The use of placebos

Sources: You must use a minimum of two sources (they may all come from the Vaughn textbook). For example, you may cite the Vaughn reading from Paternalism and Autonomy (pp. 228-237) and Ackerman’s article “Why Doctors Should Intervene” (pp. 127-132). Hint: A good ethics paper will engage with three things, (1) the prompt, (2) concepts and (3) moral theory (e.g., utilitarianism or Kantian ethics). Furthermore, you should clearly state your position in the opening paragraph. This could be that you agree, disagree, or that you take some other third approach.
