TOPIC
Case 4-1 Ivy’s Decision: Have an abortion or not?
Your response will involve 6 paragraphs in total, as outlined below.
Ignore the textbook questions at the end of each case study. Instead,
work though each of the case studies using EACH of the 4 ethical frameworks. You will do this in one paragraph for each framework. For each
framework, apply its main tenets or principles to your Case Study and
arrive at a decision about what outcome would likely be.
After these 4 paragraphs, write a 5th paragraph describing which
(if any) ethical framework most matches your personal moral views. Describe why. Lastly, write a 6th paragraph describing your experiences
doing this assignment: were there any unexpected results?, surprising answers? Was it harder to apply some frameworks over others? Were
there any similarities/differences in applying the frameworks?, etc. You don’t need to answer all of these questions – just 1 or 2. These are
meant to be examples.
It will be harder to apply some frameworks than others. You may have
to make some assumptions or details in order to reach an intelligent conclusion. That is fine, as long as you clearly identify them in your posting. Some examples might be: The vaccine shortage will only last 6 months; The patient has no family support; etc.
To summarize, you will clearly identify the Case Study you have chosen (by name) and write 6 paragraphs as follows:
1. Apply Principlism to solve the dilemma. Address each of the
4 principles
2. Apply Deontology to solve the dilemma.
3. Apply Consequentialism to solve the dilemma
4. Apply Natural Law (AKA Catholic Bioethics) to solve the dilemma.
Address the 3 foundational theological concepts and other lesser
principles which are relevant – not all will be relevant, but say so. This
material was presented in Dr. Parker’s eLecture.
5. Describe which framework mostly closely represents your personal moral outlook in the case study you choose, and explain why.
6. Describe your observations about this assignment and the
frameworks in general.
