An ethical dilemma occurs when an event prompts us to question how we should

respond depending on our values. A choice must be made between right and wrong, and a
sound judgment must be made based on our morals and principles. Furthermore, it is
normally hard to contemplate what decision to make in a life and death situation. However,
weighing matters is equally crucial before acting, as it guarantees that while attempting to
save a life, the lives of others are not jeopardized.

There are various medical situations that challenges a person, in the case of Sara the
mother of both children Kate who was diagnosed with leukemia and Anna her youngest child
who at an early age become her sister’s donor. The case of the family holds a heavy ethical
dilemma, where in attempting to save a life, another life is also put to the near end line. Now
and again, while battling in knowing exactly what to do in sparing a life, I believe the action
that the parents have taken is not morally right. Regardless of whether a child is not on the
right age to decide for herself, it is corrupt to use her body without her consent. Although no
individual ought to be denied of the opportunity to live the action in which a child decided to
exercise her right should not be invalidated. Furthermore, according to (Geoffrey Miller,
2011) When it comes to raising and caring for their children, parents have a lot of ethical
leeway as long as they behave in the best interests of the child and don't hurt them. Parents
have the legal and ethical ability to grant or refuse consent. However, this authority is limited
in comparison to the authority of competent people to make their own judgments.
Parents have a responsibility to care for their children, and if they fail to do so, the
state may step in. When Sara refused to accept her child’s decision in donating her organ that
was also the moment where her authority to decide a parent end as Anna would want to
exercise her right, when ethical dilemmas are encountered in the family most people will take
an immediate action that are favorable to them, without even thinking that another right is
being compromised. In this kind of phenomena before coming up to a solution or taking
action, I believe weighing things should take in, and a donor has decided his/her to donate
altruism takes in. Altruism is an act in which a person is willing to sacrifice herself for the
welfare of others, however, according to (Greg Moorlock, 2014) they suggest that for a
donation to be altruistic it must be donated without coercion or constraints on who receives
the organ. Thus, this means that donating an organ can only be considered as an altruistic as
if and only the action done without persuading the person to donate. By which, wen donating
regardless of what age a person can be, consent shall be taken first. We could also say that the
Parents action are caused my altruistic emotion especially that their child life is at risk,
moreover, for the last 11 years their youngest child has been donating to her sister without
her consent, only relying to the fact that as a parent I could decide in her place. If we evaluate
these actions, Sara and her husband have abused the rights of their youngest child, the
medical emancipation requested by Anna was I think the accurate solution to their action.
Whenever we say emancipation is where the individual is no longer restricted to the wishes
of their parents and may make their own decisions regarding a variety of topics. In addition,
given the situation of the family and the measures they have taken to save a life can be stated
as reasonable, the action taken to meet these measures will not justify that the rights of
another child were abused. I too, would stand to the emancipation that Anna requested, I
believe that there are no age limit nor disability that would hinder us to practice our rights as
those are our privileges.

In general, families and emotion could sometimes cloud our principles in life,
sometimes it could make us turn to the morals we believe in. However, in a situation that a
life is on the line by any means we are going to do and take measures to spare it. Thus, it does
not give us the authority to jeopardized the rights and the life of other people. The ethical
dilemmas that we encountered in our lives will challenge our morals and even our principles,
nonetheless the child’s refusal to organ donation is medically reasonable and it was ethically
permissible. Lastly, it is worth noting that despite what people may think, a person’s right to
refuse is very important and thus it shall not be invalidated.
