A current situation in medicine today where ethics and medicine conflict is in the case of abortion. The conflict resides in peoples morals and beliefs whether to have abortion legal or illegal. Abortion, which is the termination or removal of an embryo, is highly debated and controversial for the fact that a life is being taken away. The conflict of abortion is viewed differently among people and this has to do with their beliefs, morals, and in most cases their religion. The thing that separates people on this topic is justifying taking away the life that is the embryo or fetus when in the mother. There are reasons that people have for defending abortion the big one would be rape which is not the most common and is almost another argument in itself. Other reasons include the mother not being able to raise the child due to their economic status or because they simply are too young and are caught up in school and the idea of raising a child wouldn't seem possible. The list goes on. However on the other hand of the argument there are many arguments that oppose abortion the main reason being that a life is being taken away from someone who never had a say in whether they live or die. Other arguments include that the child should be given up for adoption or the mother should make arrangements for taking care of the child. All of which seem like the right choice in the eyes or the people who oppose abortion. I know about abortion just from hearing about it my whole life through the media, school religion and many other places. I think that both sides of this argument have plenty to say and their views are clear. A Defense of Abortion.
Why Abortion is Immoral. Both of these articles had a different view on the topic of Abortion and why it involves ethics. However i feel that Why Abortion is Immoral is more compelling because it appeals more to my morals and what i believe in.
