ABORTION ETHICS
1.ethical considerations of the fetus as a potential human life

-"human life begins as soon as the egg is fertilized by sperm"
-an unborn fetus is a human child, unborn babies are distinct persons.
-children are in a vegetative state, does it put them on par with an unborn fetus?
2. moral and ethical implicatons of a woman's right to control her own body
- pro-choice women advocates that prohibiting women from obtaining abortions denies
them the right to control their own bodies and make their own medical decisions
- there are other solutions to these challenges besides terminating the life of a
child
3. the ethical considderations of access to safe and legal abortion

- the WHO that over 13% of maternal deaths are caused by unsafe abortion
- safe and legal abortion is ethical (therapeutic abortion), becuase it prevents
these fatalities and multiple health complications
- even a safe abortion raises a woman's risk of mental health struggles
4. the ethics of Abortion in cases of rape or incest
- even pro-lifers would agree that its incredibly unfair for a woman who has been
raped to carry the child
- many rape and incest victims suffer from mental health problems as a result of
the crimes that have been committed against them
- one cannot deny the fetus is also a human life
- what's more, recent research indicates that a fetus may be able to feel pain at
just 12 weeks.
- is it moral or ethcal to cause pain and suffering for a human being that is
innocent of the crime committed against his or her mother
5. options to abortion such as adoption

- it is unethical for a woman to have an abortion as an adoption plan
- the mother would not be responsible for caring for the baby long-term
- adoption is an emotionally difficult decision that impacts both the birth mother
and the child
- from an ethical and moral standpoint, as it is typically the best decision for
all involved if a woman feels she cannot parnet her unborn child
6. ethical consideration of a nurse/doctor's right to refuse to perform abortions

- doctors and nurses should have the right to refuse to perform an abortion even if
the woman wants to obtain woman
- considered unethical and immoral if the woman has life-threatening condition
- Abortion, can seem like the best option in many cases; however its not
necessarily a moral or ethical course of action in most instances.
- A woman facing an unplanned preganancy will want to consider all her optiond to
make the best possible decisions.
-Nurses can help in decision-making process by providing free early [regnancy
services. counselling options and support to help the women.
Euthanasia
- greek word "thanatos" - easy and happy life
- is an understood action or omission hich, of itself or by intension causes death,
in order that all suffering may in this way be eliminated.
- euthanasia is illegal in the Phillipines
- license will be revoked
Is DNR euthanasia?
- DNR orders are a form of passive euthanasia
-active euthanasia, killing a patient by active means, ie. injecting a lethal dose
of a drug
-passive euthanasia, intentionally letting a petient die by withholding artificial
life support.
EUTHANASIA and ASSISTED SUICIDE
-better care for the sick and dying fights against euthanasia and assisted suicide
-death with dignity, people are spiritual beings
-promote the way of caring for the dying, mercy is extended without inducing death
*PEACEFUL DEATH*

euthanasia is evil:
1. violation of the natural law
-violates the law of god
-nothing and no one can permit the killing of an innocent child.
2. Contrary to the author of life

-dishonor against the creator
