By using utilitarianism ethics it would seem the benefits of not airing the prank would be more beneficial. As this would be seen by the radio station as maintaining their professional integrity, it would avoid the possibility of impacting their relationships with multiple stakeholders negatively. From the positives and negatives discussed, it would seem under utilitarianism ethics the prank would not be ethical to broadcast. Kantian Ethics The decision to not air the prank would not be delayed under Kantian ethics. As the main issue at stake is the process of the matter; therefore the principle of duty must be followed.
One of the most ethical controversial issues being debated now in United States is whether late- term abortion should be banned or not. Most people argued that it is proper to ban late-term abortion. They believe that it is un-ethical and a murder of an unborn child not a right of freedom of choice. It is an immoral act and violates the social and religious norms. On the other hand some people argued that late-term abortion should not be banned because it is necessary to terminate a fetus when the life of the woman is in danger as a result of complicated pregnancy; or when pregnancy result from incest or rape and the woman may be late in finding out that she is pregnant.
Senator Barbara Boxer United States Senate Washington DC, 20510 Dear Senator Boxer, Hi, I am Marissa and I am a student at Warren high school and I strongly believe that reproductive cloning is wrong. I am against reproductive cloning because it can lead to an end of our humanity. Human beings are so unique and to copy an individual is devaluing to the original creation of a human.

A doctor does not have the right to do this because he or she is not God and should not ‘play God’. This is why euthanasia is opposed. Followers of Natural Law would argue that euthanasia, with regards to the quality of life, might end a person’s suffering which was causing them to have poor quality life, but it does not consider that a person could have gotten better if they were not euthanized and their quality of life could have improved. This is why a follower would object to euthanasia. The case study of Dr Nigel Cox can be used.
Though there are faults with both sides, everybody has their own reasons for supporting or not supporting artificial insemination. The reasons a person would have for opposing artificial insemination could be a number of different things. The most obvious of these reasons would be related to religion. Many churches teach their followers that “it is morally bad for a couple to generate human life by inseminating the wife with sperm provided by a man who is not her husband or by inseminating a woman other than the wife with sperm from the husband…(May, PhD).” This is because it is being done outside of the
Working towards our moral sensibilities will reflect the fact that there is no distinction between dutiful acts and supererogatory acts. Supererogatory acts are something that is nice to do for others yet we are not obligated to do
Many people believe creating designer babies is along the same lines. The initiation of designer babies will affect biodiversity. Genetic engineering will also have a negative impact on society. It will result in an increase of unreasonable fear or hatred towards anyone who appears different. People with genetic defects are already treated differently and out cast from society.
Thus creating a huge debate in the public world, and many ethical decisions to whether (hESC) is morally wrong. Considering Human Embryonic Stem cell research today's Pandora's box, the benefits of embryonic stem cell research outweigh the moral costs because of the
They also believe that genetic modification is almost like playing Gods role, which is seen as disrespectful to God. They also believe that there are some faults with the world and people because the world can’t be perfect as only heaven is perfect, so trying to play God role. They also believe that embryo research is just like abortion and because they don’t believe in abortion they will not allow genetic research! Some Muslims also believe that scientists that try to make life from the stem-cells is playing God which is something that is serious and can’t be forgiven for a Muslim to do it
Many parents have trouble on deciding when to talk to their kids about birth control or just taking them to go get birth control. Parents have the decision on whether or not you support their teens on having sex by giving them birth control. Many parents face the fact that their child may get pregnant or get someone pregnant if they are sexually active. So, the problem is do parents give the child birth control or is it supporting their child to be sexually active? An unexpected pregnancy as a teen can be a devastating occurrence.
