Comment 1

Procreation is the bringing forth of an offspring while reproduction is Meilaender stated in his writing that “we should not hesitate to regard reproduction that makes use of third parties collaborators as wrong- even when collaboration seems to be in a good cause” (Meilaender, 2013). Meilaender referred to begotten as a child that is born in marriage and by natural means. In contrast to being made, which was presented as any child produced outside the of the traditional setting which being born from a marriage between man and woman by natural means. Being born out of wedlock, cloning, and other means of producing a child is seen as “being made.” I do not agree with his descriptions. An individual should not be made to feel like a failure in God’s eyes for wanting to become a parent using alternative methods and or for reproducing out of wedlock. If the child is loved and cared for, then how they came to be should not matter or have a name to describe it. For example, a cousin of  mine couldn’t conceive a child through natural means so instead she had to use IVF. She and her husband are caring people who love their daughter very much.

Comment 2

In this religious and scientific world, procreation and reproduction and being begotten or being made all are quiet complex questions. Procreation is the bringing your offspring to this world and reproduction is the process in which organisms are produced by their parents. However, with different schools altogether with different views they would have various different ways of approaching the same topic. Generally, cloning is replicating genetically identical organisms and replication is the power of science. However, all these issues are based on morality. According to Meileander, by following the Christian theology a child is the gift of God therefore, it holds a lot of importance and is valued a lot (Middletown, J.Richard. (1994)). Basically, I would tend to agree with the description on the basis of its analysis and precision but from the moral point of view it lacks its value.

Submit your findings in a 3-5 page report.

As you begin to prepare this assessment, it would be an excellent choice to complete the Nonprofit Organizations and Community Health activity. Complete this activity to gain insight into promoting equal opportunity and improving the quality of life in a community. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment.

Professional Context

Many organizations work to better local and global communities’ quality of life and promote health and safety in times of crisis. As public health and safety advocates, nurses must be cognizant of how such organizations help certain populations. As change agents, nurses must be aware of factors that impact the organization and the services that it offers. Familiarity with these organizations enables the nurse to offer assistance as a volunteer and source of referral.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you gain insight into the mission, vision, and operations of a community services organization of interest.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 1: Analyze health risks and health care needs among distinct populations. 
  • Explain how an organization’s work impacts the health and/or safety needs of a local community.
• Competency 2: Propose health promotion strategies to improve the health of populations. 
  • Explain how an organization’s mission and vision enable it to contribute to public health and safety improvements.
• Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.

You have particular interest in one of these organizations but would like to know more about how it contributes to public health and safety improvements. In addition, you would like to report the results of your research in a scholarly paper that you could submit for publication.

Meaningful Use is a program whereby a certified electronic health record can meet a set of standards set by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, which will result in a payback of money to the provider or hospital using the system to offset the cost of the EHR (Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, 2015; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, 2014).

Describe one standard from any of the Meaningful Use stages and explain what the benefit of the standard is to healthcare
