Ob-gyn Robert Welch has spent many years trying to show mothers-to-be exactly how dangerous smoking while pregnant is. He, as well as other Ob-gyns have seen the complications far too many times. Babies born premature, too small or still born are all related to their mothers smoking.

Natural Law provides a helpful response to ethical issues in business. Discuss Natural law could be considered to be a helpful response to any ethical dilemma because it provides clear and absolute principles for people to follow. However, an issue with this is whether having one ‘rule’ for business is helpful, due to the diverse nature of the business world and the wide variety of ethical concerns that may arise. Natural Law is anthropocentric and considers that the main priority in life is for humans to fulfil their God given purpose and so it would decide upon ethical dilemmas on the basis of whether it helped or hindered a person in fulfilling their telos. The fundamental principle of Natural Law is to do good and to avoid evil – a difficulty with this would be that this often requires a value judgement as it may not be clear where the ‘good’ is to be found.

Fans have been said to feel “robbed”, “duped”, and “cheated” by the players that have admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs (Rhoden).
Why are ethical behaviour and government regulations important to marketing? Ethical behaviour is used within many businesses to ensure the business provides accurate information to customers as well as other businesses to engage in fair competition. It is important for a business to have ethical behaviour in relation to the marketing side of the business so that goods produced, promoted then sold do not provide misleading information. If identified by consumers, it can have a major impact on all functions of the business as it has the potential to ruin the business’s reputation placing the business at a declining stage of the business’s life cycle. In a similar manner government regulations are also important and must be overviewed by all functions of a
