Hello, Dr. Satterlee! I've done everything correctly. Unfortunately, I was having computer issues due the server storm we suffered in our area and every time I tried to submit the Discussion Board Thread, it kept submitting the saved draft. However, that's not your problem, but a loss on my part. On the other hand, please accept my apologies, for not responding sooner.
Here, the virus was called Ebola Zaire and the virus spread faster here because the doctors were not using clean needles when treating patients. Once the world noticed what was happening, doctors from all over the world travelled there to try to find a cure. Later on, with the help of the samples of dead boy, Doctor Johnson figured out it was the Marburg Virus. Johnson then discovered that the boy and Monet had both explored the same caves. So, it was determined that the original virus came from the caves, but they could not find the exact source within the caves.
We’ve had many global outbreaks in our world of diseases and viruses. The novel The Hot Zone by Richard Preston is about an outbreak of a vicious disease. It gives a terrifying, true narrative about an eruption of a deadly virus, Ebola, the great slate wiper, the disease that did horrific things you did not want to imagine (Preston 64). The vicious virus approached upon the people out of nowhere, when no one knew what it was or why it was happening. The government's response was very well reacted to the situation, they jumped right on the situation, contained the virus and tried to find a cure as soon as possible.
Nancy worked in a Level 4 lab at USAMRIID. Nancy’s boss, Eugene Johnson, had been researching and searching for the origin of Ebola. During a routine dissection and experiment, both scientists had discovered that Ebola could be airborne. Not only could Ebola be spread through the air, but it could also be spread through the use of dirty needles. In 1976, Ebola Sudan and Ebola Zaire were both spread by dirty needles.
In Terri Schiavo’s case an act utilitarianist would consider how much pain she was in, if any, and would consider euthanizing her if it meant she will not be in anymore pain. However, they would also look into how much the action would affect her family. Overall, they would consider euthanasia as it would result in the least amount of suffering for everyone concerned and allowing the current situation to continue would cause enormous pain and anguish. For 15 years Terri Schiavo was in a state where she could not live up to her full potential, she was not really living. A rule utilitarianist would not consider euthanizing Schiavo even in the greatest of circumstances because, it would cause more harm than good.
The spread of Influenza in the early 20th century gave people a gloomy feel for that time. Some people thought that the Influenza infection was a sign from their gods so they let religion influence their choices while dealing with the infection. Other people were displeased by the fact that the government wasn’t taking the infection seriously and that people were receiving little to no care. Lastly there were doctors and volunteer nurses who were with people that had Influenza and didn’t get the infection. After looking at all of the documents, it’s obvious that their were some different views towards the spread of the Influenza infection.
Utilitarianism is the moral theory that the action that people should take it the one that provides the greatest utility. In this paper I intend to argue that utilitarianism is generally untenable because act and rule utilitarianism both have objections that prove they cannot fully provide the sure answer on how to make moral decisions and what will be the ultimate outcome. I intend to do this by defining the argument for act and rule utilitarianism, giving an example, presenting the objections to act and rule utilitarianism and proving that utilitarianism is untenable. Both act and rule utilitarianism attempt to argue that what is right or wrong can be proven by what morally increases the well being of people. Act utilitarianism argues that
In healthcare, Utilitarian’s believe in everyone having equal healthcare, or moral proper care regardless of their issues. A few examples of this are smokers who have bad lungs because they smoke receive the same care as non-smokers with bad lungs, or who also receive the same care as a person with a genetic heart disease, or a killer receiving the same care as a non-killer. Consequentialism and non-consequentialism involve making judgements about a person’s moral actions and the reasons behind
To deal with these dilemmas, utilitarianism and duty ethics theories should be taken into account. For a utilitarian decision maker, who will attempt to maximize the sum of utility for all concerned (Kvalnes, 2015), the third person should pull the switch or push the fat man to reduce the killings from five persons to one person; that is, keeping the number of people died to a minimum. In contrast, in duty ethics perspectives, there are moral considerations more important than
Contagion, a film released in 2011, is a great example of Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is a theory that promotes the greatest good for the greatest number of people. The movie’s strength lies with the characters and the way they portray a utilitarian view. In this film, many doctors and experts in disease control are desperately looking for a cure for an unknown disease that has spread through the world killing hundreds of thousands of people. Knowing that the virus could potentially kill off the entire population of the world, the CDC and its employees worked day and night for months and months to come up with a vaccination to health the vast majority of the population.
Utilitarianisms would answer the question in the affirmative and change the track so only one person has to suffer. However, we have to question if the Utilitarianism is applicable to such ethical questions (Smart & Williams, 1973). This essay will outline several strength and weaknesses of the Utilitarianism devised by Jeremy Bentham. Firstly, the Utilitarianism will be outlined, secondly some strength and weaknesses are explained by employing examples, and thirdly several solution approaches for dilemmas Bentham’s Utilitarianism is facing will be sketched.
Utilitarianism would endorse this action as morally justifiable because the majority had survived because of this. Another example that is more relevant in today’s society is the requirement to vaccinate children against diseases even if it is considered against their individual religions. Some argue that this is a violation of an individual’s rights but utilitarianism would see this as a morally justifiable action because even though it is restricting an individual’s right to religion, it serves to help prevent diseases that could potentially be dangerous or fatal to many individuals thus providing the most benefit to the greatest number of people. Utilitarianism has been applied to global problems like poverty as well.
The morality of an action is determined by the outcome of that action. At an initial glance, Utilitarianism seems as if it would be a superior way to live a life full of good will, as it is focused on doing the most
The utilitarianism is common approach to make ethical decisions. The main point of this approach is that you have to make that decision which comes with the most utility. The utility in this approach can be described as „The good”, and the opposite of this is „the bad”. This means that in Computer Science you have to produce a computer programme or a hardware, which produces the largest amount of good , and during the producing phase, it makes the least amount of bad, for all who are affected: customers, employees, and even the enviroment. With the utilitarian viewpoint people can make right, and ethical decisions, for instance if you produce a programme which can make life easier for millions of people, you should not sell it for extremly
