You are about to eat a sandwich for lunch and someone runs up to you and shouts for you to stop. He states that if you take another bite, the building across the street may fall, possible killing many. What are you to do?<br /><br />Well, I might suggest that you ask for evidence to support the person's claim. If there is inadequate evidence to show that eating your sandwich will cause the building to fall, you would probably eat it despite the fact that you have no proof that the next bite won't cause the building to come down.<br /><br />This is just what I am attempting to do here.Serge (Rich Poupard)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06648112986475922045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-79213480336730282792014-01-23T11:26:11.685-08:002014-01-23T11:26:11.685-08:00Suppose I'm a foreman in charge of a construct...Suppose I'm a foreman in charge of a construction crew and we're about to demolish an old building via explosives. Right before I'm about to do it, a subordinate tells me he thinks he might have just seen a child playing inside the building, but he can't really be sure. <br /><br />Do you say, "Oh well, there's no proof, let's just go ahead and implode the building"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-23292199650689495392014-01-23T06:15:39.276-08:002014-01-23T06:15:39.276-08:00Rosana,

In that case I disagree. For example, I have a Coke Zero in front of me right now. There is no conclusive evidence that drinking Coke Zero has no effect on implantation. Should we advise women not to drink it until we prove that it is safe for the embryo?<br /><br />Lastly, outside of the rare instances of rape, I really cannot think of a instance in which a Christian couple would "need" emergency contraception that would not involve other ethical problems.

I would say in the minimum we should inform our patients of the possible ethical implications of any meds that we prescribe, just as we would inform them of possible risks.

Even if there is no conclusive evidence supporting the possibility of Plan B preventing implantation, is there conclusive evidence that Plan B does not prevent implantation? Until "future evidence" clears this question up completely, it seems to me that we should be consistent with what we believe.

We just finished discussing contraceptives in our pharmacology course. Many of the mechanisms of action of even the OCPs include prevention of implantation, but it seems that there's not enough evidence to state that conclusively. I would appreciate your perspective as I feel that many of my professors gloss over ethical issues because they are uncomfortable dealing with them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551611790427012612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-24131808932109298232014-01-22T10:27:28.575-08:002014-01-22T10:27:28.575-08:00FANTASTIC post, Rich.
