Is it ethically appropriate for a doctor to accept the gifts as described in Stephanie Saul’s editorial? What are the concerns related to the subject and how significant are they? Be sure to explain and define your terms. What do you mean by “ethical” or “unethical”?
2) Review one of the Case Studies at the bottom of the page and identify the ethical dilemma implied there, and write an essay that explores how and why that example is ethically problematic.
3) Write your own original essay inspired by any issue established in the editorial or case study.
A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES:
Using Examples: Regardless of what you choose to write about, be sure to support your position with specific examples and quotes from the text; however, do not summarize excessively! Instead, use the quote or reference from the articles as a “spring board” for your own ideas, and be sure to include outside evidence to bolster your argument—that might include data and facts, historical or cultural examples to bolster your argument, but also books, movies, current events, or any other sources that seem pertinent to the discussion. I would not use a personal example unless it’s relatively unusual and persuasive.
