For this week’s assignment respond to one of the following options, and include Option 1, 2, or 3 as part of your heading.
Option 1: The first option is to name and describe in detail a key specific and recent healthcare technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your approach to what an utilitarian and ethical egoist would say (each independently).
Option 2: In the second option, name and describe in detail a key specific and recent social technology. What are at least two key moral problems this technology creates? What are the proper moral guidelines for dealing with it in your view? Compare your moral approach to what an utilitarian and social contract ethicist would say (each independently).
Option 3: John Doe, Patient One, is in late stage of kidney disease. If he does not receive a new kidney, then he is predicted to die within a week. Doe is 45, single, and has no children. Doctors theorize that Doe damaged his kidney by not following a low-salt diet. Doe inherited one million dollars and is known for giving money to charity. Without a transplant, he will probably be forced to spend all his money searching for a kidney outside of the usual legal channels. Patient Two is Jane Doe (no relation to John). Patient Two is a mother of two children (ages 21 and 24). She is divorced and 55 years old. She developed kidney problems due to eating a high-fat and high-sugar diet. If she does not receive a kidney within one month, doctors believe she will die. Patient Three is an orphan. This orphan lives in a state facility. She was born with a genetic condition that constantly damages her kidney. The only known approach to her condition is to provide her with a kidney transplant every so often. She is 11 and has already undergone two kidney transplants. She will perish in two months if she does not receive another transplant.
All three patients are at the same hospital. The hospital only has one kidney to give out. The orphan’s birth parents were known to be of a religion that is opposed to organ donation. The other patients come from religions that do not oppose organ donation. Who should get the kidney? Why should that candidate receive it over the others? Devise a course of social action and a solution for this case by using the ethics of egoism and then utilitarianism to a key moral conflict involving health care in this case. Appraise the interests of diverse populations (in terms of ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) and how they relate to the case.
For all the options:

You should not be using any text you used in a discussion board or assignment for this class or any previous class.
You will submit all of the following:

Option #1
Virtual reality (VR) technology has been used for numerous uses in healthcare. Of interest is the use of VR to develop communication and social skills of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD may have communication and behavior difficulties and sometimes have social impairments. Many studies have found that when children with ASD improve their communication skills, there are “improvements in daily living and social skills, and a reduction in behavior problems relating to social interactions for children with ASD” (Stewart et al., 2019). Moreover, these children struggle within social situations, which can be observed in various ways. For instance, the child could have difficulties facing familiar people, scared speaking to people, or sometimes struggling to make eye contact.
Therefore, VR as an assistive technology helps children with ASD practice skills in a more less-time consuming, cheaper, and more scalable way. VR environment helps these children improve their social and conversational skills through neurodiverse backgrounds to practice conversation and play games. The VR experience develops conversational and social etiquette while enabling these children to engage in a supportive and safe practice (Stewart et al., 2019). Alongside verbal conversation, the games these children play helps them practice joint attention skills and nonverbal communication such as waving. According to Mesa-Gresa et al. (2018), when children with ASD play VR games, it helps them overcome their …………for help with this assignment contact us via Email Address: consulttutor10@gmail.com
