What would you consider an ethical dilemma? What would you debate from your own point of view? How can you use the links provided above to "prove" your point?

Ethical dilemmas are so important. They help you think in a way that can only help you going forward. And know that your own personal experiences/thoughts may be wildly different than that of a patient presented to you. And how to overcome your own thought process to the benefit of the patient at hand.

Best wishes
