Abstract
This paper discusses the ethics involved in the use of steroids in order to enhance athletic performance, looking at the use of both legal and illegal steroids within sports. The paper also discusses the history of steroid use and its legality within the United States. Finally, the paper looks briefly at the side effects that come with the use of anabolic steroids. The paper contains a table that summarizes the drug schedules and the penalties for violation of the Federal Law, Controlled Substance Act of 1970.
From the Paper
"The use of performance enhancement drugs by many people in our society will not slow down anytime soon. Many negative effects are contributed to the abuse of these drugs but this has not stopped people, especially athletes, from using them. People want to get results faster than they normally would when it come to body image and performance. Our society has become one, of great expectations and demands but not one with a lot of patience. In my opinion in order to get the public to understand the harm about steroids we need to educate ourselves and our children. We have the moral obligation to teach the world and future generations about the ethical dilemmas that this drug and many others bring to the world. We also have the legal authority to helps us spread the message about the harms of steroids through punishment and deterrence but the justice system is concerned with other major crimes. Ethics teach us about what is right or wrong, the only problem is that over time the perception of what is right or wrong has changed tremendously. There are many people who think using drugs is acceptable, while the majority still think it is not. Education is the solution to the ethical dilemma of using steroids in sports."

The ethical dilemma that recently arose dealt with insurance paybacks for certain funeral related services that were not fully performed by certain staff members. While not necessarily intentional, this oversight resulted in the billing for services performed that were not, in fact performed and the ethical issues arising from the fact that employees, myself as well as management, were aware of this oversight and yet, the process was overlooked. The Ethical Issue. The specific issue involved billing for funeral clothing on a deceased individual who was scheduled for cremation following the viewing."

Ethical Dilemmas in Business, 2005.
A discussion on the ethical dilemmas facing FET due to distribution of a faulty product.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 0 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the potential ethical dilemma of a company that is distributing a product that it has subsequently discovered to be flawed. The paper specifically discusses FET, which has been distributing its micro system product. The paper concludes that to continue distribution would be detrimental to the company, its shareholders, and the customer upon whom the company relies.
From the Paper
"Ethical Dilemma 1. Is there an ethical problem? If so, what is it? On the surface there is not yet an ethical dilemma. While the executive compensation is tied to the success of FET's micro system in the open marketplace, the simple fact of the matter is that the system is flawed. If an organization is ethically sound as well as operationally sound it would never consider distributing a product with known and pre-existing flaws. Such an act, while perhaps bolstering its short-term finances and padding the salary of the executives whose salaries are dependent upon the product's success, would have a long-term devastating effect on the reputation and brand of the company. Additionally, once the flaw became widely recognized the company would be faced with warranty obligations which would quickly mitigate any financial gains to the company."

Ethical Dilemma in a Woman's Prison, 2005.
A look at ethical dilemmas within the women's prison system.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how the women's prison system is fraught with ethical dilemmas and how the women within the system, no matter what the crime, are relatively helpless despite whatever physical strength or position of strength outside the system that they possess. It looks at how women in prisons might be subject to sexual harassment or rape by prison guards, be denied gynecological care by officials, or be threatened into submission to perform various acts by people in authority who possess superior physical strength. It presents a perspective on one of these issues, denial of gynecological care, in the form of three fictional interviews from people in the field of criminal justice: Joachim P., a correctional officer (male); Felicity M., a medical technical assistant; and Katerina G., a correctional treatment specialist.

The Ethical Dilemma of Siamese Twins, 2007.
This paper dismisses social values and concentrates on the scientific facts pertaining to the ethical dilemma of separating Siamese twins in the case of Mary and Jodie vs. the laws of Britain.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, in the case of Jodie and Mary, because the parents did not feel it was right for them to be God and choose who should live and who should ultimately die from the surgery thereby denying the procedure to separate the twins, it was up to the court to decide whether or not the Siamese twins should be separated to allow one to live and the weaker one to die. The author points out that, under British law, the three judges involved all agreed that the separation should be performed but differed on their reasons why. The paper concludes that, even as parents object for religious and personal grounds, the physician, not the patient or patient's family, should be the final decision-maker because parents are emotional and doctors must be unbiased and professional without emotional interest.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
What are Siamese Twins?
The Case of Jodie and Mary

From the Paper
"It turns out that after six weeks the twins were separated when the team of physicians was assured they would not be prosecuted for murder when Mary died. She did die, but "Jodie is doing well and may soon go home [...]. She will undergo more surgery over the next five years and most of it will be performed in Britain." Among outside opinions, a strong one in favor of the surgery said that "Jodie had more to lose in terms of the net gain of life." She is now alive, despite the loss of Mary. She can be a joy to her parents no matter how much they will remember the preceding that caused ..."

