A woman is near death from a special kind of cancer. There is one drug that doctors know will save her, with 100% certainty, but it is very expensive. The sick woman's husband cannot afford the medicine. He explains the situation to the druggist, but the druggist refuses to give him the drug. Having tried every legal means, the husband gets desperate and considers breaking into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife.
Should the husband steal the drug? Why or why not?
Should the husband be punished for stealing? Why or why not?
What if the drug only had a 50% chance of working? 1%? Does this change your assessment?
Which is most likely a cancer treatment?
a drug that kills only very small cells
a drug that kills only very large cells
a drug that kills only slowly dividing cells
a drug that kills only rapidly dividing cells
The medical imaging technology magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used in hospitals and radiology clinics. MRI creates detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body using a powerful magnetic field and radio waves.
1)Even when the MRI machine is not in use, MRI system operators make sure not to bring any metallic objects into the room where the machine is housed. Why?
And what happens if a magnet is heated?Elaborate your answer
