Objective 目标

道德困境可以表征为一组内其中一个典型的导向道德影响冲突，导致任何可能的结论，将不利地感知这样的方式。在当今世界，医疗保健专业人士期望得到越来越多地面临伦理困境（布克哈特与纳撒尼尔，2008）并且扮演关键角色。
An ethical dilemma can be characterized as a set of circumstances where one’s typical guiding moral influences clash in such a way that any possible conclusion will be perceived unfavorably. In today’s world, healthcare professionals can expect to be increasingly confronted with and play key roles in the resolution of ethical dilemmas (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2008). This paper serves to explore, in detail, an ethical dilemma relating to civil confinement and the implications from its lack of use in regard to the recent Arizona shooting tragedy. A January 11, 2011 article obtained from The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) News called “Tucson Shooter Jared Loughner: Could Anything Have Stopped Alleged Gunman?” will be a prime resource for this purpose. This paper will examine the alternative of civil confinement and its significance in the context of this tragedy using Uustal’s framework for ethical decision making. Ethical theories and principles will be presented and discussed as supportive arguments.

本月早些时候，在2011年1月8日，19人在图森地区的超市被枪杀，他们之中六人致命，是一场大屠杀。枪手已被确定为22岁的Jared Loughner。调查显示，Loughner展出了一些拍摄前令人不安和麻烦的行为。
Earlier this month, on January 8, 2011, nineteen people were gunned down outside of a Tucson-area supermarket, six of them fatally, in a massacre-style shooting. The gunman has been identified as 22-year old Jared Loughner. Investigations have revealed that Loughner exhibited disturbing and troublesome behavior on a number of occasions preceding the shooting. At his college campus, his behavior was regarded as so bizarre by class Professor Ben McGahee and fellow classmates that McGahee repeatedly requested the involvement of the school counselor. Campus police were also notified and responded to concerns regarding Loughner’s behavior on at least five separate occasions (Netter, 2011). The Washington Post (2011) reports that several students requested that Loughner be required to undergo psychological testing and treatment. The Washington Post (2011) also reports that Professor McGahee was insistent to the school counselor that something needed to be done. However, the counselor’s response indicated that since Loughner had not brought a weapon to class and did not appear to be hurting anyone, that not much could be done. Ultimately, in September 2010, campus police issued Loughner a notice of school suspension informing him that he could return to school only after undergoing a mental health evaluation that deemed him as not posing a threat to himself or others. Tragically, Loughner never pursued this evaluation. Netter’s article discusses whether further steps, namely Loughner’s civil confinement, could have prevented this tragedy. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, the answer would seem obvious. But, if we backpedal, and apply the benefits of hindsight in hopes of avoiding future similar tragedies, maybe awareness 本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
