A look into the greatest dilemmas of physician assisted suicide

Thompson, Carlyle Marsden, Gordon Ray Church, and all the other bright souls who did not survive Mormonism's homophobia. And to those of us who have survived, that we might bear witness In doing so, it became apparent to me that Mormon women found that the intensity of female homosociality [1] available in Mormon structures created a vital space in which they could explore passionate, romantic relationships with each other. At the same time I have uncovered some of the problematics of male homosociality - its power to arbitrarily defend or exile men accused of entering into erotic relationships with other men.

Ethical Issues and The Elderly: Guidance for Eldercare Providers Mark R. Ensign, jd, cpa Attorney and Counselor at Law Ethical issues pervade our modern society. Daily - often many times a day - persons who have a moral compass are confronted with an ethical choice.

Sometimes these choices are so difficult that they are called ethical dilemmas. In the world of the elderly, ethical issues have an even greater significance because they usually involve an elder who is likely to be more vulnerable that the average adult.

For that reason, in many ways the elderly are taken advantage of by people in whom they have misplaced their trust. This paper is intended to propose an ethical framework in which to discuss ethical issues that are likely to arise and the means to deal with ethical dilemmas involving the elderly and those who provide eldercare, whether professionals or family members.

To provide the highest level of care, the entire caregiving team needs to form a partnership having the best interest of the elder as their focal point while providing loving, appropriate care to enhance their quality of care, their quality of life and their happiness in the latter days of their lives.

Ethics and morality are not equivalents. Although ethics is frequently the study of morals and, as such, is the study of what ought to happen, for the elderly and their healthcare providers, ethics can mean two different things.

For family members as caregivers, ethics is about doing what is right even when no one is looking. For professionals providing eldercare, ethics is about adherence to established canons of ethics promulgated by organizations such as the American Medical Association for physicians, the American Nurses Association [2] and National Association of Social Workers.

The development and promulgation of a code of ethics sets a minimum standard of practice to which members are held accountable.

The code not only directs practice, but also offers a means of self-regulation by fellow professionals and the development of trust within the community they serve. Due to the importance of a code of ethics within a profession, many organizations have developed their own code.

The Code of Ethics the American Nurses Association has adopted is intended to guide the professional toward ethical treatment of their patients.

A code of ethics makes explicit the primary goals, values, and obligations of the profession. The Code is relevant to all social workers and social work students, regardless of their professional functions, the settings in which they work, or the populations they serve. The Code is designed to help social workers identify relevant considerations when professional obligations conflict or ethical uncertainties arise.

The Code provides ethical standards to which the general public can hold the social work profession accountable.

The Code articulates standards that the social work profession itself can use to assess whether social workers have engaged in unethical conduct. NASW has formal procedures to adjudicate ethics complaints filed against its members.The Eric Hoffer Award for Books.
