According to your worldview, what value does a human person have? How does your position affect your stance on controversial bioethical issues, such as abortion, designer babies, and stem cell research?

Along with this week’s topic…the COVID-19 virus has presented us with some very significant challenges. The demographic at high risk appears to be the elderly. How does what you’ve learned this week about Imago Dei and the sanctity of life inform your attitude toward the care of the elderly?

Title: According to your worldview, what value does a human person have? PHI 413

I think with COVID and even other diseases such as the flu that are higher risk to elderly, there are many people out there who are very compassionate towards the elderly population and want to do everything to protect them. Unfortunately, we have also seen many people who are not, my mind goes mostly to anti-vaxxers. These people seem willing to sacrifice older generations for the sake of “personal choice” or even conspiracy theories surrounding the vaccine. I do think whether or not you get the vaccine should still be up to personal choice, employers and others shouldn’t be forcing people to get vaccinated under threat of losing their job, but people still should consider who they are affecting by not accepting the vaccine. Their co-worker’s children who are too young for the vaccine, their friend who is undergoing chemotherapy, or their grandparent who is at high risk of dying from the disease even with a vaccine. Every one of those lives is important, simply because they are God’s creations and He loves them all more than we can understand, and it is our job to treat every life as sacred and protect them to the best of our ability.

This question hits close to home as my boyfriend and I are currently at home quarantined with the COVID-19 virus. I am also an emergency room nurse and prior to me being in quarantine for COVID-19 virus, I took care of many elderly individual with the COVID-19 virus. With learning about Imago Dei, I do not think it will change my care any differently because I treated my patients with dignity and respect prior to knowing what this term was (White, 2020). It is nice now knowing an official definition for my views though and if I ever start to have a weak point and start to sway from these views, I will remember Imago Dei.

I believe that my attitude toward to the care of the elderly is a dignified, respectful and compassionate approach. I do not hesitate to care for the Covid positive patients even though I have Lupus and at times take medications that cause me to be even more immunocompromised. I protect myself with the proper personal protective equipment and while caring for them, I do not treat them in a manner that would let them think I am fearful or unhappy to be their nurse. I understand the elderly are at significant risk to succumb to Covid, That is why I did not plan a visit with my elderly mother who was in a nursing home until I was fully vaccinated and the surge of Covid infections was on the decrease. Every life is important whether it be that of a newborn who has just begun their life or the elderly who have lived long lives, every human, every life deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, care and respect.

Hi Dr. Smartt, I agree with you that COVID-19 virus has been challenging. This virus has affected many people, and the elderly has been one of the high-risk group populations. As a Christian, I belief in the concept that God created every human in the image of God; consequently, all human beings are worth the same. When providing care as a nurse during this time of COVID-19, I see a human being regardless of race, age, sex, or educational level, I provide care to the needed. However, an elder person is more vulnerable, and at higher risk for other medical conditions and It makes me sad that many people don’t take the proper precautions to protect this population. I have teenage kids, and I always tell them they need to take the precautions necessary to prevent them from getting COVID-19 to protect my parents and grandmother.

Every single one of us, in my view, has value. Humans were created in God’s likeness and are tasked with carrying out God’s plan for the planet. Everything happens for a reason, and I think that God has a purpose for everyone of us, even if we don’t recognize it or comprehend it. Individuals, in my opinion, have the right to make their own decisions. Abortion, in my opinion, may be justified in extreme circumstances, such as when the mother’s life is endangered by pregnancy difficulties or when the pregnancy is the consequence of rape. I believe that when two consenting adults participate in an action that is known to result in pregnancy and that pregnancy occurs, the result should be acknowledged and supported as a matter of principle and duty. My position, on the other hand, cannot supersede an individual’s right to self-determination, therefore I am pro-choice. Because they have an influence on human life, bioethical concerns, abortion, designer babies, and stem cell research are all contentious. The issue is whether these things are good or destructive to God’s creation of human life. I support stem cell research because studies show that this science has the potential to heal or cure a wide range of ailments. When the issue of “designer babies” is discussed in the context of reducing the possibility of birth malformations and disabilities, it looks to be a promising one. On the other side, prospective parents are emotionally and financially committed in this therapy. Because of this investment and medical science’s expanding ability to modify gender and other physical features, we risk enticing people into fantasizing about and attempting to make the “ideal kid”. Therefore, I don’t support” designer babies”.

