Someone, please help me with this project Take a look at the American Medical Association Code of Ethics and be prepared to respond to the following situations as a Christian healthcare provider.

A mom brings her child into the clinic where you work, and after a brief exam, you find that the child has most certainly been physically abused.

You are a physician at a family practice. One of your long-time patients comes in, and after an examination, you learn she is pregnant. She is single and already has three children. The woman requests an abortion. You practice medicine in a state that allows the procedure.

An elderly patient who has a history of long-term illnesses requests that you assist him in ending his life. Your state allows you to honor his request.

Look at each scenario above. As a healthcare professional, you will most certainly be confronted with these situations. On one hand, you are bound by the Medical Code of Ethics. On the other hand, you are bound by what you have studied in Scripture. Number eight of the code of ethics says, "A physician shall while caring for a patient, regard responsibility to the patient as paramount." If a single mom with three young children does not want to be responsible for another child, and she appears not to be capable of caring for the fourth child, is it your duty to recommend or perform an abortion? This particular situation might seem to warrant it. Yet, is abortion really in the best interests of the patient? Could not "patient" also includes the unborn child?

Now, get on the Web and research how Christian healthcare providers recommend responding to these types of scenarios. Are there ways to adhere to the Medical Code of Ethics without compromising Biblical values? If so, how?
