Case Study 3 pages

In responding to the assigned case study, I expect you to assume the frames of mind of an ethicist as follows:

1. Be judicious: read the case at least twice and then ask yourself what is at stake in the context of the parties involved.

2. Be empathetic: think about the underlying assumptions which guide the parties who are involved in the case. Then try to draw out the erroneous and correct aspects of their positions on that basis.

3. Be sensitive to the religious and cultural differences of the parties involved and attempt to reconcile any such differences in a fair and equitable fashion.

4. In making recommendations to solve the dilemma of the given case, try to be realistic and sensible to current practices, norms, and beliefs.

5. Be aware of your own cultural, religious, and social background in order to prevent it from distorting your ethical judgment.

6. Do not allow religious norms to be the sole standard of your ethical judgment.

7. Apply the golden rule; treat the case, more specifically the interests of the parties involved as you would wish your own interests to be treated.
