reasoning‚ I would choose the one that would benefit most of the stakeholders (consumers‚ pacemaker company‚ cardiologists‚ and the transistor company)‚ though it may come at some short-term financial risk to the company. In order words‚ I will be taking the Utilitarianism approach since this case perfectly ties into it; using this approach‚ I would decide to continue selling the transistors to the pacemaker company. I believe this would provide the greatest balance of goods/benefits over harm(s)

The first case of utilitarianism is brought up when the debate is started at a board meeting. During its infancy stage as a product it was noted the number of lives a pacemaker was responsible for due to malfunctioning. The inverse of this is the number of lives that the pacemaker was used to add quality of life and save

The case of “The Sole Remaining Supplier” deliberates between what is more important‚ a human beings life or financial loss. During the year 1975‚ doctors across the nation started to implant a new and promising medical technology called pacemakers. It was in its early years; therefore‚ cardiology doctors did not possess the advanced skills needed to install such equipment. A patient’s heartbeat depended solely on these units to survive; however‚ a malfunction from such unit would cause a patient

Scenario The heart pacemaker is a modern wonder. The device has a timer that resets itself every time the patient’s heart beats. If the heart does not beat on schedule (say‚ within 1.2 seconds)‚ the pacemaker gives a stimulus that causes a heartbeat. You are on the board of directors of a company that makes transistors. Among the many companies with whom you have a contract is one that makes heart pacemakers. Pacemaker technology is in its infancy. When doctors implant a pacemaker‚ the patient’s normal

Replacing Animal Testing: Unrealistic The issue of whether or not animal experimentation should be used for research in medicine and science has been debated for years. After conducting research on both sides of the issue‚ I have found that we should not replace animal testing with alternative methods at the present time. The proposal to replace animal testing in medical science is somewhat unrealistic and would prove to be disadvantageous. There are four substantial reasons for this: animal research

separated by a thick myocardial wall called the inter-ventricular septum. On the anterior surface of the heart the inter-ventricular septum is marked by a shallow groove called the anterior inter-ventricular sulcus‚ which holds adipose tissue‚ the great cardiac vein and the anterior inter-ventricular artery.

The myocardium (cardiac muscle)‚ is the thickest section of the heart wall and contains cardiomyocytes‚ the contractile cell of the heart. 2. What part of the heart is the pacemaker and why? The SA Node is located in the right atrium of the heart. It is made up of a group of cells (myocytes) positioned on the wall of the right atrium‚ at the center of the heart and near the entrance of the
