Medical Ethics and “Do Not Resuscitate” Orders
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page
report discusses the facts surrounding the numerous occasions,
when medical therapies at the fine line between life and death
are extreme, and the enormous difficulty and responsibility of
determining that essential line between living and dying, and the
ethical response to “do not resuscitate” orders. Because
technology has so significantly improved the human ability to
prolong life in the face of severe illness, it has also increased
our uncertainty over when such life extension is meaningful.
Which then, obviously, brings up the issue of the medical ethics
that are part of patient and patient families’ “do not
resuscitate” orders. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Medical Ethics in Managed Care / Is it Possible?
[ send me this paper ]
Over the course of the last 3 decades, medical ethics have shifted from the responsibility of the physician to the responsibility of the managed care organization (MCO) and as a result, the lines between appropriate care and cost feasibility have blurred the view of the ethical treatment of patients. In pursuit of cost management, managed care organizations have implemented policies that some physicians suggest are not only inappropriate, but also unethical. This 45 page research study considers the nature of managed care, the issue of ethical medical treatment and considers the question of whether medical ethics can be applied within the managed care system. Bibliography lists 30 sources.
