You have a patient who is dying. After many tests, you have determined that the cause is one of two things. Both have identified treatments, however you do not have time to do further testing to identify which is the root cause. You also do not have time to try both treatments as the condition has gotten severe.
The first treatment is the safer route, and hospital protocol. It will cause no harm if you make the wrong diagnosis, but the patient will still die because you haven't got time to administer the second treatment.
The second treatment will cure the condition if diagnosis is correct, but will speed up death if your diagnosis is wrong.
Doctor A chooses the first treatment. His diagnosis is wrong and the patient dies.
Doctor B chooses the second treatment. His diagnosis is also wrong and the patient dies.

Are either of these doctors legally responsible for the death of their patient?

would britney be less qualified as a mother for custody if she suffered from any other disease / health condition ?

how can a judge order her to test or treat anything ?

let's say a person has cancer. are they forced to go for treatment ? in order to retain their parental rights.

i do not agree with what the press has shown of her mothering skills, but , the father does not seem ideal either. the fact that he has previous kids and didn't fight for custody makes me curious as to why he wants these kids. assume it must be about money or anger. what happens when he gets tired of the kids.

For women who had an abortion.

If abortion is a murder and most conservatives support capital punishment, then why not?

(and related to this, would you charge a doctor as an accomplice? )

got in to a fight 6 weeks ago and the police asked me to go to statnon 2mo. The guy i had a fight with was my sisters ex husband. He was from pakistan and immigrant. My sister called him over and when he came to england he wasnt intrested in my sister but more intrested in going after other girls. The marriage broke down and my dad was a very nice guy he didnt want to send my sisters ex husband back because his family back in pakistan were poor. so my dad thought good for him but even though he turned out to be bad. Once he got his visa in the Uk he started threatning my family including my sisters and my elderly mother. He was making abusive phone calls to my house in the middle of the nite, and when he saw any of my family on the street he abused them. But 6 weeks ago he abused me, and he grabbed hold of me and wont let me go so i totally knocked him out clean, i wanted to teach him a lesson. what could i say to the police am scared ? if i go to cout it will affect my career

My kids don't ride the school bus- they're too young for primary school and I drive my daughter to preschool. My neighbor's kids are about seven or eight years old (twins) and she sends them to the end of the driveway to wait for the bus in the mornings. She doesn't wait with them, so I don't think she knows. This morning, when they got picked up, I was in my driveway at my car getting some things packed into my trunk to take to a friend's house and the neighbors kids were talking to me. The bus pulled up to pick up the kids and the driver was smoking a cigar in the bus- is this legal? I would think since he's got kids in the bus, they wouldn't want him to smoke on it. Should I call the school and let them know? Maybe I'm making too much of it..

A challenge to all members (posters) of Yahoo! Answers and a challenge to the following Top Contributors (in level 7): FRAGINAL-NOYPI, coragryph, BeachBum, Brian, David B, CGIV76 and m1a1mikegolf. Many of these people post in (1) politics and government and (2) law and ethics.

For a longtime and almost forever, we Americans have been hearing about the Iraq War from our government's point of view. The media continually repeating US government propaganda.

How many of you know that if you want the Iraq War to end today, yes today, you can end the Iraq War and help save both Iraqi lives and US troop lives?

How do you do this? (1) By informing yourselves of the real truth behind the Iraq War and (2) by banning together in some kind of group to demand that our government end this illegal, bloody, and murderous war?

Court ordered for the Dad to have "Supervised Visits" at the children's daycare from 2-5. That was in 2005. Since then, the oldest is now in school, and can't visit until 3:00 due to school, and they are no longer at the daycare because the Mom's schedule changed.

The mom proposed to meet at Mc Donalds, with her or a third party supervising his visit from 3-5, due to school which can no longer be from 2-5.

The Dad "agreed" to this written down and signed by both parties.

As long as they agreed, and they have been doing it for a year, the judge should have no problem with it right?

The dad only comes like once a month and it's only when it's "Convenient for him"

Please only honest, nice, respectful answers, all others will be ignored.

The mom made a reasonable solution so he can visit, and if he didn't agree they could have gone to court but since they did agree there was no reason to go to court.

What if they STOP agreeing on it or a problem arises?

BELMONT, Calif. — Officials in Belmont have given final approval to a new smoking ban that is considered to be one of the toughest in the nation.

After a late push to ease some of the restrictions, the Belmont City Council voted Tuesday to pass the anti-smoking ordinance.

Prohibitions on smoking in parks and other public places will take effect in 30 days. The ordinance's most hotly contested elements — which ban smoking inside apartments and condominiums — won't be enforced for another 14 months.

