Justice as Fairness and Palliative Care
Sameed is an 80 year old man who has lived in Canada for most of his adult life. He is married to Rima who, though five years younger, can no longer care for her husband in their home on her own. Sameed and Rima have eight grandchildren ranging in age from 11 to 20, and their children have busy lives with demanding jobs and family responsibilities. Often on weekends, one or more family members will help out at home, but during the week when the children are at school or the parents are working, Rima has little caregiving help. Within the last six months, Sameeds health has taken a turn for the worse, and he has congestive heart failure and failing kidneys. Recently, Rima spoke with a home care service provider who informed her that Sameed is probably eligible for palliative care at home, but setting up the service will be very difficult because of a lack of health care resources, both financial and human. Rima finds it stressful to even think about moving Sameed into residential care, but two days ago, Sameed had to be transported to the emergency department for arrhythmia where he spent several hours on a gurney waiting to be seen by a doctor.

Capacity and Consent
Sixteen year-old Elliot died of a drug overdose in Vancouver. Toxicology tests showed that Elliots blood contained fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and crystal methamphetamine. Elliots substance abuse began shortly after he was treated with opioids for pain related to sports injuries and surgeries. When he was hospitalized with a blood infection, he left the hospital on a day pass only to return later after acquiring drugs. Hospital staff found Elliot unresponsive and a doctor treated him with naloxone. Elliots parents overheard the conversation between the doctor and Elliot, and for the first time, were aware that Elliot has a serious problem with opioids. Within a short period of time after leaving the hospital, Elliot was found unresponsive at home and died. About a month later, his parents wrote a letter to provincial officials claiming that provincial law and hospital policy prevented them from helping their child make decisions about his health care.

Moral Value, Personhood, and Moral Agency
Margaret, 85 years old, has been living at home with occasional help from a home care service. She has diabetes with complications and her mental faculties have been declining for several years. A diagnosis of mild to moderate dementia was made two years ago. Recently, Margaret was hospitalized for a severe burn on her hand. In questioning Margaret, the triage nurse became concerned because Margarets ability to explain what happened was unclear. It appears that Margaret had forgotten to eat and her blood glucose level was very low. She was trying to prepare a meal but did not remember turning on the stove. She burned her hand on the hot stove. Not long after, her daughter found Margaret unresponsive in her armchair and called an ambulance; this was not the first time Margarets daughter had to accompany her mother to the emergency department. Since being admitted to the hospital to the complex continuing care floor for a diabetes re-assessment, her burn has begun healing and her overall physical condition has improved. Margaret no longer needs a high level of care; yet, it would not be wise to discharge her. Margaret would happily return home alone, but her ability to make decisions has raised red flags for Margarets daughter, the home care workers, and the hospital nursing staff. Margarets daughter has four children between the ages of 18 months and 7 years of age, and is actively trying to find residential care for her mother.

Predictive Genetic Testing
Gail, a 30-year-old marketing executive, received the gift of a direct-to-consumer genetic testing kit from a client. She is toying with the idea of providing a DNA sample and mailing the package; however, she has some concerns about what she might find out about her future health risks. She was adopted and knows very little about her biological parents, so the information would be novel and interesting. At the same time though, Gail has struggled with meeting her weight and physical activity goals and wonders how she might react to the information.
Describe briefly the type pf results that Gail might receive. Explorethe 23andMe web site to help you answer this question.
