If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,— My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight Drove to this tumult in the clouds; I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behind In balance with this life, this death.

Bioethics Case Study Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease caused by a mutation in the beta-globin gene responsible for producing an important subunit of hemoglobin. People that have 2 copies of the mutation have the disease, and those that have 1 copy do not have the disease but are considered “carriers”. At the molecular level, abnormalities in the hemoglobin protein cause it to clump, which leads the red blood cells (rbcs) that carry hemoglobin to become misshapen. As a result, the rbcs cannot bind oxygen as efficiently and the body is deprived of oxygen (anemia). The abnormally shaped rbcs also slow down blood flow and become clogged in narrow blood vessels, causing pain. There is no cure for sickle cell anemia, and the goal of treatment is to manage symptoms. Robin, a 30-year-old female, is a carrier for sickle cell anemia. She recently married Brent, who is also a carrier for sickle cell anemia. They want to start having kids immediately but cannot afford the invasive and expensive assisted reproductive technologies that would ensure them a baby without sickle cell anemia. If they decide to have children naturally, they will have a 1-in-4 (25%) chance of producing a child with the disease. Robin has close relatives who suffer significantly with sickle cell anemia, and she does not want to bring a child into the world with the same difficult fate. Brent is more optimistic and takes the view that they have a 3-in-4 (75%) chance of producing a child that does NOT have sickle cell anemia. Robin does not want to “play the odds” and would prefer to adopt, while Brent feels strongly about having a biological child. Which of the following is an ethical question raised here? Which of the following is a relevant scientific fact to this ethical question? Which of the following is not a stakeholder in how this ethical question gets resolved? Which of the following is not paired with the correct relevant ethical consideration?
