The passages in Leviticus, above, all deal with aspects of social welfare. God clearly has an interest in the welfare of all his people. List arguments for and against intervention, from scripture if possible. God also granted him the gift of unusual, profound wisdom. Discuss as a group and defend your positions from scripture if possible.
Some scientists refuse to carefully consider the ethical implications of their new research.
Some HMOs set standards for frequency of mammograms that differ from American Cancer Society guidelines. Some Christian thinkers believe that all managed-care arrangements are inherently unethical, as they remove the patient's physician from his or her primary role as patient advocate. Financial considerations for the whole group come into play. On the other hand, if a physician only considers the interests of the patient in front of them, there is the possibility that he or she may do things that are clearly not in the interest of society as a whole. This is not a simple issue.
