Based on Lisa Belkin's text: First Do No Harm, answer the following:

1. In two examples of Patrick Dismuke and Armando Dimas mentioned in the First Do No Harm text, how would you have reached a decision? Describe your decisions in terms of the role of the law and ethical principles, such as the bioethical, harmonies, and compassionate principles that you feel your choice supports or compromises, and any drawbacks that you feel might need to be addressed in addition to the compromise in values. Instead of just listing the values that are relevant to the decision made, describe how the values are upheld or violated.

2. What are the merits and drawbacks of a hospital ethics committee in resolving ethical issues in patient care, particularly towards the end of life, using examples from the Belkin text?
