What should you do and why? What would you think about a person who does not save the child?

Suppose you are walking by a pond and see that a small child has gone into the pond and is in difficulties; she is too young to swim and will drown if not pulled out soon. Nobody else is around, or at least not near enough to pull the child out in time. The pond is shallow, so there is no danger in your going in, even if you can’t yourself swim. However, you are on your way to you second interview for the job that you have wanted all your life. You are wearing your new expensive clothes and shoes, and these will be ruined; additionally, if you stop to do anything, you will miss your appointment.

Elaborate in detail the ethical positions arrived at by using the Kantian categorical imperative relative to the long standing debate surrounding the death penalty or abortion.

Kant’s famous First Formulation of the Categorical Imperative reads, “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” Kant taught morality as a matter of following maxims of living that reflect absolute laws. “Universal” is a term that allows for no exceptions, and what is universal applies always and everywhere. Don’t forget about the second formulation of the categorical imperative which states, “Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means.” It is just as important.

Case Study: Withholding Information at the Request of the Family
Karen Gill is an acute care nurse practitioner. Karen is employed by the only group of pulmonologists in a medium-sized city in Texas. Karen sees patients in the office and rounds at a level 2 hospital where she was the first APRN granted privileges.
Mrs. Liu is a 72-year-old woman who moved to the United States from China 16 months ago after the death of her husband to live with her son and her daughter-in-law. Prior to immigrating, Mrs. Liu had complained of respiratory symptoms and consulted the village doctor, who diagnosed a minor ailment. Recently, her episodes of coughing, chest tightness, and wheezing worsened. After Mrs. Liu developed fever and weight loss, a chest X-ray ordered by her son’s family practice physician revealed a pulmonary mass. Mrs. Liu was referred to Karen’s practice, where she underwent a biopsy. The pathology report revealed pulmonary tuberculosis.
Karen called the son’s house and left a message for Mrs. Liu to schedule an appointment so that Karen could explain the results of the biopsy and the treatment plan. She received a phone call from Mrs. Liu’s son, who asked that the diagnosis be withheld from his mother. He explained that in the rural area of China where his mom is from tuberculosis is considered fatal and to tell her would be like giving her “a death sentence.” He also said tuberculosis is considered “not a nice thing” to have. Karen reviewed the literature on perceptions of tuberculosis in rural China and found considerable social stigma attached to the disease with loss of social connections common after the diagnosis.
