Chapter 11
Part 1
It must be illegal to have abortions if the parents are not satisfied with gender or race. This is because there should exist appropriate reasons for abortions such as medical issues including mental disability. But abortions for gender or race selection is unethical. This reflects a serious breach of human rights and seen as an act of stopping population growth of girls or blacks CITATION Bon151 \l 1033 (Fremgen, 2015). The killing of fetus is a murder and it must be avoided unless there are any serious issues. Sex-selected or race-selected abortions are unethical and illegal in many states of America. When abortions are lacking any valid reason they are unethical and immoral.
The only reason justified for abortions is serious health issues. This may include mental abnormality, genetic problems or lifetime disability. The abortions are also ethical when parents are unable to fulfil the financial requirements due to conditions of extreme poverty.
Part 2
The transplant follows strong medical ethics and defines standards of care that must be adopted during the surgery. Organ and tissue donation is ethical if it involves informed consent of the patient. This reflects that the hospitals or states cannot take the decision of donating organ without the consent of the patient. Sarah Fudacz, et al. v. The University of Toledo Medical Center; 2014 reveals that complaint was filed against the defendant claiming the medical negligence, sibling loss of consortium and parental loss of consortium. Emotional distress was also reported. Sarah was the plaintiff who revived the kidney from her brother CITATION Bon151 \l 1033 (Fremgen, 2015). The kidney was disposed of by the nurse at the time when Sarah was prepared for surgery. This reflects negligence of duty and malpractice. The Ohio state allows donation of organs including kidney.
