How can the Christian concept of the imago Dei inform a holistic perspective of the patient within their family and community?

Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.

This assignment will focus on introducing you to the question of human dignity and, in particular, the Christian perspective of the intrinsic worth and value of each person. You will have the opportunity to integrate this insight with scientific and philosophical approaches that inform judgements made in health care and contrast it with secular approaches to human value and worth. The logic of human rights will be made explicit as you engage with different concepts of “moral status.”

Based on your reading of the “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality” (attached) and topic Resources, complete the “Moral Status: Case Analysis” (attached) document, in which you will analyze the case study in relation to the following:

• Christian view of the nature of human persons, theory of moral status, intrinsic human value, and dignity
• Theory or theories used by individuals in the case to determine the moral status
• How each theory used determines or influences recommendations for action
• Moral status theory personal response
• Integration of knowledge in health care (theories, multiple ways of knowing, evidence) and knowledge from other disciplines inform and support current or future professional health care practices and judgements

Support your response using only Chapter 2 from the textbook Practicing Dignity: An Introduction to Christian Values and Decision-Making in Health Care and the Topic 2 Resource “The Image of God, Bioethics, and Persons With Profound Intellectual Disabilities.”

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
