I am a student pursuing a career in pharmaceutical ethics and am well-versed in a number of different ethical perspectives. I wish to help others answer ethical questions of varying complexity, and, if desired, to operate within a particular ethical paradigm to provide solutions. I particularly wish to help college students and other young people address the moral dilemmas they face, while maintaining a non-judgmental and welcoming atmosphere.

In addition to my law degree, I have a master's degree in bioethics and a doctorate of philosophy involving comparative medical, legal and business ethics. I am an adjunct professor at a medical school teaching ethics to healthcare professionals and graduate students.

I can answer questions dealing with general ethics principles, including legal ethics, medical ethics, bioethics and business ethics. I am not a moralist and do not interject subjective values such as what is morally right and wrong. Also, I do not give legal advice over the internet.

As a former United Methodist pastor, I think I am qualified to address the issue of right and wrong. I believe some things are wrong, and some are right. Some actions may be right, but for the wrong reason. And some persons undertake wrong actions for a right reason.

Ethics or Moral Philosophy is typically divided into three categories. Meta-Ethics, Normative Ethics, and Applied Ethics. Meta-Ethics is the theoretical study of the nature of morals and ethics. Normative Ethics comprises the set of theories used to determine the correctness of a given individual or institutional action. Normative theories may be based on consequences (e.g. utilitarianism), duty (e.g. the moral philosophy of Kant), or Virtue Ethics (e.g. Natural Law theories). The third branch of ethics, Applied Ethics, involves the application of one of the normative theories to a concrete situation. (e.g. Business Ethics, Legal Ethics, Medical Ethics, etc.) I am qualified to answer questions related to normative ethics and some areas of applied ethics such as Legal, Business and Governmental Ethics.
