title: ethics.
time: 9:55 PM

I enjoyed watching Extreme Measures. Sir Cortez mentioned it in our Business Ethics class. I was intrigued and curious so I looked at Papa's DVD collection and found it, thankfully.

Hugh Grant and Gene Hackman play doctors. The ethical issue arises when Dr. Myrick (Hackman) performs spinal experiments on homeless people in order to find a cure for paralysis. Do you consider it morally right to do a medical research and use people as "lab rats" when, as a doctor, you think that there's a great potential that you could find the antidote to an illness that will benefit the whole society and make uncomfortable lives better? What difference does it make if you take away a person who has no family, no money, no food, no shelter and has absolutely no valuable contribution to the world?

The movie makes you come up with tons of questions. Sometimes it's hard to think of the right answer because you don't know where to base the moral integrity of it. Euthanasia, or mercy killing, is allowed in Switzerland, but is illegal in other parts of the world. Who dictates the rightness or wrongness of the practice? Is it the Bible? Lawmakers? Majority of the people? Medicine is susceptible to these kinds of ethical issues. It's a tough field with numerous tough dilemmas. I can't imagine how crucial it is for doctors to make decisions because with one mistake, their whole career and a person's precious life will be put at stake. There's always an issue between making a medical and a moral choice.

I think I'm going to love my Business Ethics class. The discussions are very interesting and I can't wait for Sir Cortez to mention another movie. I love watching films and I'm a fan . Go see Extreme Measures and take a stand. :)

"Those men upstairs, maybe there isn't much point to their lives. Maybe they are doing a great thing for the world. Maybe they are heroes. But they didn't choose to be. You chose for them... And you can't do that, because you're a doctor, and you took an oath. An you're not God. So I don't care if you can do what you say you can. I don't care if you find a cure for every disease on the planet! You tortured and murdered those men upstairs, and that makes you a disgrace to your profession!"
-Dr. Guy Luthan (Hugh Grant)
