A baby deserves to experience and witness life’s beauties. If the mother tragically loses her life during childbirth, it is well worth it.
This brings about many ethical questions and moral concerns. The practice that likely incites the most controversy in selective abortion is sex selective reduction. As technology has advanced, the availability of ultrasound technology has provided practitioners with the ability to identify many fetal characteristics, one of which is gender (Higgins, 2016). Sex-selective reduction mirrors the practice of so called “gendercide” that occurs in countries such as China and India. In these countries sex selective abortion is used to create a population that is predominantly male. To American’s these methods may seem inhumane, and there are many organizations in the US and around the world attempting to stop gender specific abortion. What many Americans probably do not realize is these practices occur in the United States as well, and they have for a long time. While these methods are considered legal in the United States, the ethical implications of aborting fetuses based on sex creates an entirely new concern. The practice of selective abortion in general has created a number of ethical questions for society, and those practicing in the medical
Abortion is topic to discuss here. Seeking a Common Ground is the only way to abortion debate. I do have great respect to all women. Like on power point men don’t get pregnant and don’t even realize that their women are pregnant but women always do know every single change on them. I would say, it is better to do abortion than suffer from family issue by having unplanned baby. It could mess the whole family and their career path. I know in certain place it can be immoral, illegal to do abortion after certain time from the pregnancy. People have to think how to provide good upbringing to their kids so it is better to go according to the plan. Therefore, finding a Common Ground is the best way to this problem.
Gender roles and expectations have a lot of impacts on our society and it needs to be changed in order to create a better civilisation. Although our society has ameliorated tremendously in the past years, there are still some discriminatory actions among genders that are affecting someone 's life negatively. Any remaining differential between genders need to be changed for a better moral standard of living.
Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. However many People agree to disagree on whether abortion is a legal or illegal matter. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy through removal of the embryo or fetus. I support abortion for the following reasons. Birth control failure, unable to support or care for a child, to prevent a child with birth defects or medical conditions, and a pregnancy in resulting from rape or incest. A woman should have the right to do what she pleases with her own body. For example, say a woman is pregnant with no desire of keeping the child and there was no clinic to help her remove the fetus. She’s most likely going to obtain matters into her own hands and figure a way to abort the fetus herself. Why put women in that situation when they have highly trained doctors who can remove the fetus using the proper tools with no harm done to the mother?
The WHO states that there are three core motivations for engaging in sex determination and sex selection which include “medical reasons such as preventing the birth of children affected or at risk of X-linked disorders; family balancing reasons where couples choose to have a child of one sex because they already have one or more children of the other sex; and gender preference reason often in favor of male offspring stemming from cultural, social, and economic bias in favor of male children and as a result of policies requiring couples to limit reproduction to one child, as in China.” In countries such as India and China, it is apparent that women can be harmed by sex selection
In Americas Society Abortion is a topic that most people rather not face. More and more abortions occur everyday, causing potential lives to be terminated due to irresponsible sexual activity among adults and teens. Abortions cheats the unborn child of his or hers existence and unknown experiences to come. Abortions are quick escape goats for irresponsible individuals and cause pain, suffering, and death. I t is against the law and immoral to kill another human being, and by terminating a fetus you are performing another act of killing. In my essay I will use different articles and references to back my conclusion of how Abortions are cruel, examples of different types of abortions and how
Very disturbing! Terminating the right of having an abortion for woman would only do more harm than good in my opinion, it would increase the poverty and mental health levels in the U.S.A. today. These horrific dilemmas, would then lead to more crimes, broken homes, families living on government assistance and so much more. As an ending result, I believe ethics on abortion brings upon several ethical theories, such as, natural law, Kant’s ethical theory, virtue ethic and a few more but one that stands out the most is of the utilitarian theory. I chose this theory, because a utilitarian would take into consideration if having an abortion would bring the greatest good as an outcome. Abortion is a personal decision, that woman deserve the right to
