Moral Status of Fetus

Based on “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality” and the required topic study materials, write a 750-1,000-word reflection that answers the following questions:

  1. What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to the intrinsic human value and dignity?
  2. Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? What from the case study specifically leads you to believe that they hold the theory you selected?
  3. How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendations for action?
  4. What theory do you agree with? Why? How would that theory determine or influence the recommendation for action?

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Here are the expectations for the upcoming assignment:

  1. You will need to apply the theories to the fetus, the fetus only and only the fetus and not the characters (this repetition is deliberate). We already have moral status, therefore applying any theory to the persons in the case study will amount to no points no matter how well discussed. We are alive because we have moral status. The assignment question is really asking you: What Moral status would Marco ascribe to the fetus? What is the fetus right to or not to live according to Marco and Why? Think the same way for each person. You are not to focus on the relationship they have with each other. The fetus is the main focus, the fetus and only how they see the fetus.
  2. Let’s us think about Marco for a little bit. Marco does apply a theory to the fetus. We are not concerned about how he feels about his wife. We are concerned about how Marco sees the fetus and from there we undoubtedly know which theory Marco would favor.(This is a tip)
  3. As much as possible have a structure to your paper. I recommend an Introduction containing a thesis statement as the last one or two sentences, subheadings for each of the questions asked,and finally a brief conclusion. Don’t worry about going over the maximum word count as long as you are not significantly over ( by significantly I mean 500 to a 1000 more words. I look for a good discussion that is well supported by reference from the passage and your own thoughts.
  4. I strongly recommend subheadings. I appreciate those who use subheadings. In your everyday reading, your reading is divided into subheadings to keep you focus. So it should be in your writing. Can you imagine reading pages and pages without subheadings? Your subheadings should not be the questions asked in the assignment, just the key points in the question. For example, your first subheading (which comes after your introduction of course) would be: Christian View of the Nature of Persons and Moral Status.
  5. Answer each question deliberately.

(a)What is the Christian view of the nature of human persons, and which theory of moral status is it compatible with? How is this related to the intrinsic human value and dignity?

The above question is the first question. It has three(3) parts to be discussed. Deliberately answer each part of the question.

  1. Because you used the case study to do this assignment and the video to help you better understand the concept of moral status, these should be included in your list of sources or made part of your references along with any other source you will reference.

7.Finally, know your rubric. Review the rubric and know what you need to get full points in a section. Answering a question briefly is different than answering a question fully. Know your rubric and what is expected for full points in each section.

This video gives you a clear and visual understanding of the concept of moral status. Please focus on this video alone and avoid getting drawn into the others as they are not relevant to what you will write about this week. Yes, they are pretty interesting, and you should watch them when you have the time. But for now, the video on Moral status is your main focus for a clear understanding of the concept. Simply copy and paste in your browser and enjoy.
