Contemporary Ethical Dilemmas

Everyday in class we begin a more interesting topic than the time before. I can tell I am going to enjoy the semester in class very much. Today we discussed alot of different issues portaining to the female reproductive organs. I just like everyone have my own opinion on the situations and am going to express them through the topics we have covered today.
Abortion was the first topic and is a very big one I see all around me. I personally think that it is the womans decision and every situation may be different, in some situations it might not be right but who am I to judge or say anything to that person. I think that being irresponsible and not taking the situation seriously in the beginning of the pregnancy is uncalled for. I dont think abortion should be allowed after a certain point in the pregnancy because that baby is growing and developing inside of you and could be to far in development for an abortion decision should not be made. A drama at my story has been going on this past month about a girl who is 18 and told someone at work she was pregnant and was getting an abortion. Everyone at my work is completely against abortion and heard the rumors and were very cruel to the girl, writing threatening emails and sending pictures and facts from the internet. I thought that it was very immature of grown woman to act this way but on the otherhand I think that the girl should have known better to keep her mouth shut about her business. I thinks it very sad because she probably didnt have anyone to help her through the decision. She ended up telling everyone she was not pregnant at all. I think she probably got the abortion without any support or anyone to stand by her side. All she had was people that sat there knowing that this young girl had alot on her shoulders and talked crap about her. There are situations like this all around and this is a dilemma that will probably go back forth for lifetimes, but everyone has there own opinion and I don't think of it as right and wrong, moreless as a personal situation and decision.
Abortion pertaining to the father, if the father knows and is aware of everything that is going on I think he has the right to be involved give his concerns and opinions to the mother but in the end she makes the decision. There are alot of facts that are very true in why the woman should be able to make those decisions on her own.
Artifiical Insemination is another topic we discussed today and I saw it in different points that I have never thought of before. I actually saw the wrong in doing it, and the harm and battles that it can cause. I always thought of artificial insemination as an honor or gift to be able to have a baby when a woman can't. Now there are so many different factors that can make it so difficult. I cannot believe there have actually been alot of cases were a woman is inserted with the wrong egg or sperm, you would think the clinics would be efficiently regulated. There should be rules, regulations, guidelines, and laws for an clinic or place that has artificial insemination. The conversation has opened my mind alot today on the situation and I am not quite sure were I stand on it.
Sterilization is a situation were I find alot of woman want and should probably get it done. I see alot of family's living in poverty because they can't afford the children that they keep having but the doctor's will not let them have their tubes tide because of the number of children they have or their age. In some cases were a woman is out of state of mind to have a baby she should be forced to take some precaution whether it be sterilization or not. We have enough kids living in poverty, not being cared for properly, not knowing who their parents are, and taking after their parents living an unexceptable life. This to should be taken on a case by case basis but as a normal woman living in poverty or a woman who just simply does not want to have kids that should be that woman right to decide.
It seems there are so many dilemmas that people have there different opinions on and I could not label as right vs. wrong. I do not know how people actually make laws and rules to go about dilemmas as the ones we talk about in class, it is very hard for me to completely take sides on any of them becuase I can see it from all aspects. I just do not know how they do it!
