You are to give me your ETHICAL feelings on this article in 200 or more word answer {I will be using MS-WORD TOOLS, WORD COUNT to check the word count.} 3. QUESTIONS: Is she using sound Ethics in what she wants to do? Is she responsible for serving the 4 years active and 4 years in the Reserves? Is it okay for her to back out of her responsibility now that she can begin making a good sum of money as a Doctor? If they do let her out of the contract, does she have to pay back the $184,000.00 that the Army paid for her schooling? What other thoughts do you have? SOUND OF: A DUTY TO SERVE Mary Hanna?s medical education cost $184,000.00, which was paid for by the U. S. Army. Hanna had committed herself, once she became a doctor, to giving the Army four years of active duty and four years of reserve duty. Now that she's finished her residency, however, Hanna has notified the Army that she wants to reclassification as a conscientious objector based on religious beliefs that she has recently embraced. The case is now winding its way through the courts, {May be done in the courts by now as this was several years ago in the Register.} but there are ethical questions that don't depend on the legalities: Hanna's lawyer says that she's willing to repay the money, but even so, is she morally bound to carry out the commitment she made to the Army? Or does a new religious obligation trump an old contractual agreement? What do you think?
