1. Relevant principles of biomedical ethics.
Relevant principles of biomedical ethics.Relevant principles of biomedical ethics.This
assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically
analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles and
four boxes approach.Based on the ”Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other
required topic study materials, you will complete the ”Applying the Four Principles: Case
Study” document that includes the following: Part 1: ChartThis chart will formalize the
four principles and four boxes approach and the four-boxes approach by organizing the
data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics:
autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.Part 2: EvaluationThis part includes
questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be
applied according to the Christian worldview.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED,

materials. APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected Case Study:
Healing and Autonomy Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical
twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney
failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a
strep throat infection. The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent
kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment.
Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on
their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and
enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve. The attending physician
suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the
physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God. Mike and
Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had
witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after
a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing
service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet, Mike and Joanne
agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in
hopes that James would be healed by then.Two days later the family returned and was
forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and
tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. Had he not enough faith? Was God
punishing him or James? To make matters worse, James’s kidneys had deteriorated such
that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant.
2. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own
kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors. Over the next few weeks, amidst
daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to
donate a kidney to James. However, none of them were tissue matches. James’s nephrologist
called to schedule a private appointment with Mike and Joanne. James was stable, given the
regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year. Given the desperate
situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue
match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’s brother Samuel. Mike vacillates and
struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a kidney or perhaps
wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his
faith will come in? Mike reasons, “This time around it is a matter of life and death. What
could require greater faith than that?”Applying the Four Principles: Case StudyPart 1: Chart
