical according to that ethical theory? Make sure to FIRST clearly explain your understanding of the ethical theory–I want to know that you understand it before you use it.

3. What is your own opinion on DNA testing? Does it resemble what one of the ethical theories discussed would say about it? Why or why no?

I already included the questions needed to be answered and the format. I will also put the rubric of which it will be graded.
