The ethical dilemma here is autonomy and non-maleficence. The principle of autonomy recognizes the rights of individuals to self-determine and is based on the human capacity to direct one's life according to rational principles. Autonomy in this case recognizes that this family had the ability to determine what to do with this pregnancy either, to carry it to term or not. Another ethical principle is non maleficence which means not harming or inflicting the least harm possible to reach a beneficial outcome.…
