Ethical Issues: "Abortion"

Introduction

The abortion is a simple medical procedure that ends pregnancy. Through the story around the world and in many religions, women have used abortion as part of their health care. Not all women believe abortion is right, but every woman has the right to make their own decision.

Ethical Analysis of Abortion

Returning to biological, embryo is only the beginning of a process that may or may not culminate in a living being. The embryo is just a project that is in its infancy and that the same work of nature, may be interrupted, as evidenced by the fact that at least 30% of pregnancies end in spontaneous abortions. Claiming that has its own life is like holding someone has a house when the ground has, drawings and some bricks.

It is necessary to consider also is a law of balance of nature that the less chance of survival is a species produces more seeds or eggs to ensure survival, at least, some descendants. For example, reptiles or insects lay thousands of eggs, and only a few ever born and fewer people reach adulthood. This, in other words, means that the projected nature much more life than they can grow and reproduce as a way of ensuring that a given species is not extinct.

Science has shown that an embryo or fetus is not yet human life. Like a flower, even if it fertilized by pollen-not a fruit, as it requires other steps to contain what makes fruit. Embryos stored in fertility clinics are not children. To believe otherwise would be to say that eating eggs chicks are eating, when we look at a flower we are seeing a fruit ... The processes that make life on the planet go through stages qualitatively different. Becoming a human life takes a long time and only when an embryo achieves the level of development to survive regardless of being that gave him birth, may be called a living being.

The fallacy that the abortion is killing a living being has the sole purpose of creating a sense of guilt in women who want no more children. Furthermore, for a society of human beings alive, not only needs of living things, also requires an ethic of life. An ethical decision takes into account all the implications in the short, medium and long term. Ethics is not an instantaneous impulse. The decision to bring a child into the world or not, involves being well aware of a horizon of at least 40 years. Of which at least 15 are our own responsibility for survival and future of that child happy. It involves allocating a large portion of our time, energy and resources, often in short supply in this society of injustice to another human being who will be at a stage absolutely dependent on us.

The millions of women who practice abortion because they have no emotional or physical conditions of raising a child / to show a more developed sense of ethics than ...