?Ethical Dilemmas in Church Leadership?, 2002.
A review of the book ?Ethical Dilemmas in Church Leadership? by Michael R. Milco.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This book discusses the challenges that await pastors and church leaders in the 21st century and looks at Milco?s call to arms for all church leadership in the new millennium. It examines how he feels that it is necessary for church leaders to understand all of the factors that are involved in making ethical decisions and that in order to do this one must understand the new times that we are now living in.
From the Paper
"Although the book is less than two hundred pages in length, Milco does a good job in illustrating the difficulties of life in modern society. There are eleven chapters in all, all of them with a specific focus that builds a strong message that should be listened to by today?s church leaders. People today are losing faith in the church and in church leadership, this is a problem that does not impact one religion over another, but seems to be a problem that is non-denominational in nature. It is the job of leadership to reconnect with the parishioners and to make them feel that the church is a place where they can go for guidance and counsel without fear of reprisal. According to Milco, only three out of ten adults admit that they would seek help from a minister during times of difficulty in their lives. He attributes this to a ?growing awareness of pastoral indiscretion, possible abuse cases (within the church) and many other situation that are causing parishioners to doubt the wisdom of ministers.?

An Ethical Dental Dilemma, 2008.
Describes an ethical dilemma facing a student employed in a dental practice.
1,461 words (approx. 5.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses a dilemma facing a student witnessing unethical practice whilst in employment in a dental office. The paper questions situations in what should be done where an action appears to be correct but in reality is totally incorrect. The paper stresses that the patient's safety is of foremost importance and cannot be endangered in any manner during treatment. The paper also questions whether the negative activity should have been reported as an incorrect procedure, which the student found difficult, as the student was not a permanent staff member.
Outline:
Introduction
Concrete experience
Reflective observations
Abstract concepts
Active experimentation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"This experience was certainly a shock merely because the act was done in a setting associated with cleanliness and a professional environment that was autonomous and upheld the highest standards of health care. Moreover, it sent a message that real life in general was wrought with gray areas and more importantly, less than ideal practices. What is meant here is that, as a profession that is self-governed, its constituent members should perform their duties to the best of their abilities without compromise up to the standards set by governing professional organizations. As clear cut as this may seem to do, reality is often wrought with conflicting interests such as this one."

Army Recruiting: An Ethical Dilemma, 2006.
A discussion regarding the ethics surrounding recruitment to the U.S. army.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the situation of ethical dilemmas in the U.S. army, and how it affects army recruiting. It explores how ethics typically involves the choice between an ethical and a non-ethical situation, and how the army has elected to not promote such ideals in army recruiting, as this may discourage the number of recruits. The paper illustrates this through current pertinent examples.
From the Paper
"With all of the current news focus on the war in Iraq, the converge between ethics and war actions has been made evident to the American public, especially with recent information regarding U.S. soldiers actions towards detainees at Guantanamo Bay. This raises questions regarding how much the army should consider situations containing ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve considering a conflict between moral imperatives. Typically, this necessitates a choice between a moral or ethical response and a non-ethical alternative. In many cases, ethical dilemmas are highly difficult as the non-ethical conclusion is often paired with other incentives. If a nation's army does not consider such ethics, major atrocities, genocides, torture, among other results, may occur. "

