medical morals: Example 5
http://medicalmorals.blogspot.com/2007/11/example-1.html
Saturday, 24 November 2007. If someone was to put a gun to someones head and demand sex, would that be rape? I think it would be even if the victim was to say yes, as saying no could result in their harm. If the gun was hidden away, but the patient knew it was there, would that still be rape?

Saturday, 24 November 2007. Below are just 5 examples of moral/ethical questions that need to be asked about medical privacy. I decided to do this as a separate thing so that people who have an interest in such things, can see some basic questions that I have. There are loads of examples, including the example of identifiable data being released from GUM clinics in England without patient consent that I could have put in, but I thought it best to start with the basics. Illegal abortions still take place ...

Saturday, 24 November 2007. A girl becomes sexually active but does not want anyone other that her GP knowing. In most practices, that would not be allowed. The girl then become pregnant but wants a termination. She is now faced with 3 choices. 1) Tell the GP and allow her (or him if they chose not to see a female doctor) to share the data. 2) Try and force a miscarriage and not report it.

Saturday, 24 November 2007. If I was to lead someone to believe that I was a doctor so that I could carry out an intimate examination on them, would it be an assault/ sexual assualt even if they agree to me touching them? Again I would say yes.A lie to touch is still alie no matter what your profession. This sort of assualt goes on almost everyday in the health profession, yet it goes un-punished.

Saturday, 24 November 2007. Their attacker walks free for not being told the truth, the patient simply has this back dated to allow data to be shared and accessed.I for one find that imoral, yet it gets done almost every day in the health profession.

Saturday, 24 November 2007. Parents decide to take out insurance, including insurance for their children. As part of the application the applicants must disclose medical data. One of the children says no and as a result the application is refused. The parents then use presure on the child and the child decides to say yes. Is that consenual? I don’t think it is. Whilst it is unlikely that a 4 year old will be able to make a informed choice, what about a 14 year old? Don’t chiildren have rights?
