Read “Medical Professionalism: What the Study of Literature Can Contribute to the Conversation” from Philosophy, Ethics & Humanities in Medicine located in the Week 1 University Library readings.

Although this article primarily explores the use of literature in medical professional education, the same principles apply to students learning about professional, ethical leadership in health care. As you read the article, contemplate how literature can help you develop your own brand of ethical leadership within the health care regulatory environment.

MHA 508 Wk 5 Discussion – Contemporary Ethics

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to classmates or your faculty member.

Christoph Lengauer makes an analogy stating that cells should be treated with the same value as oil. He states, “Why not treat valuable cells like oil? When you find oil on somebody’s property, it doesn’t automatically belong to them, but they do get a portion of the profits.” (p. 267). This excerpt from the novel raises some ethical issues to be examined in this discussion.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

  • Do you agree with Lengauer’s analogy? Why or why not?
  • Think about some of the interactions that occurred throughout the book. What examples can you find that would now be prohibited by the laws, statutes, and acts covered this week?
  • What contemporary ethics and laws in health care practice do Lengauer’s views go against?