Abstract
Through the examination of a case study of a pregnant teenager, this paper discusses the legal and ethical dilemmas that may arise in the provision of maternity services. It explores the issue of consent and the midwife's sphere of practice.
From the Paper
Rule 6 of the Midwives rules and standards says ' A midwife: Should respect the woman's right to refuse any advice given' (NMC 2004, p17). Sue chose not to go ahead with having blood tests at the time of the booking appointment. She made this decision based on all theinformation the midwife gave her. This information was explained fully, in language that she could understand and was reinforced with the written leaflets we provided. These explained the proposed tests and the implications of not having these for both herself and the fetus. Her parents felt that she should have had all the screening offered at this time and that this was in both her best interests and those of the fetus. However she recognised that she had choice. She could choose to consent or to refuse and she exercised that choice. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the controversial issue of cloning. It analyzes the moral and ethical implications of cloning and whether it is correct to conduct cloning at all. The paper describes the origins of cloning, the methods currently used and the problems with the process.
From the Paper
" Cloning can basically be described as the copying of genes and other pieces of chromosomes to generate identical material. Two other types of cloning produce complete, genetically identical animals. Blastomere separation (sometimes called "twinning" after the naturally occurring process that creates identical twins) involves splitting a developing embryo soon after fertilization of the egg by a sperm (sexual reproduction) to give rise to two or more embryos (Wilmut, 998). The resulting organisms are identical twins (clones) containing DNA from both the mother and the father. The second type of cloning that is more controversial in terms of its moral and ethical implications is when the identical material that has been generated consists of the DNA of only one parent. With the innovation of the second type of cloning that came primarily with the birth of Dolly, a number of moral, social, ethical and legal issues were raised with regard to it. Religious and social organizations were outraged at the prospect of creating animals (not to forget humans) that did not involve the natural process of conception. The right to create a life, they claimed was after all ultimately in the hands of the Creator and to play around with that was tantamount to interrupting the path of Nature (Wilmut, 1998). However before one moves on to discuss the moral and ethical dilemmas of cloning, it is important to briefly study the history of this controversial process."

The Ethical Dilemma of Arthur Andersen, 2002.
This paper discusses one of the key ethical issues that the accounting firm, Arthur Andersen, faced in the Enron case: A company cannot exist without clients.
1,150 words (approx. 4.6 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses that the Enron case was a no-win situation for Arthur Andersen. The paper points out that Arthur Andersen tried to distance themselves from the case in hope that Enron did not get caught, but Enron did get caught. The author feels that Arthur Andersen, despite client loyalty, would have managed the case better if they had severed relationships with Enron much sooner.
From the Paper
"Arthur Andersen was in a tough client relations position. However, there are several points along the way where they could have perhaps at least saved their reputation. One point is when they continued to shred documents after they had been ordered by the courts to stop this activity. Had they at least obeyed that court order, then they may have been able to claim that they were not so deeply embroiled in the controversy and could have perhaps distanced themselves from it. This was the final straw as for as the public and the courts were concerned. Their actions in destroying the court order stood as clear evidence that they were both aware of and in support of the activities at Enron. This act enraged the public the most."

1,102 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer proposes that outsourcing is morally and ethically an objectionable practice, that results in little benefit to the company and much harm to the employees it affects. A formal review of the literature available with regard to outsourcing is analyzed, and the case against outsourcing is made. The paper shows how outsourcing impacts workers in a negative manner, goes against the moral and ethical standards inherent in business and proves that outsourcing will ultimately result in dissatisfaction for corporations in the long term.
Abstract
Introduction
Effects of Outsourcing
Right/Duties/Moral Obligations of Corporations
Conclusions
From the Paper
"From a moral and ethical standpoint, outsourcing is wrong and has negative consequences on both employees and the productivity and efficiency of corporations in the long term. From a practical standpoint, corporations that rush to outsource job functions realize few returns on their investment and few profit savings in the long term. The rush to outsource has left companies with little value and no tangible increases in productivity or delivery."

Sports Science and Sports Medicine, 2004.
An overview of sports/exercise science and medicine, two fields that have only recently begun consolidating into distinct professions.

Abstract
Sports has become a multi-billion-dollar business, and the ever-increasing competitiveness and challenges, both mental and physical, faced by the modern sportsperson has increased the need for a medical and scientific support system for athletes. This paper discusses two fields that have developed from this need: sports science and sports medicine. The paper shows that they are interrelated, the former being more of an investigative and experimental area, while the latter deals with the implementation of the knowledge and techniques developed by sports science.
From the Paper
"High quality sports performance depends largely on an individual?s movement pattern and is usually referred to as technique. Good technique not only produces an effective performance but also reduces the risk of injury. The effect of physical forces on the movement and on the size, shape and structure of the body is scientifically studied by biomechanists today in an attempt to help optimize athletic technique. (Stein, 2003) Through qualitative analysis via direct observation on film or video tape, a biomechanist will study an athlete?s performance with a view to diagnosing any problems which might be limiting sporting potential. In close consultation with the athlete?s coach, training patterns may be altered to incorporate elements which may help to rectify the problem."
