Determine whether the following situations involved a duty of care. a) A dentist unknowingly transmits the AIDS virus from one patient to the next, via his drill. Any possibility of spreading the virus could have been prevented if the drill has been specially treated between clients, but this was not common practice at the time. b) An 11-year-old girl, riding a headstrong horse in parklands, collides with a group of pedestrians walking along a path. An adult rider would have been able to control the horse properly.

Researchers at a regional hospital wanted to explore the topic of whether decaffeinated coffee is bad for the heart. They found a group of 187 people who either drank no coffee, drank between 3-6 cups of caffeinated coffee per day, or drank between 3-6 cups of decaffeinated coffee per day. The researchers analyzed blood sample from the groups before and after the study to determine the levels of cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) in the blood which are key indicators of heart disease risk. They found that those who drank 3-6 cups of decaffeinated cups of coffee per day experienced an 18% rise in NEFAs. This was not seen in the other two groups. Can it be concluded that drinking coffee is bad for our hearts?

Case Study-Appraisal It had been one hour since Phil Lee, a long-time professor at Conseco College (Conseco), had left Karen Hessle's office to cycle home and questions still swirled in Hessle's head. The department chair of computer studies wondered what to do about Lee's unusual and erratic behavior. CONVERSATION WITH JULIE LEE Hessle decided to call Lee's wife, Julie, to ask whether she had observed Lee's unusual behavior. Hessle and Julie had no previous relationship and had never met. Julie informed her that Lee suffered from bipolar disorder, a mental illness. Currently, Lee was in a state of mania, and this was the cause of his uncharacteristic behavior. Hessle explained that Lee had stopped taking his medication. Julie Lee was appreciative of the call and explained that, over the past month, her husband had gone through quite a serious manic episode. Julie also explained that Lee had been claiming that everything at work was fine. Julie thanked Hessle and left the conversation,…

A new cream was developed to reduce the irritation caused by poison ivy. To test the effectiveness, researchers put an ad online asking for volunteers to participate in the study. One hundred subjects replied and were informed that one group would receive the new cream and the other would receive a cream with no active ingredient. All 100 subjects were exposed to poison ivy. Fifty were then assigned to the group with the new cream, and 50 were assigned to the group with the cream with no active ingredient. After three days, technicians recorded the subjects' level of irritation. Which of the following would benefit this experiment the most? O This experiment should be single blind. The subjects will not know which treatment they are receiving to control for the placebo effect, but the technicians need to know which group received the new cream. This experiment should be double blind. Neither the subject nor the technician knows which group is receiving the new cream to control for the…
SECTION B : CASE STUDY Whistle-Blowing and the Environment Katherine works as a clerk for Bio Chemist Services, a small toxic-waste disposal company. The company has a contract to dispose of medical waste from a local hospital. During the course of her work, Katherine comes across documents that suggest Bio Chemist has actually been disposing of some of this medical waste in a local municipal landfill. Katherine is shocked. She knows this practice is illegal. And even though only a small portion of the medical waste that Bio Chemist handles is disposed of this way, any amount at all seems a worrisome threat to public health. Katherine gathers the appropriate documents and takes them to her immediate superior, David. David says, “Look, I don't think that sort of thing is your concern, or mine. We're in charge of record keeping, not making decisions about where this stuff gets dumped. I suggest you drop it.” The next day, Katherine decides to go one step further and talk to Sophia…
