OUTLINE
Topic: Ethical Dilemmas
Thesis Statement: The video of the twins who are born at 26 weeks gives the reader a
perfect example of the ethical dilemmas that the medical practitioners are faced with in their
practice. In the video, a couple gives birth to two premature boys who have to undergo some
treatment at the hospital with the help of advancements in technology. While one of the boys is
well and healthy, one of them is sick and has developed damage to the brain and lungs. Doctors
are faced with the dilemma of whether to continue with the medication or to let the boy die. This
example of the boy brings into focus the issue of ethical theories. In this article three theories that
are relevant to this moral dilemma are discussed. They include Aristotle Virtue ethics theory,
Utilitarianism theory and Kantian Theory (Mill, 2016). The theories and how they are applicable
to this case are discussed below.
