The Abortion - An Ethical Approach

Abstract

The abortion topic is very often discussed and each time we have to face the same problem: we don’t get universal answers. All of our answers depend on many factors and mostly of the native cultural heritage. We cannot live outside the native culture; it is impregnated in our genes. So, after all, the miscarriage would be only a very personal option. That’s why, the ethics is not necessarily a scienti?c ?eld, it is rather a battle?eld of arguments.

KEY WORDS: ethics, theories, morality, abortion, fetus, person, rights, the golden rule, the potentiality principle
