Question that has to do with homework (case study for philosophy)?

If you are a nurse and refuse to help someone are you an accessory to murder?

It says shes a night nurse in an emergancy room at a community hospital. a policeman brings in a man with a critical gunshot wound. the young man has no identification and there is no way to know whether he has hospital insurance or not. the nurse has already been admonished several times for admitting patients without proper identification and proof of insurance. one more time and she is liable to lose her job.

It depends on the conditions -- and one of those conditions is that the person you refuse to help dies.

There are lots of things to consider -- was the nurse on duty? Could he have actually saved the person? Did he refuse to help him because he wanted to let him die? Is there a valid reason why he couldn't help him?

All of these things are factors. I suspect that there exists at least one scenario where a nurse who refused to help someone is an accessory to murder -- but most of the time I suspect the nurse is not liable.

No. Circumstances may prevent a nurse from helping if he/she puts his life or the lives of others in jeopardy by helping the person in question.
