Withdrawal of medical care from minors at the terminal stage of life D is a 14-year-old boy who has Hunter syndrome, a serious genetic disorder for which there is no known cure. His life expectancy is less than two years. D was admitted to the University Medical Center because he was experiencing difficulty breathing. Within a day of admission, he was placed on a ventilator to enable him to breathe. At the onset of aspiration, a tracheotomy procedure was performed, and a feeding tube (PEG tube) was inserted into his stomach. D’s condition is considered stable. He is alert, tracks people with his eyes, recognizes his mother, and seems to enjoy watching cartoons and videotapes. D is generally not in pain, though he makes it known he does not like to be suctioned. He experiences pain when he is moved because he is edematous*. His connective tissue is filled with water, causing him pain and tightness. He is not on any pain medication due to the fleeting nature of the pain, which he experiences when he is moved, washed, or suctioned. D’s parents decided to remove D from the respirator. D’s mother and father both testified they understood that removing the ventilator would accelerate D’s death, but felt removal was in his best interest and would put an end to his suffering. D’s mother visits D every day in the hospital and was his primary caregiver until he was admitted. There is no question D’s parents want what is best for him. When D’s parents requested that D be removed from the respirator and that other medical care be terminated, Dr. C and Nurse H were not in agreement with the parents’ decision. Therefore, Dr. C brought the case before the hospital medical ethics committee for review. Instructions: Apply the Four Ethical Principles to the following stakeholders in this case: D, the parents, and the physician (12 points). Using the Deontological Theory, make an ethical judgment about this case. Support your argument (3 points).

Scientists have successfully tested a new drug against malaria on animals, and the pharmaceutical company is requesting permission from the FDA to test it on humans. In the request, the company argues that it does not foresee any adverse reactions in humans; however, as a precaution, it wants to test the drug in an impoverished rural population in Africa. The company will request that the participant sign a consent form. The FDA denied this request based on one ethical principle. Select the ethical principle that the scientists violated in this request according to the FDA.
