Case Analysis: Both the initial submission and revisions should be uploaded to Moodle by the stated time and date the assignment is due.
Purpose: The student must demonstrate the ability to research and write effectively on a topic in medical ethics (see the list below). The assignment develops the research abilities, the writing techniques, and the organization skills necessary to prepare an analytical and thoughtful exposition. An important element of good writing is the ability to use constructive criticism to revise a writing project. For this project, you will have an early initial submission date. The professor will read the project, provide you with comments and suggestions for improvement give it an initial grade, and return it via Moodle. You will have an opportunity to revise the project in light of the comments and suggestions and re-submit it for final grading on the final submission date.
Format: Your paper should be typed, double-spaced, and titled, with 1 inch margins all around; Times New Roman font, size 12. Number every page. The text of the paper should be 3 full pages in length (not including references or title page and show not exceed 3.5 pages). The text should be written in the third person. Every source of information used in the paper must be appropriately attributed and cited in APA format. For APA information, consult the links posted on Moodle or the Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/10/.
Submission: You must submit an electronic version of your paper with references to Moodle. Prepare your paper completely (you must consider it to be final) by the first submission date. The professor will review your work and prepare comments and suggestions on the research, content, organization, and grammar of the paper. You will receive an interim grade. You will then have time to revise and finalize your paper. The professor will review the final submission and issue a final grade. Your grade will be based upon the grading criteria described above, but finalization of your grade will be determined by how well you address the professor’s comments and suggestions on the final submission. You MUST turn in an initial and revised submission of the paper in order to receive a final grade. Failure to do either (initial or revised paper) will result in a 0.0 grade on the Case Analysis. Late assignments will not be accepted unless, at the discretion of the instructor, prior approval is given or proof of an unavoidable emergency is given.
Content and Research: Begin by informing yourself about some of the current topics in bioethics and the resources that are available for researching topics in bioethics. There are many resources that explore these issues from the disciplines of medicine, nursing, law, philosophy, religion, economics, history, politics, and others. When you search on the Internet, look for information at appropriate websites; i.e. non-commercial sites that have no particular vested interest in promoting a particular viewpoint. Some commercial sites are useful if they provide links to quality sites or summaries of information. But in the bioethics arena, you must be alert to identifying and discerning special interest biases when you search on the Internet. Do not overlook the library! There are many excellent books written on bioethics topics readily available in Kresge Library, Rochester Hills Public Library and other local public libraries.
Once you have a feel for what you might be interested in further exploring, select one of the ethical dilemmas below. Select the topic as early as possible so that you have adequate time to research the topic in general and think about the ethical and legal issues involved. Research the current literature (peer-reviewed articles and books) on the legal and bioethical issues involved. You will need to cite at least five sources of research in your paper. Select two peer-reviewed professional/scholarly journal articles relevant to your topic to deepen your knowledge of the ethical dilemma. You will then conduct an analysis of the dilemma by applying two of the major moral principles (NOT ethical theories) learned in class and explained in your text book to this dilemma and determining a solution to the dilemma. You may not choose beneficence and non-maleficence to use together.

I am going to talk about :
d) Recreational DNA testing, such as Ancestry DNA and 23andMe, and other DNA testing has opened a fascinating world of exploring genealogy and health risks. However, public concern has arisen around privacy and use of DNA data, and reliability/interpretation of results. For example, the Pentagon recently issued a warning to all US military personnel to not use any recreational DNA testing kits, particularly because military personnel are not covered by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. There is speculation that the Chinese government has mandated collection of DNA of its citizens to create a database to screen and survey for ethnic origins. Individuals have reported receiving information after DNA testing that they had elevated risks for developing certain conditions, only to find out that these were “false positives.” There have also been cases recently where law enforcement have solved crimes based on DNA forensics. Explore one of the ethical dilemmas described above and provide a recommendation for individuals to engage in recreational DNA testing or not.
