different theories in determining the moral status of the fetus
Jesica, Maria, Marco, and Dr. Wilson applied different theories in determining the moral status of the fetus. Dr. Wilson gave the family all options required, however, he illustrates great support of abortion on his understanding of medical deformities. Dr. Wilson uses the theory of cognitive properties outlining to have one morals status, needs to be able to illustrate the level of rationality and awareness which is not owned by fetus making fetus not to have a moral condition, thus, acceptable to abort it. Maria asks Jessica to meditate about her roles as a mother to the child to show respect to the intent of God which fall under the theory of relationship. Jessica has united with the fetus as a mother as well as a connection to God offering fetus with a moral status that abortion is wrong. This is illustrating the divine command theory which is based on creator being God and decides morality. Jessica is in financial problems thus making her be in the chaos that the kid posses alongside the beliefs of her religion which is against abortion (“Ethics: Moral Status,” n.d.). Jessica uses the theory of moral agency as she is planning to have the moral status of the child is in place. Macro uses theory based on the relationship because the moral situation of the child may change depending on action by Jessica. Having discussed the above different approaches, it is clear that every one of them has different opinions of what should be done to the fetus of which is very right based on their beliefs and values (Newbanks, Rieg, & Schaefer, 2017, p. 1).
