Classical Arrangement: Why Stem Cell Research Is Moral
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Controversy surrounding hotly debated medical procedures abounds, particularly when there are ethical and moral concerns involved. The extent to which stem cell research has ignited a veritable battle is both grand and far-reaching; that opponents and supporters alike hold such fervent opinions illustrates the tremendous implications of the method's potentiality. However, as with virtually all debates of this emotional magnitude, one side typically holds a greater foundation of validity than the other; with the subject of stem cell research, it is quite clear to see how it is a moral procedure given its ability to save untold numbers of lives that would otherwise be lost.

Considering Organ Donation
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When one considers the fact that a single individual can give life to more than seven people, it is astounding to think that anyone would not consider organ donation.

Typically, when asked for a reason, the most common answers incorporate religion or fear, both of which carry with them heavy ethical motivation. The writer discusses the controversy behind organ donation, as well as addresses the views of Aristotle, Kant and Mill. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Currently Accepted Definition Of Death
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. With the agonizing demise of Terri Schiavo, the question of what defines death has come to the forefront of philosophical and medical debate. When is a person dead? When they can no longer take care of themselves? When they have no quality of life? When there is no hope for reversal of deterioration of brain and other organs should the individual awaken from a coma?

Cyborg or Quality of Life?
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper discussing where IT should go in supporting "bionics" research. Biomedical and biomechanical research is totally dependent on the availability of high-volume and high-dependability computing systems. The fears of creating a cyborg are ill founded. Though they make great entertainment and provide many ideas for philosophical exercise, they cannot overcome the laws of physics on which reality is based. The benefits of biomedical enhancement are clear, however. They have the ability not only to improve afflicted individuals' quality of life in practical terms, but also to carry positive effect in sociological realms. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
