Instructions

This assignment is the first step in a three part project. You only need to focus on part one at this point. Each step will build on earlier steps. However, it is not a matter of providing a rough draft of all or even part of the entire project here in week three. That is, further steps might require completely new and original text.  At the same time, completing each step will aid you in completing a future step or future steps. And, you should use the same topic in all steps.

First, select a topic of moral controversy, debate, disagreement, and dispute, Examples of such topics are euthanasia, the death penalty, abortion, cloning, etc. You can pick any such topic. It need not be listed here.

Next, detail the positions of each side of the ethical debate. Note at least two moral reasons each side presents to show their view on the topic is correct.

Now, we want to evaluate these positions using the moral theories we studied this week:

  • What would an Ethical Egoist say about this topic? What side would the Ethical Egoist take? What would the Ethical Egoist say to justify their moral position? Is there a conflict between loyalty to self and to community relevant to your topic? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action.
  • What would a Social Contract Ethicist say about this topic? What side would the Social Contract Ethicist take? What would the Social Contract Ethicist say to justify their moral position? Does your topic involve a collision between personal obligations and national ones? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action.

Finally, reference and discuss any professional code of ethics relevant to your topic such as the AMA code for doctors, the ANA code for nurses, or any other pertinent professional code. State whether and how your chosen topic involves any conflicts between professional and familial duties.

most controversial issues in the country. However, accessibility and restrictions to abortion vary
from one state to another. Abortion is described as removing the fetus from the uterus before
twenty-eight weeks gestation to stop the baby's development and eventually stop its birth.
Abortion is not a recent thing as women have chosen to have it since time immemorial even
though Christians and the early jews prohibited it for religious and practical reasons. Human life
was seen as special consideration of adding another individual to the society to help in work,
defense against foes, and continuity of the family or community. The ethical argument on
abortion should rest on several foundations if the fetus qualifies to be a human being and the
pregnant woman's rights compared to the fetus.
The antagonists of abortion, otherwise known as pro-life, contend that abortion is morally
wrong because the fetus is an innocent human being or has the potential of life that would
develop fully into a functional individual (MJ, 2021). These antagonists trust that a fetus
becomes a person immediately after conception, and therefore it deserves moral and legal
protection. Supporters of abortion, known as pro-choice, trust a woman has the right to choose
whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.
