I have a client whom I know to be HIV positive. I also know that he is sexually active and has not told any of his partners about this. Isn’t it my ethical responsibility to inform someone that he is‚ in effect‚ dangerous to others? Even if I am not a counselor‚ I would not be able to live with the fact that I have such an information and am putting some other life at risk. As a medical doctor‚ I was also bound by my Hippocrates oath to serve and bring no harm to others‚ “I will apply dietetic

What are the ethical issues raised with abortion? (25 Mark) Abortion raises issues such as murder is wrong‚ personhood and the sanctity of life. These issues can help decide whether abortion is right or wrong but may sometimes still leave you undecided.

Question 3 what reading have you enjoyed most in the past year and why? The reading I have enjoyed the most in the past year is ‘To kill a mocking bird’ by Harper Lee. The story’s main theme is about racial discrimination and gender inequality. It used a child’s point of view to tell the story so I can throw myself into the main character Scout. Thanks to her naivety‚ the injustice and the hypocrisy of Maycomb folks are enhanced. The most exciting part of the story is the fight in the court. Scout’s

Or what if they had multiple successfully fertilized eggs in the womb? With the use of fertility drugs the rate
