    Case Study Fetal

    The Tuskegee study was an unethical medical experiment conducted from 1932 to 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in African American men in Alabama. The study violated principles of autonomy, beneficence, and justice by not informing or treating the subjects and allowing the disease to progress without consent. Nurse Eunice Rivers, who was involved throughout the study, is equally to blame for the misconduct and failure to adhere to ethical practices, as all those involved in unethical experiments should face consequences.

    Case study: Tuskegee Study

    1. Consider each of the individual basic principles: autonomy, veracity,


    beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, role fidelity, and confidentiality. Which of
    these principles were sacrificed in the Tuskegee Study? Explain Answer.

    The Tuskegee study was totally unethical in the practice. It was done to see
    the progression of disease rather than treating the disease. These following principles
    were sacrificed in Tuskegee study. Autonomy because Africans not Americans were
    not given the ability to make a decision, because there is no justice given to them.
    They were denied the treatment for syphilis due to the eagerness to see the
    progression of disease, their study. Beneficence because the patients suffering from
    syphilis. Their condition would get worse and harmed for not providing them a
    veracious treatment.

    2. To what should blame for the lack of the ethical conduct be placed on the
    shoulders of Nurse Eunice Rivers? Although never incharge, it should be noted
    that during the study, physicians, came and went, but Nurse Rivers was the
    consistent figure throughout the study. The USPHS awarded her several
    commendations for her work. Is she more or less, or equality to blame with the
    others involved? Explain?

    The nurse Eunice Rivers has to be equally blamed for their misconduct and
    Malpractice due to unethical actions and failure to adhere clinical practice. Everyone
    that involves in the experiment of misconduct and unethical practice should face their
    consequences. Possible to lose their licence and imprisoned to what they did.

    Case study: Is fetal endangerment a mothers life?

    1. In this case, who has rights? Whose rights should prevail? Jane’s? The fetus’s
    the hospital staff’s?
    In the case of Jane and the fetus, the neglection of the mother to her health causes
    serious injury for the both of them. The Law enforcement personnel prohibited abuse
    or neglected of children to charge women for actions that potentially harm the fetus.
    The risks, benefits, and potential consequences of maternal choice and behavior in
    pregnancy should be analyzed with respect to the rights of the mother, the interests of
    the fetus, and the goals of society. In this case, the fetus’ right has more weight than
    its mother’s autonomy. She has to submit to the hospital staff for medical treatment
    for the well-being of the fetus and Herself.

    2. Should be the physician attempt to get a court order to keep Jane


    hospitalized?
    In this situation, yes, the gynecologist’s has ethical obligation to prioritize
    safety but the pregnant woman’s autonomy may conflict with the ethical desire to
    optimize the health of the fetus. There is a patient’s rights to respect the patient’s
    refusal of treatment, respect for autonomy, violations of bodily integrity. The
    physician should attempt to get a court order to keep Jane hospitalized. This is for the
    fetal right when the mother refused recommended medical treatment that endangers
    the baby. It is for the sake of the fetus health.
