Paper Summary:

This paper examines Ronald Munson's book, "Intervention and Reflection: Basic Issues in Medical Ethics", which was warmly welcomed by the medical community and the general public. It serves as the most authentic ethical guide on various controversial subjects. In particular, it looks at how Munson deals with the topic of abortion and analyzes the details of one pro-life and one pro-choice argument that Munson presents.

From the Paper:

"Another major weakness of this argument is in connection with its "every child must be wanted" ideal. The author maintains that every child coming into this world should be "wanted". In other words, he feels that if a mother wants to terminate pregnancy, it means that she doesn't want the child she is carrying and therefore bringing such a child into the world would only result in numerous problems as the child would not be provided with loving care that he deserves. But this argument appears to be a rather weak one because we have noticed that many unwanted children have gone on to live a very productive life and thus if we kill all of them, we would probably also kill people like Beethoven too."
