If a woman chooses not to seek medical attention for her unborn child, is that not the same as a mother not seeking medical attention for her baby’s aliment? In fact I believe it is and we as a society consider that negligence. So we must decide that a fetus is not a part of the mother’s body but a person, and that her right to freedom of choice must be weighed against the fetus’s right to be born in a healthy state. Against: Are we as a society ready to demand more of an expectant mother than anyone else? If we are sincerely committed to equality then the answer must be no.
The final decision could be influenced by whether Sam and Marion would regard abortion as ethically acceptable if the baby were found to carry the Huntington's gene. Some people take a principled position that the unborn child has a right to life and that the parents are ethically wrong to choose abortion. Others take a utilitarian approach and consider that although abortion is always bad there are some
These side effects may affect one person but not another. This would be hard to study as you can not say it is exactly one thing, and then you would have to look at the extraneous variables which affect each problem. However, this could also be good as it is not really being reductionist in its own approach; it is looking at all the possible individual differences. If choosing a different approach, like cognitive, then it would still be difficult because you do not know what the person is thinking. You would have to rely on the patient giving you the information for it not is socially desirable or have demand characteristics.
After reading this, a Christian will be horrified because they believe that even before the baby is born, since the moment when an egg is fertilized, that future individual is consider as a person with sentiments and rights. Furthermore, in our days abortion is bad seen by Christianity because you are killing a baby that has any fault at all, and in Brave New World the concept of mother doesn’t mean anything, its even consider as a bad word. Also, people in Brave New World, have none equality because they are conditioned to be different, to have different skills and likes, and like that, the government can separate them into social classes, where everyone is happy and there is no war. Furthermore, Brave New World’s god is named “Ford”, so their God, doesn’t exist neither. This world would be like an alien world for them.
Meanwhile, others follow the guidelines of their government. Such beliefs are generated through factors such as cultural background, family history, religious faith, past experiences, and going through school. Abortion is a topic that leads to conflicting views and arguments between people because the aspect of killing a fetus goes against people’s faith. Through extensive research and the efforts of Philip Devine, Mary Anne Warren, and Paul Wilkes, the
Those people who are not in favor of abortion has the choice to not abort a baby and to those who has different religious and moral beliefs, like we all do, should have the right to stand what they think is right and moral and should not have to live on the belief system of other people. If a woman feels and knows that her pregnancy is harmful for her and for the baby’s physical and mental health, and if she knows that the child will grow up in poor environment, she should have the choice to do what she thinks is right, to do what she wants, and to decide for herself. Abortion is something that needs to be decided based on a person’s own beliefs and no one has the right to decide this for someone else. Do some people know what it is like to be a young, goal oriented woman, having an entire great future, and then she is suddenly facing difficult decision of choosing her great future or having an unwanted child? You
The Pro-life advocates who are against late-term abortion argued that life begins at conception. At six weeks the fetus heart begins to beat and all the major organs have developed. In that case, any action deliberately taking to abort the fetus is ethically wrong and is considered as murder. An unwanted child is a pitiful thing, the thought of terminating something that if allowed to run its natural course, would result in the birth of a human being that will bring joy to most families. The Pro-abortionist focused only on a women’s right to choose and all the social problems inherent in an unwanted child, forgetting that the unborn child is a precious thing that has the right to life and deserves the full protection under the moral and ethics law.
Conclusion Birth Control Funding Contraception is the use of various devices to prevent pregnancy. People today believe that the only contraception out there is condoms.

If vaccinations become mandatory, a serious conflict possibly will occur between following the law and following beliefs. A tug of war no party wants to play. Parents who have made the choice to refuse, delay, or be selective about vaccines may appear to look irresponsible, when in reality very sound and scientific reasons for such choices remain. Each person has different worldviews, backgrounds, perceptions, and life experiences. Moreover, these all
Say an under aged girl, or even a girl who isn’t under aged was molested or raped, and that resulted in a pregnancy. Someone with Utilitarian views could say it is better to have the abortion because it could cause more harm on the baby or the mother if she continues the pregnancy, and suffers depression by the constant reminder growing inside of her, or after the child is born she could resent the child and cause it harm. These situations would have a negative outcome for more people than a good one, so in Utilitarinaism eyes, aborting the baby would be the right thing to do. Consider someone who is looking to adopt a baby, because they cannot have a baby of their own. If a woman aborts her baby she could be denying that couple who can’t have a baby the opportunity to adopt.
