...Biomedical Example Marco Carter-Johnston HCS/335 Biomedical Example In this paper I will be analyzing the Mickey Mantle case involving him getting a liver transplant. It has been brought to my attention that Mickey has been treated differently than others with the same or similar illness due to him being a celebrity. During my analysis I will be utilizing the Seven-Step Decision model to determine the outcome of this case. I will carefully look at the case to determine if I feel as though his case was in violation of the code of ethics, what are the long and short-term consequences, whether good or bad. Look at some alternatives and values and compare them. I will also determine if the procedure was done for profit or respect for who he is. Lastly I will come up with a decision on whether or not I feel as though if the decision made was ethical or not. Determining the Facts Mickey Mantle was a famous baseball player for the New York Yankees from 1951 into the late1960’s where soon after was voted into the baseball hall of fame. With several years of heavy drinking it began to take a toll on his health that resulted in cirrhosis, hepatitis and cancer of his liver. Over time his liver began to get worst and doctors told him that he has to have a liver transplant soon or he was going to die. The hunt was on for a liver for mantle, but there is a waiting list for those who are in need of a transplant and it can take up to 130 days before his doctors get a response...

...Biomedical Example Erika Steinebach 1/10/2016 Beryl Keegan HCS 335 Biomedical Example In 1995 Mickey Mantle received a liver transplant due to a failing liver caused by hepatitis and cirrhosis. He was a Baseball Hall of Fame center fielder for the New York Yankees. Even though the usual waiting period for a liver transplant in the United States is about 130 days, Mickey Mantle only had to wait two for the hospital to find an organ donor for him. It took only two days for the Baylor Medical Center’s transplant team to find an organ donor for the 63-year-old former baseball hero. According to the Southwest Organ Bank, Mantle was moved ahead of others on the list because of his deteriorating medical condition. But, many people believe that he was moved to the top of the list because he was a celebrity. Others suggested that since Mantle had overcome immense obstacles in the past, they argued that the medical system should provide exceptions for heroes. Another issue with moving him to the top of the transplant list were his medical problems. Mickey Mantle was a recovering alcoholic which complicated the ethical implications of the case. Doctors estimated that he only had about a 60 percent chance for a three year survival, whereas usual liver transplant patients typically have about a 78 percent chance for a three year survival rate. There were many mixed feelings on the decision to move him to the top of the transplant list over others who had been waiting for a long...

...Baseball Players and Using Performance Enhancing Drugs In the recent years the use of steroids in professional sports has become widespread, and major league baseball is more than any other. This paper will discuss using performance enhancing drugs will not get players into the Hall of Fame. Players use performance enhancing drugs to gain a competitive advantage over other teams and players. The definition of cheating is violating rules or restrictions to gain an advantage. It’s plain and simple and is a form of cheating. Major league players who got in the hall of fame in the past used their pure natural talent. The purpose of the Hall of Fame is to recognize outstanding natural talent in the sport of Baseball. Look at our beloved long time baseball legends, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, and many more. How would they feel to see professional baseball players cheat their way in and make it easy on themselves? Baseball meant so much to them and to see future players disrespect our baseball legends and allow them to go to Cooperstown, would be awful to past and present players. Baseball fans know players want to give it all and ultimately make it to the World Series and achieve other outstanding goals, but taking illegal drugs is taking it too far. This leads into the major league baseball punishments for using performance enhancing drugs. The major league baseball has punishments for players who use steroids and performance enhancing drugs. First...

...The players with the most home runs, most Cy-Young awards won, and the most career grand slams are all not in the Baseball Hall of Fame because they used steroids. Steroids are a type of drug that can make a person bigger, stronger, and shorten the time it takes to recover from injuries (“A Brief History of"). Professional athletes find these properties beneficial which has lead to controversy in most major sports with no sport being affected more than baseball. Steroid users in Major League Baseball attracted more fans than ever, so they turned a blind eye to them, but when fans figured out that players were cheating the MLB treated the players that saved the sport as disgraces. The MLB says steroids have hurt the integrity of the sport but...

...20th Century Baseball In 1865 towards the end of the American civil war, U.S. military officer, Abner Doubleday, had decided to draw up a sketch of a diamond shaped field and wrote up some simple rules and a few days later put his ideas to live use. He had just invented the greatest game of all time. Baseball (baseballalmanac.com). Six years later, what was once a game for military men had now started to become the national pastime. On May 4, 1871, the very first professional game was played. At this time, there was only one league, the National Association of Baseball Players. On this day, the Cleveland Forest Citys would take on the Fort Wayne Kekiongas where Fort Wayne would go on to win 2-0 over Cleveland. With only about 500 people in attendance, the game lasted for a little more than two hours as Kekiongas pitcher, Bobby Mathews, would make history as the very first pitcher to have a win on his record throw the first shutout game as Mathews went on later in the year to be tied as one of the league leaders in shutouts. In 1876, the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs was organized, but today we simplified the name just to the National League (Mckissack 12). Throughout the rest of the late 1800’s, baseball massively grew in popularity as all-stars were being born. Baseball has a long and incredible history, especially in the twentieth- century, with events such as the first night game in 1935, the first World Series in 1903, and Babe Ruth’s “Called Shot?” home...

...___________________________ LIVING HISTORY Hillary Rodham Clinton Simon & Schuster New York • London • Toronto • Sydney • Singapore To my parents, my husband, my daughter and all the good souls around the world whose inspiration, prayers, support and love blessed my heart and sustained me in the years of living history. AUTHOR’S NOTE In 1959, I wrote my autobiography for an assignment in sixth grade. In twenty-nine pages, most half-filled with earnest scrawl, I described my parents, brothers, pets, house, hobbies, school, sports and plans for the future. Forty-two years later, I began writing another memoir, this one about the eight years I spent in the White House living history with Bill Clinton. I quickly realized that I couldn’t explain my life as First Lady without going back to the beginning―how I became the woman I was that first day I walked into the White House on January 20, 1993, to take on a new role and experiences that would test and transform me in unexpected ways. By the time I crossed the threshold of the White House, I had been shaped by my family upbringing, education, religious faith and all that I had learned before―as the daughter of a staunch conservative father and a more liberal mother, a student activist, an advocate for children, a lawyer, Bill’s wife and Chelsea’s mom. For each chapter, there were more ideas I wanted to discuss than space allowed; more people to include than could be named; more places visited than could be described...

Conclusion Afterword Author’s Note Acknowledgments Notes Foreword When a governor or any state official seeks elective national office, his (or her) reputation and what the country knows about the candidate’s background is initially determined by the work of local and regional media. Generally, those journalists do a competent job of reporting on the prospect’s record. In the case of Governor George W. Bush, Texas reporters had written numerous stories about his failed businesses in the oil patch, the dubious land grab and questionable funding behind a new stadium for Bush’s baseball team, the Texas Rangers, and his various political contradictions and hypocrisies while serving in Austin. I was one of those Texas journalists. I spent about a decade trying to find accurate information on Bush’s record in the Texas National Guard. My curiosity had been prompted by his failure to adequately answer a question I had asked him as a panelist in a televised debate with Ann Richards during the 1994 gubernatorial campaign. Eventually I published three books on Bush and his political consigliere, Karl Rove. During Bush’s presidency, many other...
