Anencephalic donors

Article Abstract:

The moral and ethical issues raised in the debate over organ donation by living anencephalic infants must be seriously considered because they influence people's notion of interest. Since it is the parents who decide to donate the organs of their children, it is generally assumed that the parents are acting in the best interests of the children. In the final analysis, however, parents can only be said to be truly acting in the best interests of the anencephalic neonates if they treat them as much as they want themselves to be treated and if they realize the importance of their children.

Abortion

Article Abstract:

The Pennsylvania Statute designed to curtail the availability of abortion was supported by the Supreme Court in all but one aspect. The necessity of obtaining an approval from a spouse was left out. The Court recognized the need for a 24-hour period in which a woman must wait before going through an abortion. Minors must also seek permission from at least one parent. The decision by the Supreme Court had eradicated any sense of compromise concerning abortion. It had also caused a controversy on federal court handling of issues on a state level.

Allocation: business and trust

Article Abstract:

A patient's trust in a physician is affected by the type of payment the physician receives. Fee-for-service patients trust their physicians more than those engaged in capitation method of payment. The trust of patients whose physicians were straight-forwardly salaried is also lesser compared to their fee-for-service counterparts. Physicians' dissatisfaction with the system in which they work negatively affects the trust between them and their patients.
