Death with Dignity Act
The death with dignity Act is carefully constructed and protects both doctor and patient. In order for PAS to be legal, the patient must be sane and properly informed about potential alternatives. This is an ethical template that other states considering such a law might be encouraged to adopt.1. Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?2. which do you think is the most ethical and why?
Moral Argumentation
A fascinating element of this case is the fact that so few people involved with Theranos asked the basic question of whether or not the technology worked and many employees who knew the technology did not work did not come forward. Many people with the duty to ask questions did not. For example, a board of directors should exercise due diligence, which assures that the companys financial picture is sound and that the companys actions do not harm others. The Theranos board seemed uninterested in either function. Theranos board member George Shultz testified under oath that, despite escalating allegations, he believed Holmess claims about her technology and it did not occur to him to probe into it. Similarly, very few investors asked basic scientific questions and many employees were too afraid of losing their jobs to come forward. These failures could be argued to have resulted in direct harm to patients who were relying on the faulty tests for medical decisions. Considering that Holmes and Balwani are the only ones charged by the SEC and the only ones facing criminal charges, what, if any, moral responsibility should be placed on the board of directors, investors, and employees? In other words, did they have a moral responsibility to make sure that patients of the blood test were not harmed? Should those that enabled Holmes to continue to lie also be held accountable for their actions? Why or why not? Be sure to include moral argumentation to support your position.

Sociological Identity
It’s time to begin preparing for your last paper, due week 14. For this assignment, arrange an interview with someone who is a professional acquaintance (no family members or your best friend, please). This should be a 1-hour interview where you have chosen some open-ended questions to ask.The topic for your paper is sociological identity. This could be centered around one’s identity concerning culture, socialization, social class, group identity, gender/sexuality, racial/ethnic identity, etc. It can certainly be a mix of all of those. You will prepare for this assignment by reviewing the readings and your notes.First, begin by putting together a list of 8-10 questions. Your goal is to keep the interview as non-directive as possible (in other words, don’t ask ‘leading questions’ – example, “I bet that made you feel really bad, huh?”)To help keep your interview on target, and your paper on the right track, submit your interview questions to me here so that I can provide you with some ample feedback.
American Anthropologist
American Anthropologist 122 (2): 259-71.This provocative review published in one of the major anthropology journals in the US by a Black anthropologist at the prestigious University of Chicago is sure to provoke, anger and inspire difficult but long overdue discussions in the discipline. Jobsons call to reimagine traditional (and I would add predominantly white and male) anthropological questions, assumptions, theories, and methods is a welcome and necessary plea at a moment of cascading calamities for the planet but also for the discipline of anthropology itself. The author argues that in order to survive, anthropology must reject the tradition of liberal humanism and instead embrace a radically new, relevant, and engaged anthropology that is capable of confronting the present ecological catastrophe and authoritarian retrenchment. What would it mean, Jobson asks, for anthropologists to dialogue and work collaboratively across boundaries to produce different kinds ofknowledge that explore complex and contested spaces and places? He cites key ethnographic research published in 2019 that grappled imaginatively with the twin crises of climate change and authoritarian governance. Arguing against technological and state fixes and in favor of an anthropology that confronts its origins in the wake of the plantation, Jobson suggests that letting anthropology burn could lead us to a radical, necessary, abolitionist anthropology that embraces a new humanism as its political horizon.
