Essay Faith Case: Ignacio is Diagnosed with Terminal Cancer – Nursing Assignment Help

Assignment Task

In your final essay, you should respond to one of the following prompts:

1. Faith case: Ignacio is diagnosed with terminal cancer, and this initially causes him to suffer from extreme anguish and dread. After a couple of weeks, however, Ignacio develops faith that he will recover from the cancer: he acquires the belief that he will recover, despite the fact that his physicians tell him that recovery is very unlikely. Ignacio’s faith that he will recover buoys his spirits—he starts to speak and think optimistically, and he becomes determined to do whatever he can to recover. His faith also buoys the spirits of those close to him—his friends and loved ones become optimistic, and they offer a significant amount of emotional and material support to Ignacio. After one year, Ignacio’s cancer goes into complete remission: all of the signs and symptoms of his cancer have disappeared. His physicians tell him that very probably, the effects of Ignacio’s faith that he would recover on himself and his loved ones played a significant role in Ignacio’s recovery.

Question: Was it morally wrong for Ignacio to have faith that he would recover from his cancer?

2. Animal welfare case: Predator Free 2050 (PF2050) is a Crown-owned, charitable company that is working towards eradicating all introduced mammalian predators (such as stoats, rats, possums, and feral cats) in order to protect NZ’s endangered native species.

Question: Is it morally acceptable to use 1080 in an attempt to protect NZ’s endangered native species?
