Imagine that you are working as a veterinary scientist and you have been called in to assess some grazing pasture for livestock. Using information from the following links or other resources that you find in your research, prepare a report on five different plants that pose a threat to grazing livestock in one Canadian province. In your report, you should:

Identify five different plant species that are potentially poisonous or toxic to livestock such as cows or horses.
Describe what the plants look like, including descriptions of any flowers or seeds, so that the farmer or rancher could identify the plants.
Discuss the typical habitat for the plant. Where would the plant most likely be found?
Describe the symptoms or signs of this poisonous/toxic plant in livestock.
Assess how toxic the plant is. For example, how much of a plant would cattle have to ingest for the cattle to become ill.
Identify what treatment options might be available for livestock who have been affected. If a plant is highly toxic, it is ok to state that treatment is unlikely to succeed.

A10-year-old girl suffered from a rare malignancy in her brain and around her spinal cord. she had surgery, and most of the tumor mass was removed, but residual tumor remained in the brain and around the spinal cord. the girl's doctors informed her parents that chemotherapy and radiation were possible treatment options but could cause serious problems such as sepsis, a permanent loss of iq and stature, and even death. the parents wished to proceed with the therapy. while their child was undergoing aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, the parents did independent research and read of several drugs being administered for cancer in other states that were unapproved by the federal drug administration (fda) and were illegal in their home state but were touted by physicians using them as miracle cures." furthermore, one of the girl's doctors released the girl's medical records to another physician to get a "second opinion" without informing the parents. this particular physician is a member of the same country club as the parents. he happens to share facts from the medical records with other members who end up telling the girl's parents. the couple sued their child's physician for failure to disclose alternative treatments, thus depriving them of informed consent. the couples also sued the child's physician for sharing their daughter's records in violation of the girl's privacy. how should the court rule in both cases? did the child's physician involved follow the law? did he act ethically in either situation? explain your answer. under the doctrine of informed consent, should a physician be responsible for informing patients of all treatment options, even if some of the treatments are illegal or not yet proven effective?
