Define guiding principles for allocating resources, including ensuring equitable distribution.

Describe how to balance the biblical call to stewardship with the responsibilities as a healthcare executive to the organization and the community.

Tobias has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He has researched the disease and found out that scientists
have high hopes that stem cell research will provide some advancements to help treat Parkinson’s. In the past, Tobias and his
wife, Justine, have actively been against stem cell research that involved the use of human embryos. They felt that a human
embryo is a human life that should be protected. However, now that he has Parkinson’s, he has been given the option of
participating in a clinical study involving stem cells in which stem cells that have been genetically altered to produce dopamine
are implanted into patients in the hopes of alleviating the symptoms and progression of Parkinson’s disease. Do you think
Tobias should participate in the study? Why or why not?