Nacheal,
It brings me peace when reading your post that God has a purpose for all of us. I have had a hard week as I have been battling COVID. This has been very frustrating for me as I am normally a busy body and hate having to be home with no energy. We also had individuals who use to be close friends not reach out to us even by text to check in on us, which does not help the situation at all knowing that we probably are no longer friends. I just need to put my trust in God that this is all part of His plan.

Growing up in a spiritual household as a person of faith and shaped by religion, I have been taught that human life is precious and priceless. It is also my experience that most people I have encountered feel the same way. Growing up, I was introduced to the doctrine of Imago Dei and that we have all been created in the image of God. However, as a human being filled with emotions, I cannot help but feel the contradiction and selfishness that I value the life of my family or loved one more than a complete stranger on the other side of the world. It is human nature to feel this way. My point is that although I think we are all created equal in the eyes of God, we are not perfect, and we are flawed and cannot help but value some lives more than others. In addition, as imperfect beings, we can be judgemental and not always realize someone else’s experiences and beliefs are very different than our own but of no less importance.
As a woman and a nurse, how I feel about controversial bioethical issues is as personal to me as I am sure it is to a patient I may have to treat. I have made personal and professional choices to reserve judgment on these controversial matters. I do not assume my values or beliefs are more important to me than those of other individuals I may encounter or treat.

Hello Tara,
Thank you for sharing; My roots are based on the principle that life is a gift and should be respected. We live in difficult times where many of us have lost a loved one, a friend; I am sure we all have had a deep reflection. It is challenging as health care providers when we encounter ourselves an ethical dilemma; one vivid example is when the pandemic started. There were not enough ventilators for each patient that needed it to be treated, leaving it up to the health care providers to decide who would get the next available ventilator. As healthcare providers, we are committed to providing the best care and advocating for our patients; in situations like this where we may feel powerless and contradict our convictions, I agree with your statement; we are ultimately caregivers that we are here to treat and care with kindness respecting each individual belief and faith.
As we begin this session, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify my expectations for this course:
Please note that GCU Online weeks run from Thursday (Day 1) through Wednesday (Day 7).
 
Course Room Etiquette:

It is my expectation that all learners will respect the thoughts and ideas presented in the discussions.
All postings should be presented in a respectful, professional manner. Remember – different points of view add richness and depth to the course!

 
Office Hours:

My office hours vary so feel free to shoot me an email at Kelly.Dellorusso1@my.gcu.edu or my office phone is 602.639.6517 and I will get back to you within one business day or as soon as possible.
Phone appointments can be scheduled as well. Send me an email and the best time to call you, along with your phone number to make an appointment.
I welcome all inquiries and questions as we spend this term together. My preference is that everyone utilizes the Questions to Instructor forum. In the event your question is of a personal nature, please feel free to post in the Individual Questions for Instructor forum I will respond to all posts or emails within 24 or sooner.

 
Late Policy and Grading Policy
Discussion questions:

I do not mark off for late DQ’s.
 I would rather you take the time to read the materials and respond to the DQ’s in a scholarly way, demonstrating your understanding of the materials.
I will not accept any DQ submissions after day 7, 11:59 PM (AZ Time) of the week.
Individual written assignments – due by 11:59 PM AZ Time Zone on the due dates indicated for each class deliverable.

Assignments:

Assignments turned in after their specified due dates are subject to a late penalty of -10%, each day late, of the available credit. Please refer to the student academic handbook and GCU policy.
Any activity or assignment submitted after the due date will be subject to GCU’s late policy
Extenuating circumstances may justify exceptions, which are at my sole discretion. If an extenuating circumstance should arise, please contact me privately as soon as possible.
No assignments can be accepted for grading after midnight on the final day of class.
All assignments will be graded in accordance with the Assignment Grading Rubrics

