No matter what Tijuana’s job was at the hospital, she went into personal, confidential records and obtained damaging information. She then took that information and shared it with others. Complete violation of privacy. She had no right to not only snoop in his records but then to spread it around work. She should have been fired from both places of employment and should have had to pay for her ignorance.
In the case of “Jane Doe”, a kidney transplant patient, complete disclosure of risks about her procedure was not given. This failure to inform the patient led to her contracting not only hepatitis, but also HIV. The report claims, “Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network in Elmhurst and the University of Chicago both knew the kidney donor was high-risk and did not inform the patient” (Vaughn 152). The physicians did not inform her of the risks of her new kidney transplant. Without this knowledge, Jane Doe gave what she believed was her informed consent for the surgery, which consequently violated her right to self-determination and did her extreme harm rather than good.
The nurse was violating the patient’s autonomy when she did not do CPR on the woman. In this situation, the patient was not capable to say if she wanted the treatment or not. All of the medical facilities that the patient belongs to are required to have a DNR form for situations like this. The patient’s emergency person should have been contacted as soon as possible. If this action was done right away, the patient might have had a chance to live.
As Mentioned by Messerli, “It would violate doctors' Hippocratic oath. Upon receiving a medical degree, each doctor is required to take a Hippocratic oath, which says among other thing, First, do no harm. Assisting in suicides would be a violation of that oath, and it would lead to a weakening of doctor-patient trust”. The Hippocratic oath was made so that the patients could trust that their doctors would help them and not harm them. The doctors would not only be going against what they swore to do but also that could weaken the trust patients have with their
The Argument Essay: Yes to Medically Assisted Suicide! Terminally-ill people should have the right to medically assisted suicide. A person should have the choice of deciding whether or not they want to continue living if they know they only have a lifetime of pain and suffering ahead of them. Medically assisted suicide will not be the first choice a patient receives to fight their terminal illness; it will be the last resort if all else is futile. Many people are against medically assisted suicide because they feel it goes against a doctor’s code of ethics but not allowing a patient to have options is unfair to them; let them decide what they want for themselves.

One last example I would like to share is that of a 21 year old woman, Toni Marie King. According to the web staff for the, The Daily Herald of Roanoke Rapids, NC, King was arrested Feb. 3 for stealing beer from a Roanoke Rapids convenience store. Police said she fought with the arresting officer and shouted insults and profanity.

Grant, Jr., sexually assaulted a 33-year-old woman on a Virginia beach one Tuesday in 1991. The assault was videotaped by a tourist who (not having a permit to carry a concealed handgun for protection) apparently could do nothing to help except record the crime. The following day, Wednesday, Charles Grant raped a 12-year-old girl. News broadcasts of the videotape of Grant's Tuesday assault frightened many people in the nearby Nags Head community. A young woman named Sonya Miller had wanted a handgun for a while, and on that Wednesday, her father bought her a .38 Special revolver.
He and others like Gabrielle Giffords are even bringing the parents of the children who were lost in Sandy Hook to make tearful pleas to pass the amendment. Gabrielle Giffords is yet another example that proves my theory. She was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner in 2011 in the middle of a constituent meeting she held. Loughner was expelled from college for disruptive behavior and was showing many signs of mental distress prior to the shooting. So much so that his parents disabled his car at night and took his shot gun away from him.
