Is Moral Theory Perplexed by New Genetic Technology? Richard J. Arneson From Choice to Chance: Genes and the Just Society intelligently addresses difficult issues at the intersection of medical ethics and the theory of justice. The authors, Dan Brock, Allen Buchanan, Norman Daniels, and Daniel Wikler, repeatedly emphasize their opinion that advances in genetic technology force upon us entirely ...

In "Just Health", Norman Daniels makes a strong argument for obligations of mutual assistance to fulfill the right to health at the national level and challenges readers to develop arguments supporting obligations of mutual assistance at the global level. In this paper, we argue that there is global responsibility for global health and that there are obligations of justice (beyond charity) to h...

The Margolus-Levitin lower bound on minimal time required for a state to be transformed into an orthogonal state is generalized. It is shown that for some initial states new bound is stronger than the Margolus-Levitin one.

While at Ursinus Norm set a goal to become a professor and upon graduation he accepted a teaching assistantship from the Division of Mathematical Sciences at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. During his first term he met his wife Barbara (also a TA) in an Abstract Algebra class. Barbara was a secondary school mathematics teacher until their two children were born. She now teaches pa...

Over 45 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured. Those living in poverty exhibit the worst health status. Employment, education, income, and race are important factors in a person's ability to acquire healthcare access. Having established that there are people lacking healthcare access due to multi-factorial etiologies, the question arises as to whether the intervention necessary to ass...

It is well documented that the higher the socioeconomic status (SES) of patients, the better their health and life expectancy. SES also influences the use of health services-the higher the patients' SES, the more time and specialised health services provided. This leads to the following question: should clinicians give priority to individual patients with low SES in order to enhance health equi...

Recent researchers have shown that high levels of background noise have a detrimental effect on students’ abilities to perform learning tasks. Daniels (1985), Jewell (1977, 1978), and HambrickDixon found that high noise levels produced a detrimental effect on students’ abilities to perform cognitive or psychomotor skills. Jewel1 (1977, 1978) also discovered that students exposed to higher level...

Abstract In this paper, we consider the potential and implications of using social networking sites such as Facebook® in nurse education. The concept of social networking and the use of Facebook will be explored, as will the theoretical constructs specific to the use of online technology and Web 2.0 tools. Theories around Communities of Inquiry (Garrison, Anderson, & Archer, 2000), Communities ...
