SA Discussion 1, “Every human life is sacred since a human being has been created in the likeness and image of the holy and living God”. This phrase highlights the dignity and sanctity of human life. It claims that from conception until death, human life is intrinsically precious and deserving of respect (Draper & Green, 2023). I chose it because realizing each person’s inherent value is fundamental when discussing concerns related to the beginning of life. The sanctity and dignity of the human person and the bioethical principles can direct our thinking and decisions when it comes to beginning-of-life concerns. The principle of beneficence encourages the advancement of the best interests and general welfare of people. The principle demands us to consider what activities or decisions will optimize the health and welfare of the mother and the unborn child. Such is mainly in the context of issues about the beginning of life. For instance, healthcare professionals must use specific strategies to safeguard and advance the health of both the mother and the fetus. The strategies include assessing the benefits and dangers of medical procedures during pregnancy. Autonomy on the other hand gives an individual right to make decisions in a voluntary and educated manner regarding their own body and life. Autonomy recognizes the value of respecting a pregnant woman’s decision-making on her reproductive options and medical care in the context of the beginning of life. Autonomy emphasizes the necessity of offering thorough and objective information (Mwaniki, 2021). Such is meant to help individuals make decisions in line with their ideas and beliefs while considering the welfare of both the mother and the unborn child. The principle of sanctity and the dignity of the human highlights the importance of conserving and protecting human life while also acknowledging the inherent value and worth of every human being. The principle urges us to consider the moral standing of the unborn child and the ethical ramifications of any choices or acts that might affect their welfare (Manugeren et.al., 2023). The concerned individuals should base their moral standing while looking at issues about the beginning of life. Therefore, it encourages us to treat these problems with respect and dedication to preserving the dignity of everyone concerned. Real-world circumstances can help us in exploring how these principles interact as we consider these prenatal challenges. For instance, all the outlined moral principles should be regarded in case of health danger for a pregnant woman (Bambale, 2022). Therefore, it requires specific approaches to ensure all individuals’ wellness. The strategies include assessing the different elements at play, carefully deliberating, and working for a solution concerning personal and social ethics. KB discussion 2, An element of discussion that I find important to me is written by Cahill, who says “In 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled that states may not prevent women from having abortions during the first six months of pregnancy. Six months coincides roughly with the time of “viability”, the ability to survive outside the womb”. (Cahill, page 3). Also, “John Paul II views abortion as an instant of control of the weak by the strong appearance this is true in a double sense, adults attack vulnerable life in the wound; Woman seeking abortions are often unable to access resources to continue a pregnancy and raise a child”. (Cahill, page 4). I think this quote is important because all women should be able to choose what they want to do with their baby regardless its wrong or right in our opinions. Ideally, abortion is not the way to handle that difficult situation regardless of how it happened. I don’t believe in ending a baby’s life because of whatever the situation may be. I feel you should give the baby up for adoption to give the baby a chance at life and could possibly have a happy, healthy life with another family. Woman have to choose what is best for their life and the baby’s life. We don’t know what is happening in someone’s life, and having an abortion may be the best option. I do agree that there should be more resources and options for those who don’t want to go through abortion. Mothers can also give their baby to foster care, adoption, and so many more options. A Bioethical personal principle that would relate to abortion would be Autonomy. Panicola states in his article “Health care Ethics”; “We choose our own way in life and to make our own decisions within moral limits”. (Panicola, Page 14). I would say this could be a combination of Autonomy and Beneficence as a personal principle. Beneficence is the responsibility we must promote the overall good of others and not harm others”. (Panicola, page 14). For Social Principles, I would say Subsidiarity would be the most appropriate for this topic. “Subsidiarity is the recognition that decisions should be made at the lowest, most appropriate level by those closest to the situation and with the best understanding of the complexities of the issue”. (Panicola, page 15). These principles can help us think what is right and wrong in a situation and help us decide morally the best direction to go with choosing
