Mr. Jamison's Case Summary

The wisest, most ethical option to be found is to choose to investigate further to see if conceiving a child was Mr. Jamison’s plan. This third option from the stakeholders chart is the most ethical resolution to the central ethical issue not only because much of the research relates back to accumulating further knowledge of Mr. Jamison’s opinion of the procedure, but also because both the act utilitarianism theory and the virtue ethics theory confirm that the third option would be the wisest to utilize in finding if the hospital ethics committee should allow the postmortem sperm procedure without the consent of Mr. Jamison. Overall, based off of analysis of the research, the highest net unity accounted for, and the virtues of the situation
being balanced within the Golden Mean, it is without a doubt that the third option will allow the hospital ethics committee to solve this ethical issue in the most moral way possible.
