Read the scenario.
Many years ago, as a junior nursing student, Mary was assigned to observe the labor and delivery department of a small rural hospital. As frequently occurs in small towns, the nurses and physicians were acquainted with many of the women, they knew their backgrounds, home situations, and so forth. During her second day on the unit, Mary attended the delivery of a set of premature twins. After delivering the tiny babies, the physician walked to a nearby room and placed them on a metal utility table. He turned and said to those in attendance, “Nobody is to touch them. This woman has nine children at home. She doesn’t need any more babies.” Because these babies were very premature, it is unlikely they would have survived in the best of situations. The physician may have correctly believed that the babies were delivered too early to survive. Nevertheless, the nurses struggled with the moral and ethical implications. This example raises many ethical questions and illustrates a case of paternalism and utilitarianism taken to the extreme.
Does the End Justify the Means?:
Name four arguments for and four arguments against the physician’s decision.
Considering her position as a student in the hospital, what were Mary’s options?
