Question 4
To determine the bioethics principles, we analyze the case. Beneficence is about doing good; the medical team’s efforts to get a life - saving transplant for Charlie (improving her health, giving her a chance at life) fit this. Justice is about fair access; addressing financial barriers so Charlie (who needed the surgery) could access it is about fair distribution of medical resources, fitting justice.
This is a question about the ethics of organ allocation. The key is to consider the balance between saving one life with multiple organs and saving multiple lives with those organs. The answer argues it's wrong as using five organs to save one life when they could save five lives (implying a more utilitarian view of maximizing the number of lives saved) is not right.
The question is about media intervention in medical/ethical situations. The answer focuses on the need for help: Charlie was in need, and media intervention could make her situation known to the world, leading to people being able to help her. This considers the role of media in raising awareness for those in need.
