Comparison Of Singer's Theories On Abortion And Infanticide

Decent Essays
Singer talks about his beliefs and theories on abortion and infanticide. There are many opinions and perspectives on these topics but within utilitarianism is a kind of consequentialism, which states that the best action is the one that maximizes utility and its actions are solely judged by its consequences. Knowing the meaning, Singer makes sense in a way that a baby cannot maximize utility and a baby doesn’t even know or make decisions. Although this may be correct, to me, its not morally wrong to kill a baby no matter what the age. With this comes the point of God and religion. To me, abortion is wrong and all life matters, but through the concept of utilitarianism, I understand what Singer is trying to say. I don’t agree with the guidelines

    Abortion is filling headlines of newspapers on a daily basis in America, creating such a strong tension that people murdering others because of differing opinions. This conflict over abortion has been controversial for hundreds of years, as most religions are against birth control and abortions. Additionally, many people see abortions as being morally and ethically wrong, but others may see it as a right to any women, or as a necessity to help control population and prevent economic turmoil. Furthermore, the concern over such controversy is even stated as an issue in some literature works such as “A Modest Proposal” by Johnathan Swift. In Swift’s work, the issue of abortion is founded in the fact that the poor Catholics could often not afford to take care of another child and thus try to get rid of it before it was born.…

    In our day and age, you will undoubtedly hear the pro-abortionists say these exact statements “it’s between the woman and her doctor” or “a woman has the right to choose.” The world today is in great peril; can people recognize right from wrong? Pro-abortionists say it is wrong to make abortion illegal in the United States because, you deny women’s right to health care. Therefore, the pro-abortionists in other words believe that, to deny a woman her right to choose an abortion, is an attack on her rights.…

    Thus Locke (not just the arguments that seem to be implied by Locke’s ideas) could be said to fully agree with Singer’s premises. Singer’s premises, however are the bulk of his argument. After establishing those, his justification for abortion constructs itself quite naturally. Thus Locke’s comment on abortion should be treated as a preliminary voyage into a topic which he had not invested the proper energy into to have made the issue self-consistent with the rest of his works. His response mirrors the initial emotional horror many might feel at the prospect of abortion and serves as a precautionary tale to those who let evolution’s ready-to-order ethical theories obscure the light of…

    “No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother,” This quote, spoken many years ago by Margaret Sanger, a prominent pioneer in the history of contraceptives, still has immense relevance in today’s society. Many women every year find themselves with unwanted pregnancies, but why does it make sense for someone not carrying the child and feeling the effects of it to decide the circumstances under which she can terminate it? The conclusion a multitude of people come to is that it should not be anyone’s decision but hers. In the United States, abortion should be available for all women with less restrictions and the final choice should be theirs, because a woman is entitled to rights over her own body, and it is a healthier, safer option for the woman that does not wish to carry to term and for the child.…

    It may seem inhumane to say, "Miss, you’re scheduled to kill your baby at 10 AM on Thursday," but that is in fact what abortion is. This has to be acknowledged. Perhaps, people wouldn’t have to get abortions if abortions themselves were weighed in a more humane light. In a perfect world, abortion would be illegal: it is the murder of an innocent human being. But given the infallibly of man (often seen in rape cases and drunken choices), it is vital that, under certain circumstances, women be allowed to terminate their child—but not via the government’s money!…

    Since the mid of twentieth century, the rapid development of scientific technologies has promoted the world economy to increase largely so as to fasten the process of globalization. However, as the global connection has become increasingly intimate, there is a range of global problems such as famine and poverty. While many ethists have studied these problems by holding different arguments, Singer is the one whose point of view respecting to the question whether or not we have the duty to help the victims of famine and poverty in some distant poor countries is the most representative and controversial as well. In fact, Singer’s ethical principle is based on general utilitarianism and even distribution of benefits. Firstly, he synthesizes both…

    In his essay, “Famine, Affluence, and Morality”, Peter Singer begins with the assumption that famine should be eradicated, based upon the generally wide held principle that the suffering created by lack of food is bad. He then sets up the general basis for his argument which is: “if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable importance, we ought, morally, to do it” (Singer 231). From this general idea, Singer outlines the reasons why it is a person’s moral duty to prevent famine and how a person should help alleviate famine, all of which can be backed by the theory of utilitarianism. Singer claims that a person has the duty morally to give in order to prevent something bad from occurring.…

    The Utilitarian and Deontological Discussion of Abortion Today, abortion has become a heavily debated topic whether socially or politically since the medical procedure was voted legal by the Supreme Court over 40 years ago. It is defined as the purposeful termination of a pregnancy before a normal childbirth (Abortion: Get Facts About the Procedure and Statistics). Whether you find yourself agreeing with it or not, many people have something to say. Abortion is very controversial because of the discussion whether or not a fetus is a person. Many wonder if there is a morally relevant point at some duration throughout the pregnancy or development of the fetus that could justify having an abortion or possibly not having an abortion.…

    In concordance with this theme, the actual procedure necessary to perform an abortion is painful, resulting in an increase in pain to the fetus (“Utilitarian”, n.d.). This contradicts one of the fundamental principles of utilitarianism, to increase pleasure and to avoid pain. In addition, utilitarianism places great emphasis on maximizing utility. The very purpose of abortion is to end a human life, which reduces overall utility by impeding the natural reproduction process and therefore inhibiting further population. This is counterintuitive to the utilitarian code of ethics.…
