Therac-25I HAVE INCLUDED THE SECTION FROM THE BOOK THAT TALKS ABOUT THERAC25 , AND THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PAPER READ THEM BEFORE STARTING THE PAPER
At various points this semester we have discussed the Therac-25 case and its ethical implications. Section 8.5 in our textbook provides some background, as well as a discussion on the overall responsibility of the Therac-25 developers and managers. We learned of the various software and hardware issues, and the company’s responses to the various inquires and investigations. Unfortunately, their choices ultimately led to patient injury and death.
The Computing Cases (http://computingcases.org/) site provides more background on the Therac-25 case. The site also contains a table with links (http://computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/analysis/Intro_to_Analysis.html) to help us delve into the various ethical issues we should consider.
Finally, we also have a case from from Ethics Unwrapped at the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-studies.
For our final case response paper this semester, we will focus on many ethical issues involved when considering the overall impact:
General Ethical Issues
Causing Harm
Fundamental Principles (Quinn, Section 9.4.2)
To prepare for this case, please do the following:
Review the Therac-25 case in the textbook (Section 8.5)
Read a “A History of the Introduction and Shut Down of Therac-25”: http://computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/case_history/Case%20History.html
Read “Genesis of the Therac-25”: http://computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/supporting_docs/levenson/Therac%20History.html
Scan the Therac-25 case history: http://computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/supporting_docs/therac_resources/Timeline.html
Look over the Therac-25 Ethical Issues table: http://computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/analysis/Intro_to_Analysis.html
Read the Therac-25 case in Ethics Unwrapped: https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-study/therac-25
Watch the Causing Harm video: https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/video/causing-harm
In the Case Response Paper, address the following:
Section 1
Answer all five (5) of the the Ethics Unwrapped questions: https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/case-study/therac-25#discussion-questions
Make sure to include Section 1 as a heading and each question number–not the question itself–as a sub-heading.
Section 2
Discuss and support at least three (3) of the nine (9) Alternative List of Fundamental Principles (9.4.2)that apply to the Therac-25 case:
Be impartial.
Disclose information that others ought to know.
Respect the rights of others.
Treat others justly.
Take responsibility for your actions and inactions.
Take responsibility for the actions of those you supervise.
Maintain your integrity.
Continually improve your abilities.
Share your knowledge, expertise, and values.
Make sure to note and discuss the clauses used for your support.
Make sure to include Section 2 as a heading and each of the Fundamental Principles as a sub-heading.
IMPORTANT
There is a plethora of information at the Computing Cases site. It can be overwhelming, so do not feel that you need to understand all of it. Still, it’s a valuable resource for this paper.
You may want to look over the list of Leveson Excerpts at http://computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/supporting_docs/Guide_to_Supporting_Docs.html to help you support your overall arguments. There is much in there that will help with Section2 of the paper.
Please note the following:
Make sure to answer all parts of each question.
Remember to follow the General Response Paper Guidelines. However, students do not need to ask if exceeding the 1250 word count.
Because there is so much information on the Computing Cases site, feel free to use these materials for the majority of your resources. However, make sure to at least find at least two (2) academic or technical resources of your own.THE FILE HAVE THE SECRION THAT TALKS ABOUT THERAC-25 READ IT BEFORE STARTING THE PAPER
