Read through the scenario, then post your answer to the questions in the class discussion.
A woman enters the emergency room with stomach pain. She undergoes a CT scan and is diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm, and the physicians inform her that the only way to fix the problem is surgically and that the chances of survival are about 50/50. They also inform her that time is of the essence, and that should the aneurysm burst, she would be dead in a few short minutes. The woman is worried about her chances and she refuses any surgical treatment. Even after much pressure from the physicians, she adamantly refuses surgery. Feeling that the woman is not in her correct state of mind and knowing that time is of the essence, the surgeons decide to perform the procedure without consent. They anesthetize her and surgically repair the aneurysm. She survives and sues the hospital for millions of dollars.
Do you believe that the physician’s actions can be justified in any way?
Is it ever right to take away someone’s decision about their own healthcare?
What would you do if you were one of the healthcare workers?

1. Stock Market Project
DUE MAY2nd
For this project, you will “buy” stocks in at least three (no more than 5) different Sport-Relatedcompanies and then track the stocks during the semester. Simply put, you are allowed to buy and sell on only EIGHT selected transaction dates during the semester.
1. It is extremely importance to research a Sport-Related company before purchasing stock (i.e., investing in the company). Therefore, do initial research on the 3 to 5 companies you plan to invest in identify detailed information about those companies explaining why you chose them.
2. Once you have decided which Sport-Related companies to invest in and how much you will be investing, begin keeping a ledger, in the form of an Excel spreadsheet that details your buying, selling, and portfolio values for the eight transaction dates. Use Yahoo! Finance to identify the stock price on EACH transaction date. A spreadsheet example is attached. Use the following dates to do your transactions.
Jan 19 Feb 2 Feb 16 Mar 1 Mar 15 March 29 Apr 12 April 26
3. You have $10,000 and are required to invest at least 50% of the money. You may choose to invest only $5,000 and save the other $5000. You may invest $9999.99 only because you could not buy stocks at such a price as to equal $10,000 exactly. Either way is fine. At the end of the project, when completing the written summary you will need to discuss what value, if any, you found in NOT investing some of the money (i.e., keeping cash reserves).
4. You may adapt the ledger to best suit your needs, but the five areas below are critical.
The ledgers you are required to keep may look confusing, but in essence, you must do the following:
Show how you invested the initial $10,000.
Show how much cash reserve you maintained (if not spending every penny of the $10,000).
Show any buying and selling on the five transaction dates.
Show the portfolio value on all transaction dates (after all buying and selling is completed).
Show, in the end, your Return On Investment (ROI) after all stocks have been liquidated (the last transaction date requires the liquidation of the portfolio).
What to submit for a grade.
1. Written summary
· Describing what you discovered during your initial research of the companies you invested in.
· The value you found in NOT investing some of the money (i.e., keeping cash reserves).
· Reflect on the overall outcome of your investment strategy. Did you make or lose money?
2. Complete Ledger with all required information
The final ledger and summary paper will be graded on content. An emphasis on your critical reflections regarding what was learned in the process. The Excel spreadsheet ledger will be graded on its accuracy, completeness, and auto-calculation.

It must be research so it will have a research question or hypothesis, there will be a methods section, a population of interest, a results section and a discussion section. Include in your overview the issue/topic the research is investigating, the research question or hypothesis, the population being studied, what variables were studied, what they found in the results and how this information is useful to society as a whole and you in particular. The last item you will add is your opinion of the value of the research and what it adds to the discussions of the science of well being. Reading your opinion is my favorite part, so make sure you communicate through words your thoughts so that I may understand your perceptions.
