As a foreign policy tool, trade embargoes, such as U.S. embargoes against Cuba, Iraq (until 2003), and North Korea, are meant to influence and shape the behavior of foreign governments. Embargoes also cause a great deal of misery among the population (such as food and medicine shortages, unemployment due to lack of trade, shortages of basic household necessities, etc.). In this discussion, you will consider whether you think such trade embargoes work and whether they are ethical.
For your initial post in the discussion forum, review information from Chapter 5 in the textbook and use your personal judgment to answer the following questions:
In your opinion, do trade embargoes work? Does it actually shape the behavior of foreign nations or is it just ineffective punishment?
Are these embargoes unethical?

Are there other ways to get these governments to listen to the United States?
Provide at least one example of a trade embargo situation that supports your positions
Respond to at least two of your peers, addressing the following:

Do you agree with their positions? If not, do you find their supporting evidence persuasive? Tell them! If you agree with their position, can you suggest additional examples to further support them?

FUTILITY When if ever should medical interventions be considered “futile ”? Do you agree with Bernard Lo that such judgments must be distinguished from judgments about a patient’s quality of life? Should the language of futile care be abandoned altogether or does it have a limited role? 1. In the 1960s there was a change from a cardio-pulmonary definition of clinical death to a whole brain definition. This change was spearheaded by a Harvard ad hoc committee. The Harvard committee argued that such a definition was necessary for two reasons. The improvements in cardiopulmonary support have led to our ability to keep the heart beating of patients whose brains are irreversibly damaged, thereby creating a burden on the patient and the family of the patient. The second reason is that the old cardiopulmonary criteria have made it difficult to obtain organs to transplant. The main problem is that on these old standards, one had to wait for the heart to stop beating before pronouncing death, thereby delaying harvesting of the organs causing them to deteriorate, and making them unsuitable for transplant purposes. However, the new criteria avoids this problem because patients can be pronounced dead while their hearts still beat.