Officials say the ordinance was written so that smokers will only face enforcement if their neighbors complain.

People will still be able to smoke on Belmont's streets and sidewalks as long as they are not loitering near the entrance to homes or businesses and in parking lots and designated smoking areas.

in order to apply for U.S. citizenship? I was charged with assault and battery but it was self-defense. They didn't believe me but they dropped the charges anyway. On the citizenship application they ask you if you have been arrested before. Even if someone is not convicted of anything they consider that "lack of good moral character". Would I still have to wait to show 5 straight years of good moral character?

1. With illegal immigration being a big deal,the ACLU states that it is in violation of their civil rights to deny benefits to the Illegals,meaning they should get free health care,free education for their kids and govt. assistance checks (all of which the American tax payer pays for). But I was under the impression that if you enter the country illegally,you are breaking the law.

2. There is an organization called NAMBLA.It is a sick organization that believes grown men should be allowed to have sex with little boys and the ACLU is on their legal team defending their right to do this.

I suspect a 12 year old boy who lives near me is on drugs. I know this boy is already smoking cannabis as I have saw him smoking it with some older boys a few times. He comes from a large dysfunctional family. I know for a fact one of his older brothers (age 18-19) is using heroin and crack. The thing is I think the 12 year old is also using hard drugs, if you could see how this boy looks you would understand why I think he is on drugs, he has huge puffy dark bags under his eyes, not the type of puffy eyes you get from smoking cannabis, this is a lot worse and he is always filled with anger (as if he is on a come down from drugs). I also suspect his father is selling drugs as some of the local junkies have become very friendly with the father in recent months, maybe the kid is stealing the drugs from the fathers stash? I know social services are already involved with this family some am unsure if contacting them would do any good. I really feel for this little boy, he deserves better

With the CIA seen critical in some parts of the world for abducting suspected terrorists and transferring them to friendly allies for further questioning, the thought came to mind, why do we not outsource part of our prison system. I have seen cost numbers per prison inmate per year here in the US of $100,000.

I am sure that Turkey, a good ally in our war in Iraq could take care of our problem at a fraction of that cost. A possible win/ win. The Republic of Georgia (another good ally, who have just more than doubled their troop commitment in Iraq) or Russia with its low cost prisons in Siberia could also be candidates.

The cost savings for the US taxpayer, perhaps as much as 90%. Not to mention the element of deterrence when repeat offenders and hardened criminals face "outsourcing".

I assume, not really a new proposal, still your thoughts?

You know what I am going to try to calm down on this one. White people say that black people blame EVERYTHING on racism. Well you know what I don't but I do blame a few on it. Example if I am driving and I am not braking any laws then why do I get pulled over and told that the reason is "I just wanted to check you out" check me out for what? Another one is lets see its 2 Am in the morning I just get down parking my car in a parking spot at an apartment and I get out, as I am getting out a police rides up on me and starts lookin all at me and then stops me and handcuffs me and makes me sit on the curb of the street while they do a backround check on me all the whole time asking me all type of stupid questions. I am 25 yrs. old and I that means that I have the right to come home at whatever time I feel like it. That very night I had done nothing wrong and the police had to let me go but don't u see that thats racism. Leave me alone I am tired of being treated like a criminal.

Ok so an offender deserves his/her sentence but where do human rights come in when a prisoner is denied medical treatment, or given physical abuse to the point of death or permanent ailments?? Ive seen tapes and heard stories and i personally wanna avenge the lives and families of these people!! Why does our system still allow oppression and torture of our native jailed citizens??I wanna personally punish every person who abuses their priviladge of abusing prisoners no matter what their crimes!! Our penal system is full of punks and Puss*** who man to man couldnt take a punch from a real man like me!! Cause id put them in the hospital so be it!! Your in a position to correct/protect so what gives you the right to abuse your position??

ciggarettes have been proven to cause all sorts of health problems yet we can buy them freely with out fear of being charged- does this have anything to do with the billions of dollars our government makes from them i think so.
marijuana whilst in certain people who are sensitive(an exteremly low percentage of people) to thc can cause some health problems but is no where near as deadly as ciggarettes. I belive the only reason that marijuana is illeagal is because the government can not possibly stop people growing it themselves and are therefore unable to profit from making it legal

Thanks indeed Mr.Vijay. M for your valuable piece of advice which could be made possible thro this forum.
However in the last 2 lines of your answer, you have echoed my concern:-
RWAs lose their cases in all such commissions/forums/courts etc because they themselves are flying high & depend on a local resident lawyer that they fail to find the real counter for the builders/colonizer’s claim who engage services of the best of the lawyers/advocates for this purpose.
If we could have yr contact no may be we shall ask for professional help from you.
