Mentor’s comment-
- In the introduction discuss about the context of the question.
- In the body explain that
Sex ratio is an important social indicator measuring extent of prevailing equity between males and females in a society. Discuss that in the above case doctor is being persuaded or ordered to go for sex selective test by the Health Minister. The ethical dilemma will be whether to follow the medical and moral duty of saving a fetus or saving the friend in need from the pressure of her in-laws by accepting their demands or follow the orders of the seniors.
Discuss the case involved – ethical dilemma and how as an ethical doctor you would do your duty. - Conclude by justifying your stand.

9 responses to “You are a doctor in a government hospital. One of your lady friends got married in very rich and influential family. However, with passage of time you came to know that the family is very conservative as she visited you to seek your help in determining sex of the child at fetus stage. As her in-laws want a boy child to act as inheritor of the family. They have also ordered to abort the child if it is girl. Later her in-laws insisted hard and connected the doctor with the health minister on mobile phone. The minister said the doctor to help them in all possible manners without saying anything about the issue at hand. Thus reporting about the issue to police is waste. Answer the following questions: (a) What are the ethical dilemmas in the above case? (b) Do you think that your moral obligation also demands to help your friend? 10 marks”

Hi Samiksha
First write the introductory lines. In this question, you can write about the poor sex ratio and gender bias in the country.
There are two more stakeholders –
-Health minister who is complicit on the act
– The law. As going through with it is violation of PC-PNDT act, 1994.
You have written the ethical dilemmas involved in the case study in a haphazard manner, improve this thing.
After writing the options available, conclude with a fair and balanced solution.
Work on presentation and think in a broader sense while solving the case studies.
Keep writing, you will improve.

Hi Divya
First write the introductory lines. In this question, you can write about the poor sex ratio and gender bias in the country.
There are more stakeholders involved in the case study-
-The doctor in-charge of the procedure
-Health minister who is complicit on the act
-The law. As going through with it is violation of PC-PNDT act, 1994.
Ethical issues are discussed in a decent manner.
Good reasoning in the options available.
Conclude with the importance of girl child in the society and mention schemes like ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’.
Keep writing.
Please review

Sir guide me regarding stakeholders involve how to start a case study I was waiting for your review
You can start the case study by briefly explaining the case study or quote some repoort. There is no specific rule for it. And it is not necessary to mention the stakeholders involved in the case study, but if you can metion then do mention as diversification in an answer always gives you an edge .
Thank you sir
