Ethical considerations and implication to medical practice for physicians when using the new technology of OnControl power bone marrow biopsy systems
The OnControl power bone marrow biopsy has been found to be significantly less painful than other forms of bone marrow biopsies and also more accurate which raises significant ethical questions regarding the impetus to use the product. The OnControl Bone Marrow (OBM) Biopsy System achieves this result by using a battery-powered drill to penetrate the bone, thus reducing trauma (Reed et al. 2011). Not only is OBM less traumatic; it is also more accurate, given that "the mean length of the marrow biopsy specimens," is significantly longer with the use of ONM and comparatively, side effects are no greater with the use of OBM than that of a conventional control group (Reed et al. 2011). The greater accuracy of OBM also meant that there was less of a need for repeat biopsies.
The emphasis on doing no harm to the patient suggests that the need to use the OnControl method for healthcare providers is clearly manifest from an ethical perspective. Conventional manual rotary technique involves more grinding and stimulation which results in more pain and particularly in patients with more flesh, "the biopsy length...

Ethical Considerations of Children as Organ Donors Ethical dilemmas are defined as a situation that "…involves the need to choose from among two or more morally acceptable courses of action, when one choice prevents selecting the other; or, the need to choose between equally unacceptable alternatives (Hamric, Spross, and Hanson, 2000 cited in: A Framework for Resolving Ethical Dilemmas in Healthcare, 2003) Chasson writes that values and ethics have a relationship
Posing as medical professionals does not provide the greatest amount of good, as it led mothers away from the superior practice of breastfeeding, by deception. The primary good this caused was to Nestle and its stakeholders. Giving new mothers samples and providing no or low-cost supplies to health institutions, however, was not ethically wrong. These mothers and institutions received the benefit of free and low-cost supplies. It was then
