Exam Questions. The topic of this midterm concerns medicine in multi-cultural contexts, specifically, religious frameworks that conflict with conventional Western medical practice.
The questions directly concern Christian Science as discussed in the book, Praying for a Cure.
1. Margaret Battin, (“High Risk Religion: Christian Science and the Violation of Informed Consent,”) states that “the conditions for autonomous choice involve three criteria: (1) the decision must be uncoerced;
(2) it must be rationally unimpaired; and (3) it must be adequately informed.” Explain how, according to Battin, the Christian Science church violates each of these three conditions of autonomy in the way it influences the medical decision making of its members. (30 points)
2. Peggy DesAutels (“Rational Choice and Alternative World Views”) argues that Christian Science does not offer an alternative medicine but rather an alternative world view to the world view of medical science. What does this mean? What is the world view of Christian Science as compared to the world view of medical science? Explain how this response may, or may not, save Christian Science from Battin’s criticism. (30 points)
3. Larry May (“Challenging Medical Authority”) considers two Christian Science cases of refusing medical treatment. Briefly discuss EITHER the case of Robyn Twitchell, or the case of Colin Newmark in terms of the following question: “What professional obligation(s)[if any]are owed to patients who belong to a religious culture that instructs its members to use prayer instead of conventional medical treatment for themselves and their children?” (40 points)
