  • reflection

    Your reflection should be at least 200 words. You are more than welcome to write more than that though. If your reflection is less than 200 words, 1-point will be deducted. If your reflection is submitted after the due date, 1-point will be deducted. If you need more time to complete this assignment, just let me know. Do not just record what happened in the reading or recording. I want to know what you thought about the discussion. If you just tell me what happened in the reading or video, and you dont tell me what you think about it, 1-point will be deducted.

    What do you think of Le Guin’s short story? What is the right action in these circumstances and why? Should we walk away? Should we stay? If we stay, what should we do? Go on as usual? Or free the child and subject all to suffering?

  • Discussion 2

    Discussion Board 2 This discussion board covers the information in Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8. Before posting, be sure to carefully review the instructions and grading rubric in the syllabus and review the feedback left on your last post. For your initiator post, choose just one question from the end of one of the chapters. For example, there are five questions to choose from on page 119 in Chapter 7. Make it clear at the top of your post which question you are answering. Include your opinion if the question asks for it, and feel free to use the first person, such as “I think…” and “I believe…” A strong post will include moral theory in it, such as universal ethics, and make connections to the case study in the chapter. You must also include direct quotes and citations from the chapter(s). Again, review the instructions in the syllabus before posting. You may write your post in Word and copy/paste it into the Canvas text box, but do not use the attachment feature. You must post first to see the posts of your classmates. Your first post will be counted as your initiator post submission whether it is complete or incomplete. After you post your initiator post, don’t forget to come back and post your response posts (see syllabus instructions). You may use A.I. to help you study, but you may not use A.I. to write your post for you. Please email the instructor or teaching assistant if you have any questions.

  • Preventing physical Maturation in a Brain Damaged Girl

    On January 3, 2007, the news media broke the controversial story of Ashley, a cognitively none year old girl whose parents authorized medical interventions designed to impede her physical development. Ashley was born with static encephalopathy, a brain impairment that resulted in her cognitive development being arrested at that of a normal three-month-old infant. She is unable to talk, walk, sit up, turn over, or eat without assistance. In view of her severe incapacity, her parents authorized the childrens hospital in Seattle to provide what they called the Ashley Treatment: powerful estrogen therapy to stunt the girls growth, removal of her breast buds to prevent breast maturation, and hysterectomy to prevent the discomfort of menstruation and any possibility of pregnancy.

    According to Ashleys parents, the medical interventions were motivated by the girls best interests. Remaining small at under 80 pounds and four feet five inches tall means that Ashley can be held in their arms, moved more easily, taken outside the house and out of town often, and bathed in a standard bathtub. These possibilities, they maintain, are good for her physically (e.g for her circulation) and psychologically (since more outings equal more stimulation). In sum, the Ashley Treatment was designed to improve our daughters quality of life and not to convenience her caregivers.
