Case: End of Life Decisions

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into   contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge   and understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose   of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.

Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the   Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the   required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis   of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the   Christian worldview.

Provide a 1,800-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the   following questions:

1. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the     Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the   world?
2. How would George interpret his suffering in light of     the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of   resurrection?
3. As George contemplates life with amyotrophic     lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform     his view about the value of his life as a person?
4. What     sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview     focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for   euthanasia?
5. Given the above, what options would be morally     justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?
6. Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you     were in George’s situation?

Remember to support your responses with a minimum of 4 citations and references from the topic study materials.
