Case Study - Moral Dilemma

Quite agree, personally. Partly why I never had any interest in obstetrics, and mostly slept through my brief obstetrics round.

And, more pertinently, why I'll never have children. The whole "someone to take care of you when you're old" argument falls flat when you do my job, and you see that no one gives a shit.

Case Study - Moral Dilemma

I'd just be making the decision from the pov of 'which would be the least likely to get me sued, and which would look least bad if it was reported in the media'. Saying nothing or lying my omission seem like the safest options.

External cases that lead to lowered grades always inspired me to complain to the principle. I've gotten teachers in trouble more than once this way.

niiiiiiiiiiice

The world will never know what they're missing if that child is never born. It's a what if chance that has less than a 0.1% chance of happening in the first place. If Einstein of Steven Hawking were never born, would we know the difference any more than if some Adam Atkins or Valerie Shapiro were born? No, we'd go on exactly as we are in a slightly altered direction. â€‹

it will alter what genes our parents pass on to us. and it's possible that we wouldn't exist at all if children with a different genetic makeup.

I don't think it is fair to pre judge a baby that it will amount to nothing before it is born. I would carry through with the child even with the mental disability.

I don't think abortion is immoral nor unfair, regardless of the reasoning behind the decision. Life not lived does not harm the baby.

You can apply the same logic to any kind of painless murder though.

Quite right.

I've always maintained that my parents ought to pay my taxes. I'm still not sure what I'm doing here...

I would prefer to try to convince her not to lie to the family and most likely would not lie for her. At some point the truth comes out or someone will find out what has happened and its just messy all around.

I wouldn't change her mind about the adoption if that's what she wants to do- some people are well aware that they wouldn't be able to take care of a profoundly disabled child and I wouldn't begrudge them that- but I don't want to lie for them and especially not with something so serious as the death of a child.

This is pretty much my stance too. I wouldn't lie. There's no benefit for me to do so plus if she feels she has to lie then she's not comfortable with her decision. Better to refer her to a shrink.

Yeah I don't like that excuse. It is a life forced upon me. I can only understand they went through labor. I mean labor sounds pretty bad.
