Ethical treatment

Individuals seek medical treatment everyday to stay healthy, treat an illness, or to stay alive. We all seek treatment whether it is voluntary or in an emergency basis. Some individuals suffer from severe illnesses, in which they might get to a certain point and decide to refuse medical treatment because they do not want to go through the pain anymore. Doctors face at least one ethical issue on a day-to-day basis due to patients refusing medical treatment, and possibly wanting to end their lives

Ethical Issues in HIV Prophylactic Treatment On July 2012, the U.S F.D.A approved the drug – Tenovir/Emtricitabine, as the first drug to be used in the pre-exposure prevention of HIV in adults who had the highest risk of contracting the disease. The research, backed by clinical trials proved that routine intake of the prophylaxis drug was likely to reduce the risk of contracting HIV transmitted through sex. This was good news given the growing number of new cases of the disease in the United States

while others do not. Zoos are forcing exotic animals into captivity which can cause psychological damage to them. Foremost, the animals can be affected mentally through being trapped at the zoo. An organization called The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA) believe that “zoochosis” is a specific psychological distress in zoo animals much like deprivation caused by boredom, loneliness, or abuse. Zoochosis causes animals to rock, sway, or pace endlessly (Zoos and Other, 2017). By

there are no animal protection laws. Mistakenly, many buyers worldwide could be wearing clothes discreetly containing animal fur and not even know it. An organization named PETA, which stands for “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals”, campaigns for the moral and humane treatment of animals. An informative and eye catching ad can persuade a reader to open their eyes to covert issues.

Factory farming is a hot topic amongst animal rights groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) or the Humane Society. Most animal rights organizations object to the use of gestation crates in modern pig farming. Gestation crates are individualized spaces designed to restrict the movement of the pigs contained within its four walls (see Figure 1) during the gestation, or pregnancy, cycle of a pig. The reason for this is mainly for safety, but health and cleanliness are also

psychological studies unprincipled violations have constructed ethical standards that are essential in today’s research. These moral dilemmas created established professional and federal standards for performing research with human and animal participants, known as, psychological ethical codes. The Tuskegee syphilis study and the Stanford prison experiment highlighted a psychological study without proper patients’ consent and appropriate treatment, resulting in a research disaster with unethical incidents

Clinical Trials: An Ethical Approach I would like to begin my argument by noting that in the United States strict regulations are in place to protect clinical trial participants and to prevent harmful and potentially disastrous clinical trial results. Before participating in a trial all trial participants are given an informed consent form that presents the key facts of the study; all participants also maintain the right to withdraw from the study at any time. According to the National Institute

Within our society, we as humans have many ethical issues that we must discuss in order to progress. Even with all these issues many individuals don't look to understand animals and their rights to be free as well as healthy. Many companies use animals as test subjects in order to analyze or enhance their products. These tests come with cruelty or diminishing of that animals life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. There are also issues with the intermediate conditions and excessive constraints of

animals get treated with respect and are handled gently. If humans cannot stand the pain then why should animals, right? In an article, Jaqueline Longe states, “When possible, psychologists should first test painful stimuli on themselves” (“Ethical Treatment of Animals” 2). This shows that if the psychologists cannot handle the pain, then the animal should not either. It’s common sense. Euthanizing is a fancy word for putting an animal to death humanely. Euthanizing an animal has to be done a

Carbon, L. (2011, September 7). Pain in laboratory animals: The ethical and regulatory imperatives. PLoS ONE, 6(9), p. 1-6. doi:10.137Vjournal.pone.0021578. (2015, November 16). The article questions the view of whether animal testing is ethical and regulatory or not. The author addresses the ethical and social well-being of animals. Moreover, he claims that scientists still find the necessity to use live animals in experiments. Thus, having large variety of pain control to a more generalized level
