Ethics Case Study

The problem solving methods that might be helpful to assist Jerry in making an ethical decision would be to establish trust with the patient and become aware of the problem. Then analyze the problems and decide on a plan with the patient. He will then want to make sure he reinforces the commitment to the patient and activate the plan. Last, he will follow through with the task and monitor everything until the situation is taken care of.

“Should We Care About Genetically Modified Foods?” by John N. Shaw appeared in Food Safety News issue of February 1, 2010, as a feature under the health section on the controversy between the pros and cons of genetically modified foods (Also known as GMO, genetically modified organisms). The main idea of this article is to inform people of the benefits of GMOs . The author, John Shaw received his Bachelor of Science degree in Finance with a minor in Marketing from the University of Arkansas in 2007, where he was a “leadership scholar.” In addition to his studies, he has worked as a research assistant with Food Law LL.M. Director Susan Schneider, interned with Wal-Mart Government and Corporate Affairs division, the Arkansas Attorney General Public Protection Division, and with United States Senator Blanche Lincoln. John has a passion for Food Law, sports, and outdoors. In the article, he states, “ I submit that I am no scientist; merely an interested student.” According to the article, he is passionate and has done sufficient research about the topic to support his argument.

In the essay “Genetically Modified Food: Watching What We Eat,” by Julie Cooper, she argues against the rampant use of genetically modified food (GMO) without any current form of regulation. Cooper discusses the possibility of health risks to those consuming foods with altered genes and the food’s capabilities to have far-reaching health risks. She continues with a discussion as to how and why the creation and use of the GMOs have become so unregulated. She then discusses the response, which is the public’s cry for their right to make informed choices. Other topics discusses are the political, environmental, and corporate ramifications of the rise of GMOs.

“By 1999, to avoid labels that might drive customers away, most major European retailers had removed genetically modified ingredients from products bearing their brand.” (Chayka 1). Today most people seem to be more concerned about what is in their food. The author shows his concerns about GMOs and uses statistics to help his argument. All of the author’s reasoning makes me concerned and worried about our food and the safety of everyone else. People’s health is important for this world to survive and live a healthy lifestyle. GMO labels should be honest about their food no matter what issue they may face. People trust these brands and most likely stick with it for most of their lives. The important part of food companies is being honest with their ingredients, not interfering or harming other food companies, and ensuring the safety of its consumers.

Preview your Main Points: GMO’s have put millions of people around the world at serious health risks in order to gain the benefit of economic success. Unknown reactions from genetically modified food seem to be overlooked by many.

Nurses are faced with ethical issues and dilemmas on a regular basis. Nurses must understand his or her values and morals to be able to deal adequately with the ethical issues he or she is faced with. Some ethical issues nurses are exposed to may be more difficult than others and the ethical decision making process is learned over time.

4) If you were crafting GMO public policy, what would you recommend? If I were crafting a GMO policy I would make all GM food have a mandatory test of at least 7 years to see if there any affects that come from a genetically manufactured foods, and I would make it mandatory that once the GMO foods are deemed safe they should be labeled as GMO foods so that public knows what they are eating. Even though some companies will lose money from lack of business, I believe that all genetically modified crops should be labeled. Regardless of the positive or negative outcomes, I think we should have a right to know what’s in the food we are eating. Therefore we are responsible for the outcome of the modified crops and must make mandates that make the GM producers label their foods. So ultimately we leave up to the public if they want to eat GM products but at least they will know that it is a GM product with those labels.

Some health groups say there are unanswered questions regarding the potential long-term impact on human health from food derived from GMOs, and propose mandatory labeling[150][151] or a moratorium on such products.[152][153][154] Concerns include contamination of the non-genetically modified food supply,[155][156] effects of GMOs on the environment and nature,[152][154] the rigor of the regulatory process,[153][157] and consolidation of control of the food supply in companies that make and sell GMOs,[152] or concerns over the use of herbicides with

Goldman's essay focuses on the regulations governing genetically modified (GM) foods, and in particular looks at the FDA's standards for GM foods in order to see if the regulations remain relevant and applicable to the current state of GM foods. She concludes by suggesting that for various reasons, the FDA's labeling requirements are not sufficient, because they do not apply to GM foods. Although the essay focuses on food labels more than the controversy surrounding GM foods, Goldman includes a number of useful statistics and insights into the spread of GM foods and their share of the overall market, and the research that went into Goldman's essay provided a good background for this study. Furthermore, her essay implicitly helps make the case that GM foods, though widely discussed, are not considered appropriately because many of those engaging in the discourse surrounding GM foods have outdated, irrelevant, or otherwise unhelpful data.

Did you know, the “‘Monsanto Protection Act’ effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of controversial genetically modified (aka GMO) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds, no matter what health issues may arise concerning GMOs in the future” (“5 Appalling Facts”)? Genetic engineering allows genetic material to be transferred between any organism, including between plants and animals. Genetically modified foods have been in existence since the early 1990s and they are not going away any time soon. In the European Union, “Member States may provisionally restrict or prohibit the use and/or sale of the GM product on its territory.” However, the Member State must have a justifiable reason to consider that

Another issue that institutes the requirements for labeling of GMO products is safety and health risks (Bain & Dandachi, 2014). This concern goes hand in hand with the right of the consumers to have a choice on what to consume. Labeling would ensure that the customers are purchasing what they deem safe and take home what they are not allergic to their health conditions. The branding on the GMO products would exclusively give a consumer the power to control what their families eat as they can deduct how the products were manufactured or processed. Further, the labeling increases empowerment and transparency in the food system that would allow people have a say on what they consume. The next section is going to discuss the major points that surround the testing of GMOs, the reasons why agribusiness are refusing labeling of GMOs, and the health risks and environmental impacts of GMOs.
