Baby bollinger

The baby Bollinger case, in 1915 a baby was born without a neck, one ear misshapen chest and shoulders and major malformations. The doctor who delivered the baby was Dr. harry haiseiden a surgeon; he concluded that this “defective” baby’s life would not be worth saving. He convinced the parents to let their son die. Dr. haiselden speculated that the mother had typhoid fever before the pregnancy and might have been a contributing factor and would let the baby die by injecting the baby with narcotics. Legally this is illegal because this is murder of a child but during this time it was justified. Scientific this baby back then was consider an abomination and they did have the kind of technology to help this child live. My idea or ethics in this situations, i think they should have tried to spare his life but again the year this baby was born i would not hold it againt anyone that they killed thw child.

dolly the sheep

Bioethics
Dolly the sheep,


Dolly the she was the first successful cloned and healthy mammal in the world. She gave birth to six lambs to prove that she was fertile and prove that cloned animals can reproduce. The significance why dolly the sheep in bioethical issues is because cloning humans comes to mind. That’s a touchy subject because some think we should cloned humans for body part and then other think that they would be people and have the same rights we have. So yea kind of touchy but the result of dolly was we use cloned animals today for agriculture proposes.
