Case Study : Copyright And Intellectual Property Consideration

In the world of medicine, ethical principles serve as guidelines that help agents determine what the best thing to do is. According to Ruth Purtilo, an agent in the health profession is one who has the moral capacity to make a decision and be held responsible for their choices. In the novel, First, Do No Harm by Lisa Belkin, one can identify numerous agents and analyze the ethical principles they naturally used to assist in their decision making. Serving as moral agents in Hermann Hospital, their decisions were certainly not simple. At times, they chose between a patient’s life and death. The large ethics committee of the hospital met on several occasions throughout the novel, discussing what was ethically right to do for their patients;

First, it is important to define ethics and how its components play an extensive role in our society. The term ethics is defined as “Moral principles that govern a person 's behaviour or the conducting of an activity.” (Oxford); ethical decisions are the ones that per se determine whether or not murder is wrong. Likewise, ethics consists of different ramifications and perspectives from many philosophers. Moreover,

These are complex questions about who has property rights in the picture of Tiger Woods. Let's first start with the individual contract Tiger Woods and General Mills has. If Tiger Woods and General Mills agree that General Mills has complete property rights of the picture, then General Mills, for the most part has complete rights as negotiated by the contract between the two parties. Any violation from this contract would be a breach of contract and could lead Tiger Woods to sue General Mills. An example would be General Mills posting the picture in a negative way that could be perceived as a defamation of character by Tiger Woods.

Choices define what being a human is. How a person reacts to decision making, reflects the character and personality that a person possesses. Deciding the appropriate action for a tremendously difficult situation always results in one party disagreeing with the route taken. In the short story “Bread” a young girl with very limited life experience is forced to make a decision that could impact the life of her young sister. The article “A Framework for Thinking Ethically” depicts several strategies for making ethical decisions that could be applied to this situation. The virtue approach alongside the utilitarian approach could be applied to this specific situation.

Despite of the increasing knowledge in healthcare and bioethics, care for critically ill children remains understudied in Canadian context. The prevailing theories in ethics of justice do not address adequately the complex moral problems involved in the care of vulnerable children. Patients often find themselves in a distress in facing a tragic dilemma with two unlikely options. In a tragic dilemma, patient must find meanings in the specific case and with the guidance of health care professionals and bioethics in making informed choices that reflect their values and beliefs. Using ethical concepts and theories, I will discuss the complex case of Mary Jane Peirce and formulate a comprehensive ethical decision using the Mcdonald’s Ethical

`Ethics' is defined as ."..the basis on which people...decide that certain actions are right or wrong and whether one ought to do something or has a right to something"(Rumbold, 1986). In relating `ethics' to nursing care, "Nursing decisions affect people... nurses have the power to good or harm to their patients" (Bandman et al, 2002). In this essay, the author will also identify the most important ethical principles and concepts of Evan's case, will outline the different stages of one's approach to ethical decision-making by utilising the "DECIDE Model for Ethical Decision-Making" founded by Thompson et al (2000) and will make a decision on the best course of action to take as a nurse in this

Within healthcare, practitioners often have to make difficult decisions regarding the care of their patients. This could be to do with giving or withdrawing treatment, or as simple as sharing risk information (Glover, 1997). Ultimately, the practitioner must be able to rationalise any decision they have made (Morrison, 2009). With this in mind, the following assignment will draw upon an ethical dilemma and explore how theoretical perspectives can be utilised within the decision making process. Therefore it will also be pertinent to draw upon the law, and how this influences actions within health care. To facilitate this discussion, I will identify a scenario from practice that

Many infringement claims involve simple cases of copyright infringement where the copying is obvious. Others, however, are more difficult to resolve because copyright protection is not limited to exact copying. It is inevitable that creative and commercial works will take inspiration from the culture at large, and it is often challenging to determine when this "inspiration" has crossed the line into infringement. There also may be a question of whether the allegedly infringed work is even protected by copyright. Unprotected works may include, for example, compilations of facts that lack the requisite creativity to be covered by copyright, or those works that are in the public domain because the copyright term expired.

Firstly, with laws to protect intellectual properties, it prevent and stop other companies from commercially using the protected intellectual properties in the marketplace, allowing the owner company to control the usage of their original
