Case Analysis Guidelines 1. Choose one of the following three cases from Bette-Jane Crigger’s Cases in Bioethics (full cases and commentaries posted in Moodle): Case 24 (“A Demand to Die”); Case 35 (“Nazi Data: Dissociation from Evil”); or Case 48 (“Two Cardiac Arrests, One Medical Team”). Choosing a case that interests you is a great idea. Remember, the case analysis is an academic assignment, but there is nothing wrong in finding a case that interests you and that you will enjoy writing about. Try to have some fun with the project! 2. The first step is to summarize the case. What was the specific problem the doctor, patient, healthcare administrator, or medical researcher was facing? What actions did the agent featured in the case take to solve the problem or issue? Try to summarize the case for someone who has never read it before. Be sure to use your own words as you summarize the case! A good method is to read the case several times, and then try to write a “sketch” of the case from memory. At any event, the most important goal is to summarize the case using your own words. Your summary of the case should be approximately one page in length. 3. The second step is to summarize the argument provided in one of the commentaries following the case. What does the commentator argue about the case? What recommendation does the commentator make, and what reasons does the commentator provide to support the recommendation? You might want to “sketch” an outline of the argument before beginning the summary (identify the thesis and the reasons that support it). Your summary of the commentator’s position should be approximately one page in length. 4. Quotations from the case should be kept to a minimum. For a case analysis, you should paraphrase material presented in the text as much as possible. Try to present the issues in your own words and formulations. Use citations to indicate the material you paraphrase and summarize. Please use the APA in-text citation format (including pages numbers). If you cannot avoid providing a direct quotation, please indicate it by using quotation marks and page numbers (APA in-text citation format) so that the reader may reference it later. Also include a works cited page in APA format. 5. The final step is to analyze the actions taken by the agent(s) to solve the ethical dilemma in question. Provide your own evaluation of the actions taken by the agents in the case. Did the actions adequately solve the issue from both a medical and an ethical perspective? Is there anything you would have done differently to solve the ethical dilemma? Try to incorporate considerations based upon the ethical theories and concepts examined in class. Your analysis of actions taken, as well as your own recommendations, should be approximately one page in length. The overall length of the project should be three pages in length. You are free to write beyond this length if you desire to do so, but please limit your paper to no more than four pages. 6. The assignment is due Thursday, February 22nd, at 11:59PM. Good luck, and please contact me if you have any questions!

Running head: TWO CARDIAC ARRESTS, ONE MEDICAL TEAM

Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening medical emergency. Patients suffering from this
condition should be given close and immediate attention by an emergency service or
specialists at a hospital. Donald Mattison and George Burnham, cardiac arrest victims, are
admitted to the same hospital. The hospital has trained medical teams who handle cardiac
patients.
Every 24-hours a day, there is a medical team on duty to handle the cardiac arrest
patients with the specialized equipment being able to work on one patient at a time. The
hospital, from its analysis, deemed the possibility of there being simultaneous cardiac arrest
and if it similar attacks were to happen, the probability to transfer another crash cart from
another patient area would be low because of the slow elevator that served the rehabilitation
ward.
George is a thirty-three-years-old and a developmentally disabled man. Having stayed
at the rehabilitation institution since the age of three, George learned some basic life
principles like how to eat and clean up. At 25 years, George had some paralysis after
suffering a cardiac arrest. He later became semi-paralyzed and incontinent after a second
cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, the specialists had expressed little, or no hopes for George’s
recovery.
Donald Mattison, a slightly paralyzed acquired this state after suffering a minor
stroke. Donald was married, with four children, a businessman and actively engaged in
matters concerning the church and his ...
