Non-moral facts, moral principles and moral problems, what do they all have in common? The answer to this particular question is that these factors are used to make a decision.Decision making may arise in a multitude of different situations. However, the focus will be directed towards medical case study. From the medical case study, an eleven year old boy named Jimmy T. The clinical issues he faces is that he has been diagnosed with lymphoma and an incurable neurological disease. Similarly, the prognosis of his lymphoma without treatment is that Jimmy would die within six months. However, if Jimmy's cancer was treated, he would only have less than a twenty percent chance of the treatment to be an effective cure. Moreover, Jimmy's life would only be able to be extended by an additional three to six months. Unfortunately, even if Jimmy's lymphoma is cured, the prognosis for his incurable neurological disease would only enable him to live to the age of twenty but slowly lose his basic human functions.

Moreover, these three moral principles are autonomy, beneficence and utility. Subsequently, autonomy has relevance to this case is because of the choices of what should happen to Jimmy which can be from what Jimmy's preference is or what his parent's want.The second principle, beneficence, is relevant to the case because it deals with the harm or help that can be done to Jimmy depending whether or not the doctor will treat Jimmy. Lastly, utility is relevant to the case due to the fact that the treatment given to Jimmy may or may not benefit not only Jimmy but other people as well. Ultimately, from the moral principles, the central moral problem is who gets to make the decision of whether Jimmy receives treatment or not. Furthermore, the three principles greatly tie into the moral problem because they are factors that would be considered in order to find a proper

Health Care is always going to have laws and regulations to go by. However, not every employee in the health care field is going to abide by these rules and regulations. Therefor, courts have plenty of health care cases come into their court every year because of negligence. In some cases, the courts decide in the patient 's favor and others decide in the facilities or doctor 's favor. The judge and Jury members have to be given plenty of evidence and facts in order to provide both the defendant and plaintiff with a fair judgment. In most cases not everyone is happy with the decision of the outcome that the jury comes up with. To avoid horrific incidents, physicians must not be negligent with their patients.

1. I do believe that large pharmaceutical companies as well as doctors prescribing opioid medication should be held partially responsible in cases when patients are over-prescribed drugs. Although they are in no way actually forcing those patients who are over-prescribed these drugs to misuse them and it is ultimately the fault of the individual misusing the medication, they are, however, allowing for the the misuse.In regards to pharmaceutical companies, I think that they should be held responsible for marketing and allowing such drugs available to virtually the mass public opposed to only those that need it in order to increase their profits. If they would not advertise the medication to medical professionals as something that they could
