Essay / Argumentative Essay on Abortion - 1635
Abortion is an important and highly controversial health topic globally. Politicians and medical professionals debate daily the legal and moral validity of removing a developing child while it is still in the womb. Although it has been practiced for hundreds (if not thousands, going back to the Code of Hammurabi, around 1760 BCE) of years around the world, the United States has legalized abortion in the Roe v. Wade to the Supreme Court in 1973. did not end the countless debates at all levels over whether or not abortion should be banned. In this essay, the morality and justification of abortion will be examined while delving into the history of abortion itself. As previously noted, abortion dates back to prehistoric times, first being listed in the Code of Hammurabi. Here it was written that miscarriage caused by assault was a crime. The exact extent of the crime varied depending on the woman's social rank. The death penalty was even the punishment provided for in the Code of Assura (Assyrian law, circa 1075 BCE) if a woman aborted against the wishes of her husband. Even in ancient India, smrti and Vedic laws required the preservation of “male semen” in women. Ancient China and Greece followed in the footsteps of their predecessors, performing abortions through various means and imposing laws on the act itself. One particular perspective from Classical Greece is particularly important when examining the morality of abortion. Aristotle was a renowned philosopher of classical Greece. Deliberating about abortion was just one of his many attributes. As he put it: “The line between legal and illegal abortion will be marked by having sensation and being alive. » He determined that the point of ...... middle of paper ...... one is in the world if she does not or cannot raise the child herself. Adoption is one of them, where another family would be grateful for the opportunity to raise your child as their own. To me, the morality of this issue comes into play when it is related to sexual morality. Those who consider themselves old and mature enough to have premarital sex should be prepared to face the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy. Every argument has its flaws. It is cases like these in the medical world that give rise to much deliberation and debate over a single issue. It can hardly be said that one point of view is completely superior to the other. We need to find a balance between our morality and our health and so I have a balanced view on the moralism of abortion. Circumstances must be taken into account when determining the validity and moralism of an abortion.