The process of gender preselection poses a high risk to society, particularly by leading to a gender bias. In a 2011 survey, 60% of surveyed couples with a gender preference prefered a boy to a girl (6). If parents are able to preselect their unborn child’s sex, the population of boys compared to girls will increase, leading to a gender imbalance. This is harmful to society because over time, men will have a harder time finding a partner. In some western countries, this has already made a large impact. China for example, is expected to have “more than 30 million men to women expected by 2020,” explains reporter Fauziah Ibrahim of 101 East News (2). In China, the gender imbalance
Imbalance of genders occur when one gender is outstanding in number to that of the other gender; for example, if there were many more males to females. Gender imbalance is calculated by the sex ratio, that is the ratio of males to females in a population (World Health Organisation, 2015). China and India are evidence of where gender imbalance has occurred. In both countries, there are specific customs and cultural stereotypes that are strictly adhered to. China perceive males to be more valuable than female due to religious beliefs, labour, and financial support; “The Chinese have traditionally preferred sons because of their potential to financially support their parents, carry on the family name, and lead ancestor worship” (Hsu, 2008). India’s ideology of male preference is based on the education of women; “women’s education is the single most significant factor in reducing son preference” (Rohini Pande, 2006). It’s clear that China and India have experienced gender imbalance due to cultural gender preferences. The American Medical Association argues that gender imbalance is “less likely to happen in the Western world” (American Medical Association, 2003
In conclusion sex selection and gender preference is the manifestation of an anti-women bias, and they are also indicative of a prejudicial and discriminatory attitude towards women. The only possible solution for this issue is to fight against the social structures that disguise the birth of girls a social and economic burden, by doing this not only the social and general aspect towards women will change but also a demographic and gender balance will be achieved in both of these
In our current generation, gender imbalance has escalated to become a worldwide problem for many individuals. It has caused them to divide into their own little worlds and not form a connection with one another. In Ghulam Nabi’s and Song Wei’s article, "Does Gender Equality Base Selection, Pose Serious Challenge for Researchers? A Review Based on Earlier Studies”, different researchers attempt to investigate issues with gender inequality that occurs with hiring new women applicants in job markets. In Kwame Anthony Appiah’s “Making Conversation”, he mentions about how some people in our world does not accept one’s culture. In Mara Hvistendahl’s “Missing: 163 Million Women”, she examines how the population of girls have reduced while the population of boys continue to multiply in Asia and other places in the world. Once some people begin to track down more aspects leading to gender imbalance, they will be able to learn how to maintain a more balanced social environment with others around them.
Abortion is tremendously unethical, just like murder is highly immoral. Many religions oppose the idea of abortion; Christianity considers abortion to be a sin under all circumstances; Hinduism considers abortion to be a form of violence. In addition, when the woman decides to have a sexual intercourse with a man without any proper use of contraception, she knows that pregnancy will result. If the mother did not want the baby in the first place or if she could not take on the responsibility of the baby, then she should not get pregnant just to later on kill the unborn innocent child in her womb. Abortion can not only harm the baby, but can also cause physical and psychological damage
One pro that my source gives is “Abortion gives pregnant women the option to choose not to bring fetuses with profound abnormalities to full term.” It later concludes “Some fetuses have such severe disorders that death is guaranteed before or shortly after birth. These include anencephaly, in which the brain is missing, and limb body wall complex, in which organs develop outside the body cavity.” This situation is heartbroken knowing that a child has to face the world with birth defects. The word is already so changeling and it a baby with severe birth defects are mental and physical challenge. Also sometimes birth of a defect child can cause the mother to die as well. In situations like this the mother has to choose between the child and herself to live. There is con to this situation too that my source states.
The cause of Asia’s, or specifically China’s, gender imbalance is fundamentally rooted in its cultural beliefs, with its patrilineal system putting preference upon the male child. There are numerous socioeconomic factors such as the unequal opportunities for females, retirement support that could be provided by men, and better socio-economic opportunities, like education and employment, that is given to males. After the introduction of the one-child policy, women scrambled to try and have male children so that their children could have a chance at better social mobility, job options, etc. The gender imbalance also negatively affects males, as there are not enough women to have as wives, rear children, or provide insights and skills that a man cannot. But by doing this, the deficit between males and females by sex ratio increased exponentially. In relation to this, global interconnectivity through technological advances, such as the internet, affected how quickly Western opinion on sex-selective abortion was seen in Asian countries.