Participation

Participation in each week’s Discussion Board forum accounts for a large percentage of your final grade in this course.
Please review the Course Syllabus for a comprehensive overview of course deliverables and the value associated with each.
It is my expectation that each of you will substantially contribute to the course discussion forums and respond to the posts of at least three other learners.
A substantive post should be at least 200 words. Responses such as “great posts” or “I agree” do not meet the active engagement expectation.
Please feel free to draw on personal examples as you develop your responses to the Discussion Questions but you do need to demonstrate your understanding of the materials.
I do expect outside sources as well as class materials to formulate your post.
APA format is not necessary for DQ responses, but I do expect a proper citation for references.
Please use peer-related journals found through the GCU library and/or class materials to formulate your answers. Do not try to “Google” DQ’s as I am looking for class materials and examples from the weekly materials.
I will not accept responses that are from Wikipedia, Business dictionary.com, or other popular business websites. You will not receive credit for generic web searches – this does not demonstrate graduate-level research.
Stay away from the use of personal pronouns when writing. As a graduate student, you are expected to write based on research and gathering of facts. Demonstrating your understanding of the materials is what you will be graded on. You will be marked down for lack of evidence to support your ideas.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of claiming credit for another’s work, accomplishments, or ideas without appropriate acknowledgment of the source of the information by including in-text citations and references.
This course requires the utilization of APA format for all course deliverables as noted in the course syllabus.
Whether this happens deliberately or inadvertently, whenever plagiarism has occurred, you have committed a Code of Conduct violation.
Please review your LopesWrite report prior to final submission.
Every act of plagiarism, no matter the severity, must be reported to the GCU administration (this includes your DQ’s, posts to your peers, and your papers).

Plagiarism includes:

Representing the ideas, expressions, or materials of another without due credit.
Paraphrasing or condensing ideas from another person’s work without proper citation and referencing.
Failing to document direct quotations without proper citation and referencing.
Depending upon the amount, severity, and frequency of the plagiarism that is committed, students may receive in-class penalties that range from coaching (for a minor omission), -20% grade penalties for resubmission, or zero credit for a specific assignment. University-level penalties may also occur, including suspension or even expulsion from the University.
If you are at all uncertain about what constitutes plagiarism, you should review the resources available in the Student Success Center. Also, please review the University’s policies about plagiarism which are covered in more detail in the GCU Catalog and the Student Handbook.
We will be utilizing the GCU APA Style Guide 7th edition located in the Student Success Center > The Writing Center for all course deliverables.

LopesWrite

All course assignments must be uploaded to the specific Module Assignment Drop Box, and also submitted to LopesWrite every week.
Please ensure that your assignment is uploaded to both locations under the Assignments DropBox. Detailed instructions for using LopesWrite are located in the Student Success Center.

Assignment Submissions

Please note that Microsoft Office is the software requirement at GCU.
I can open Word files or any file that is saved with a .rtf (Rich Text Format) extension. I am unable to open .wps files.
If you are using a “.wps” word processor, please save your files using the .rtf extension that is available from the drop-down box before uploading your files to the Assignment Drop Box.

Grade of Incomplete

The final grade of Incomplete is granted at the discretion of the instructor; however, students must meet certain specific criteria before this grade accommodation is even possible to consider.
The grade of Incomplete is reserved for times when students experience a serious extenuating circumstance or a crisis during the last week of class which prevents the completion of course requirements before the close of the grading period. Students also must pass the course at the time the request is made.
Please contact me personally if you are having difficulties in meeting course requirements or class deadlines during our time together. In addition, if you are experiencing personal challenges or difficulties, it is best to contact the Academic Counselor so that you can discuss the options that might be available to you, as well as each option’s academic and financial repercussions.

Grade Disputes

If you have any questions about a grade you have earned on an individual assignment or activity, please get in touch with me personally for further clarification.
While I have made every attempt to grade you fairly, on occasion a misunderstanding may occur, so please allow me the opportunity to learn your perspective if you believe this has occurred. Together, we should be able to resolve grading issues on individual assignments.
However, after we have discussed individual assignments’ point scores, if you still believe that the final grade you have earned at the end of the course is not commensurate with the quality of work you produced for this class, there is a formal Grade Grievance procedure which is outlined in the GCU Catalog and Student Handbook.
