We talk about growing, we talk about technology, we talk about development, we talk about the changing mentalities, but then why are we stuck with the thought of terminating pregnancy as bad? There are a hundreds of more important issues that need more attention than playing with a mother’s decision. Emily Rapp, who has a son who has disability that can never be cured, herself, in her article, has written that if she had the choice of terminating her pregnancy before he was born, she would rather go through that than watching her two year old son choking. People have a right to make their own choices, and someone else has no right to take that right away.
Morals and ethics do play an important role when it comes to making decisions. And terminating pregnancies have been a major issue. Some say that it is not moral to kill babies before they were born. It is also against religion. But in the today’s world we cannot afford to be so backward. And according to me, making someone suffer, for no fault of his or her, is not moral either. When people can be put into jail for torturing someone, then how is it bad to save someone from the torture.
Some will say that abortion is killing a life. Well, scientifically a “baby” is not aborted. It’s the “fetus” that is aborted, which is basically just a bunch of cells. It does not even have the structure of a baby; it is literally a bunch of cells that are nothing without a woman’s body. So is taking out some cells from a woman’s body so bad that it is against the law in some countries?
But according to the law, we have the right to make our own decisions that don’t cause damage to others. So, if a couple makes a decision to remove some cells from the female’s body, that shouldn’t be a problem. It the woman’s body and the husbands and her decision to remove something from her body. When there is a choice, which does not harm anybody, then why is there no choice to choose it? And when the parents know that their child will suffer a lot after he is born, then it, naturally, is better not give birth to that child and save him or her from the torture. Not only does the child suffer, but also the parents. Their pockets get hurt and also their emotions. No parent would want their child not to be able to play, eat, sleep and enjoy life. There have been situations when disabled people themselves ask for death. But even that’s an ethical issue.
We all make many decisions in life. Some are small and some are very big. A good decision will be the one which makes life less complicated and painful. And terminating a pregnancy, which would produce a person filled with problems, is a good decision. It makes life better for the unborn and for the parents.
Very good focus in both of your essays. You nicely summed up the sources' central arguments and then stated that you agreed. Your evidence, however, is a little weak. For these kinds of prompts, think like this: I agree for reasons X, Y, and Z. Those three reasons then need to be explained. Still, overall, these were well done.
