Summary Of The Ashley Treatment
Ladies this is such an excellent presentation, very informative and educational. For me as well, this is the first time hearing about the Ashley treatment. In this case, Ashley's parents seeking a better quality of life for her disable child(Beneficence) trumped other ethical principles such as their daughter's right to develop naturally and free. From my personal point of view, I think that the procedures performed were extremely invasive and perhaps somehow mutilating to this cognitive impaired child.
After this presentations, I believe this case continue to impact the way we currently practice today . for instance, when it comes to irreversible procedures like h hysterectomies, before they are scheduled, the need for this procedure is
required to be well documented and approved by third parties to be completed. Excellent presentation!
