Cases where there is a serious medical problem
Hi, can you help me with this case assignment that is showing below? Thanks. I've attached the document for sample presentation. So you can consider that as a template to help me with it.
Below is s set of difficult instances of abortion, taken from the BBC website http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/abortion/philosophical/difficultcases.shtml (downloaded 2/14/2016):
Cases where there is a serious medical problem
- the pregnancy endangers the life or health of the mother
- there are too many foetuses in the womb for them all to survive
- the foetus is so defective that it will die later in the pregnancy
- the foetus is so defective that it will not live after the birth
Cases where the child will not be 'normal'
- the child will suffer from some mental or physical abnormality that the parents (correctly?) think will very seriously damage its quality of life
Cases where the pregnancy is entirely unintentional
- pregnancy caused by rape
- pregnancy caused by failure of contraception where the potential parents are not to blame
- pregnancy caused by a badly done vasectomy
- pregnancy caused by the parties not knowing that sexual intercourse causes pregnancy
- such cases would include persons who are not mentally capable of understanding this
Cases where the pregnancy is unintentional but where a risk was taken
- pregnancy caused by failure of contraception within the known risk of that contraceptive method
- pregnancy caused by carelessness in the use of contraception
- pregnancy caused by failure to use contraception
Cases where the pregnancy has lifestyle consequences
- having a child would prevent the mother achieving some life objective
- the mother is incapable of looking after a child
- the mother is incapable of looking after another child
- another child would lower the family's standard of living
- there is not enough food to support the child
- having another child would result in criminal proceedings against the parent
- the child is not of the preferred sex
- coping with the child's disability would damage the family's lifestyle
- coping with the child's disability would disadvantage existing family children
Choose ONE of these cases, and write a short case (either from your experience, from the news, or a fictionalized case) based on that one instance. Then prepare a presentation based on that case, following the usual format:
For your problem this week, prepare a short presentation that includes the following:
Summarize the case or caselet.
What is the ethical issue(s) in this case?
What are some possible solutions to the case?
What reasons support those solutions?
What do you think should be done, and why?
What are some questions for class discussion?
Explain how an ethical theory that we have studied or read about might help you with this case. Use the Powerpoint.
