20 questions
Question 1: Surgery to take a perfectly healthy kidney from a child for donation is in the donor child’s best interests.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: The study materials state that 'surgery to take a perfectly healthy kidney from a child is simply not in that donor child’s best interests.' This means that such a surgery does not align with the best interests standard for the donor child.
Question 2: According to the study materials, how do medical ethicists, when applying a principle-based approach, generally address the principle of nonmaleficence in the context of living organ donation?
A. They strictly adhere to it, considering living organ donation immoral due to the harm to the donor.
B. They acknowledge it but ultimately ignore it, allowing moral discernment to triumph.
C. They redefine it to include the benefit to the recipient, thereby justifying the procedure.
D. They consider it paramount, but only if the donor has no other family members who could donate.
Explanation: The study materials state, 'Today, when it comes to organ donation from the living, medical ethicists who rely on a principle-based approach ignore their principle of nonmaleficence... Fortunately, moral discernment triumphed over the moral principles of nonmaleficence and totality.' This indicates that they acknowledge the principle but ultimately set it aside in favor of moral discernment.
Question 3: There is moral justification at this time for experimenting with xenografts on children.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: Children cannot make the choice to become subjects of xenografts, and there is no moral reason for forcing such interventions upon them.
Question 4: According to the study materials, which statements reflect an ethical consideration regarding animal welfare in the context of xenotransplantation?
A. A healthy baboon with a high level of neurological development was killed to retrieve its heart for the transplant.
B. The loss of animal life is described as a 'bad feature' in the ethics of the good, warranting complete moral deliberation.
C. The ethical review board's reasons for justifying the killing of an animal for transplantation were not made public.
D. The primary ethical concern regarding animal welfare was the potential for the baboon to suffer during the organ retrieval process.
Explanation: The study materials explicitly state that 'A baboon, a healthy animal with a high level of neurological development, was killed to retrieve his heart,' making option 0 correct. It also notes that 'the loss of life (including animal and environmental life) is always a bad feature in the ethics of the good, and concern for the loss is part of any complete moral deliberation,' validating option 1. Furthermore, the text mentions, 'We do not know what reasons IRB members used to justify killing an animal and implanting its heart into Baby Fae,' which supports option 2. Option 3 is incorrect as the text discusses the 'loss of life' as a bad feature, not specifically the suffering during organ retrieval.
Question 5: The Jarvik-7 permanent artificial heart was acknowledged by various articles, including one by Dr. DeVries, as a major problem due to its tendency to become a site for infection and a source of clots causing strokes.
A. Ano
B. Ne
Explanation: In 1988, several articles, including one by Dr. DeVries himself, acknowledged a major problem with the permanent artificial heart, stating that it inevitably became a site for infection and a source of clots that caused strokes.
