These advances have drawn the attention of members of Congress, resulting in governmental at- tempts to regulateparental decisions concerning the extent of medical treatment to be rendered in these cases. After examining the brief history of the resulting regulations, the author recommends that, absent providingfor comfort care to the ill infant, governmental regulation is inappropriate.

    AMA Journal of Ethics® June 2018, Volume 20, Number 6: 581-588 HISTORY OF MEDICINE Getting Past Dax Monica L. Gerrek, PhD Abstract Much has been written about Dax Cowart’s tragic burn injury, treatment, and recovery. While Dax’s case is certainly important to conversations regarding decision making in burn care, his is not the only story there is. In this article, the case of Andrea Rubin, also a severe burn survivor, is introduced as another voice in this conversation. Her experience during treatment and recovery is very different from Dax’s and should cause us to at least pause and reconsider how we think about treatment and decision making in burn care. Two Survivors, Two Stories In 1973, 25-year-old Dax Cowart, former captain of his high school football team, former Air Force pilot, rodeo rider, and aspiring commercial pilot, was severely burned as a result of a freak accident.1-5 Dax’s father had inadvertently parked his car on a bridge over a leaking propane pipe, and a spark from an attempt to start the car caused an explosion. His father was killed and Dax suffered a burn to 65% of his total body surface area (TBSA), with third-degree burns to his face, ears, and hands.1 Most of his fingers were amputated and he lost vision in both eyes. His words to the first person, a farmer, who arrived at the scene were, “Get me a gun. Can’t you see I’m a dead man. I’m going to die anyway.”2 During his very painful 14 months of treatment—6 in the hospital and 8 in a rehabilitation facility—Dax repeatedly requested that the team discontinue treatment.

For many, the thought of an ignoble end, steeped in decay, is abhorrent. A quiet, proud death, bodily integrity intact, is a matter of extreme consequence. — Justice William Brennan1 I. Introduction In 2013, the Oklahoma legislature passed the Oklahoma Nondiscrimination in Treatment Act (the Act).2 This Act further complicates the already complicated landscape of medical futility by restricting physicians’ ability to adhere to ethical obligations and make decisions in accordance with their own professional consciences. The legislature did this with almost no political discussion in a state with no reported medical futility or withdrawal of life-sustaining

    Legislative Council Tuesday, 28 August 2007 THE PRESIDENT (Hon Nick Griffiths) took the chair at 3.30 pm, and read prayers. BLACKMORE PRIMARY SCHOOL Petition HON PETER COLLIER (North Metropolitan) [3.31 pm]: I present the following petition - To the President and Members of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned residents of Western Australia, respectfully and strongly support the retention of the Blackmore Primary School in its current location in Girrawheen, and with not less than its current educational capacities. Blackmore Primary School is a highly effective and highly regarded centre for primary education and learning in the suburb of Girrawheen. In Girrawheen it is a leading school in terms of both education results and initiatives. It’s students and school community are well served by both the teachers and the school’s leadership The school is the only school in the West of Girrawheen and is therefore best placed to serve that half of the suburb. Blackmore Primary School also has excellent parking facilities, which result in no disruption to local residents or traffic passing along major roads through the suburb, an advantage not shared by other schools in Girrawheen. Your petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council do everything in its power to ensure that Blackmore Primary School is not closed and remains to serve the interests of children in the West of Girrawheen, from its current location and with its current education capacities. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will every pray. The petition bears 962 signatures and I certify that it conforms to the standing orders of the Legislative Council.

This course addresses the ethical basis of medical research and practice, including distinct ideas of autonomy, health, well-being, and disease. We cover some of the most prominent and fraught issues that have arisen in the legal regulation of medical care, such as euthanasia and assisted suicide, cultural and historical differences surrounding questions of reproduction, and issues of information-flow, privacy, and confidentiality, as well as justice and healthcare. Since this course will take place in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will also investigate the ethical dilemmas that arise during global pandemics. Course Readings Required book: Lewis Vaughn (ed) (2020) Bioethics: Principles, Issues, and Cases, New York/Oxford: Oxford University Press (ISBN: 9780190903268) All readings, including the 4th edition of the textbook, will be available on Google Classroom. Requirements Academic Integrity Bard College Berlin maintains the staunchest regard for academic integrity and expects good academic practice from students in their studies.

HEIDI GOROVITz ROBERTSON* ABSTRACT Long before its crystallization as an academic discipline in the 1960s and '70s, bioethics was evolving from isolated ideas and theories into a coherent and practical field. Today, people train in academic bio- ethics programs and seek careers as bioethicists. Hospitals, universities, government organizations, and corporations hire bioethicists, where they use their training to help make decisions regarding life or death issues in science and medicine. Although there is controversy over the extent and content of the influence they exert there, bioethicists have achieved a seat at the decision-making table. Environmental ethics also emerged in the 1960s and'70s, beginning most notably when Rachel Carson opened America's eyes to the environ- mental ills of the times.
